William R. Davis 1
Maine Harbor Sunset

About the Item

A fine luminous Maine harbor scene by contemporary American artist William R. Davis (1952-). Davis was born in Somerville, Massachusetts, and grew up in Hyannis Port where he took sailing lessons and became intimately acquainted with the marine landscape, inspiring much of his early work. He has become well-known in New England and across the country as a self-taught artist of luminist marine and landscape paintings, which capture the tranquil light of sunset and sunrise on the water. Davis’ style is influenced by the techniques of 19th century artists, and he describes it himself as “a conglomerate of a number of ideas I saw in other artists with my own refinements.” He is a founding member of the New American Luminists. Although best known for his marine subjects, Davis has shifted in the last few years to painting more landscapes on location in the tradition of plein air painting, partly influenced by his friendships with artists Joseph McGurl and Donald Demers. Oil on canvas, signed lower right, signed and title inscribed on verso “Maine Harbor Sunset,” and housed in a fine quality molded giltwood frame. Dimensions: 18 in H x 36 in W, actual; 26 in H x 44 in W x 3 in D. Ref: 55907

Autumn Landscape
By William Louis Sonntag Sr. 1
Located in Milford, NH
A wonderful Autumn landscape likely of the Hudson River Valley by the revered American artist William Louis Sonntag (1822-1900). Sonntag was born near Pittsburgh, PA and moved to Cincinnati, OH in the 1840’s to study art. He studied for a brief time with G. Frankenstein at the Cincinnati Academy of Fine Art and his idealized paintings of American wilderness and visionary paintings of imagined European ruins were commercially successful. He traveled twice to Europe in the 1850’s to improve his skills, eventually settling in New York City. He joined the National Academy of Design, where he exhibited his works for forty years. His mature works identify him with the Hudson River School of landscape painters. A romantic and naturalistic painter of his surroundings, Sonntag also created idealized paintings of Roman ruins, recalling his European trips of earlier years. Sonntag was an Associate (1860) and Academician (1861) at the National Academy of Design, and a member of the American Watercolor Society, Artists Fund Society, and the American Art Union...
