OIL PAINTING HENRY PEMBER SMITH SEASCAPE LANDSCAPE
OIL ON CANVAS 24'' x 36'', Henry Pember Smith (1854 - 1907), New York. A coastal scene at dusk, signed lower left. Titled ''Sweet Waters'' on the label verso. Canvas has been relined. Placed in a very nice ornate gilded frame, note the condition. A specialist in marine and landscape views, Henry Pember Smith was born in Waterford, Connecticut. Little is known about his early training or his career before 1877, when he set up a studio in New York City. It is generally assumed that he was self- taught. From 1877 on, Smith exhibited regularly at the National Academy of Design, although he never became a member. Smith also exhibited at the American Watercolor Society and the Artists' Fund. His landscapes are his best known works, particularly those of New England, Spain, Italy, England, New York State, and France. These also indicate his love of travel and some of his best known works are Venetian scenes. Working primarily in oils and watercolors, and using a tighter technique than the emerging impressionists of his time, Smith was a true realist. More info in the white binder.
