"Late Afternoon, " J. Francis Murphy Tonalist Summer / Autumn Landscape

Located in New York, NY
John Francis Murphy (American, 1853 - 1921) Late Afternoon, 1895 Oil on canvas 14 x 19 inches Signed and dated lower right Housed in a reproduction fluted cove frame. Provenance: Kenneth Lux Gallery, Inc., New York BNY Mellon, New York Christie's New York, Living with Art, October 14, 2016, Lot 352 In his lifetime, John Francis Murphy (1853-1921) was known as “the American Corot.” He was renowned for his small, intimate views of nature, especially barren fields and farms, bare trees, and lonely marshland. More than a century later, the power of Murphy’s landscapes has not waned. One contemporary critic wrote, “It was Murphy’s unique accomplishment to achieve an absolute realism without a loss of that mystic, indefinable quality which transfigures realism.” John Francis Murphy was born at Oswego, NY in 1853 but his family moved to Chicago in 1868 where he worked painting theater sets. Murphy was basically a self-taught artist; his only formal training was a few weeks of instruction at the Chicago Academy of Design. In 1875, Murphy moved from Chicago to New York, eventually rooming with the painters Dennis Bunker...

Chauncey Foster Ryder Landscape with Figures Oil Painting 1868-1949 Tonalist
By Chauncey Foster Ryder
Located in Chesterfield, NJ
CHAUNCEY FOSTER RYDER (American, 1868-1949), Pasture Lands oil/canvas signed LR 31.5 x 39.5 image, 40.5 x 48.5 framed A wonderfully subtle tonalist painting by Ryder incorporating a farmer/farmhand probably moving cows about the pastures mid right in the scene. Ryder uses a subtle S design from lower left that zig zags up to the figure and cows. The painting shows Ryder's masterful use of abstract design and technique utilizing textures in his application of paint giving the painting life and interest. Original frame, some craquelure in sky, old surface. Bears Newhouse Galleries, possibly NYC, label verso. The painting hangs in my collection currently and would benefit from a cleaning and new varnish. It is a large museum quality oil painting.
