About the Item
JAMES RENWICK BREVOORT
United States, 1832-1918
View over an Italian Lake, probably Lake Maggiore
Oil on canvas Signed lower right "J.R.B."
Item # 105NWG23P
A fine tonalist painting that probably captures Lake Maggiore, Italy was executed by James Renwick Brevoort during the 1870s. It captures a tranquil view of a small village with a distinctive tower with the sprawling mountains rising into the sky behind it. Small fishing and leisure vessels line the coast while colorful towels and linens hang from balconies. It is a most pleasant scene with an intricate layering of pigments to create the scattered shadows throughout the clear blue waters of the lake. The work has been very carefully restored to a ready-to-place condition.
A larger painting by Brevoort titled on the artist label verso "Lake Maggiore" was sold at Shannon's in 2001 [April 16, 2001, lot 63, achieved $ 20,700, 16" x 23 1/2"] may depict the same village from a slightly different angle and helps attribute the scene to Lake Maggiore, though the similarity of villages and islands along and throughout Lake Como and Lake Maggiore make a definite placement uncertain.

- American Colorist Landscape Painting “Lake Shore” by Frederic M. GrantLocated in Shippensburg, PAFREDERIC MILTON GRANT United States, 1886-1959 "Lake Shore" Oil on canvas Signed lower right "Frederic M. Grant", signed and titled "Lake Shore" verso on stretcher bars Item # 109MPK24Q A vibrant landscape that blends the lines of genre work with the impressionist landscape, it captures a pair of woman caught in the middle of a conversation while a young child is exploring the path barefoot. The traditional dress is reminiscent of a century prior and is evocative of a rural Italian landscape, though the stretchers on the reverse of the painting are simply titled "Lake Shore" with no recorded indication of the placement of the scene. The brilliant cobalt blue of the lake is visible to the far right of the nearly square composition while the trees stretch like spires through the horizon and beyond the scope of the canvas, proportionally dwarfing even the cliffs in the distance behind the women. It is a composition familiar to Grant, with his preference for framing subjects with towering local trees, utilizing a relatively square canvas and including just a hint of water. In this particular example, the interplay of light and shadow in the scene is positively brilliant with Grant's palette switching from high-chroma to low-saturation within the span of a single brushstroke. The scene is signed in the lower right in his typical script, "Frederic M. Grant" and is housed in a good quality period correct carved giltwood frame. ARTIST Born in Sibley, Iowa on October 6th of 1886, Frederic Milton Grant studied at the North Dakota State University before heading to the Art Institute of Chicago. There he trained under John Vanderpool, Alphonse Mucha, Frederick Freer...Category
