About the Item

Signed and dated oil on board landscape by American impressionist painter Robert William Vonnoh. This stunning piece depicts red and orange wildflowers. This work would have been executed on one of the painters frequent trips to Grez-sur-Loing. He was especially keen on painting flowers in both gardens and in nature. Signature: Signed dated 1895 lower left Dimensions: Framed: 16.5"x20" Unframed: 10.5"x14" Provenance: Private collection - Unoted Kingdom Robert William Vonnoh studied at the Massachusetts Normal Art Club in Boston and, from 1880 onward, in Paris with Gustave Boulanger and Jules Lefebvre at the Académie Julian. He returned to Boston in 1883, began teaching at the Museum of Fine Arts School in Boston in 1885, and at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia, in 1891. In 1887, he began visiting Grèz-sur-Loing (France) frequently, sometimes for prolonged periods. Vonnoh painted flower beds, figures and landscapes with a highly colourful palette. He emphasized Impressionism in his teaching, and Robert Henri and William Glackens were among his students. Vonnoh exhibited at the Paris Salon, and was awarded an honourable mention in 1889. He became an associate of the National Academy of Design in 1900, and a member in 1906. He also belonged to the key artistic groups in New York. He won bronze medals at the Exposition Universelles of 1889 and 1900, a medal in Buffalo in 1901, a medal in Charleston in 1902, and the Thomas R. Proctor Prize at the National Academy of Design in 1904. Several of his works are in public buildings, for example: Companion of the Studio, Self-portrait and November at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts; Portrait of Dr S. Weir Mitchell at the College of Physicians of Philadelphia; John G. Milburn at the Buffalo Club, Buffalo; The Honourable John Russell Young at the Union League Club, Philadelphia; Attorney Gal Griggs at the Department of Justice, Washington; and Charles Emory Smith, Postmaster General at the Post Office Department in Washington. A retrospective exhibit of his works was displayed at Madron Gallery in Chicago and The Butler Institute, March 1 to April 9, 2010 and May 2 to June 27, 2010, respectively. The show included photographs of the artists' colony in Grez-sur-Loing along with accompanying images of the artist as well as a bronze relief made by his wife Bessie Potter Vonnoh.
