About the Item

1930s Original Oil Painting of Ulster County, Woodstock, New York A beautifully composed regionalist landscape attributed to Rudolph Jacobi (1889–1983), known for his richly textured depictions of the Catskills and Hudson Valley. This evocative scene captures a modest country home nestled in dense spring foliage, with a winding road and distant tree silhouettes hinting at seasonal change. Executed in expressive brushwork and a vibrant yet earthy palette, the painting reflects Jacobi’s time in Woodstock, New York, where he was associated with the storied Woodstock Artists Colony. Though unsigned, the technique and subject matter are consistent with Jacobi’s documented works from the 1940s–50s. Artist: Rudolf Jacobi Medium: Oil on linen. Untitled and unsigned. Provenance: Private California collection, previously submitted to Sotheby's auction Unframed Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Canvas stable, colors strong. Minor edge wear consistent with age. Dimensions: 24"H x 19"W Rudolf Jacobi, was born in Mühlhausen, Thuringia in Germany. He apprenticed as a painter of stage sets, attended the Royal Academy in Berlin. Jacobi took part in exhibitions and became a member of the Berlin Secession. He was a soldier in the flight division during WWI. In 1921 he married painter and pacifist Anna Ottonie Krigar-Menzel (Annot), with whom he founded the Annot School of Painting. Although he began as an impressionist he became a measured expressionist, though he also painted numerous landscapes, cityscapes and portraits. The Nazis shut the Annot School in 1933 after Jacobi and Annot, who were not Jewish, refused to dismiss Jewish students from the school. The Jacobi family emigrated to New York in 1934 and they reopened the Annot School in Rockefeller Centre. Jacobi exhibited at the Salons of America, 1934; Carnegie Institute; Corcoran Gallery biennials, 1943, 1951; AIC; PAFA; CAM; SFMA; abroad. His works were acquired by museums in New York and other American cities, including the Museum of Modern Art and the Springfield Museum. During the 30's and 40's the Jacobi family lived in New York and Gloucester, Massachusetts where Jacobi painted the Gloucester Fishermen at Lunch. They moved to Puerto Rico in 1956 and returned to Germany in 1967, settling in Munich, where Jacobi died in 1972.

Early 20th Century American Impressionism -- Old Lyme New England Farm
By George M. Bruestle
Located in Soquel, CA
Gorgeous early 20th Century American Impressionist landscape of New England Farm by George M. Bruestle (American, 1871 - 1939), Circa 1914. Signed lower left and on verso. Presented in gilt-toned wood frame. Image size: 8"H x 10"W. George Matthew Bruestle is an American Realist/Impressionist painter known for his intimate landscapes. Born and raised in New York City, Bruestle studied at the Art Students' League of New York in 1886 at the young age of fifteen and later in Paris. That same year, Bruestle visited Essex, CT and eventually purchased a second home in Hadlyme, Old Lyme as the Art Colony formed. Bruestle's main studio was in New York City.
