Armenia
Located in Saratoga Springs, NY
Julian Nemethy, Steamboat "Armenia" on the Hudson River Oil on canvas, Overall size is24 x 38 inches Julian Nemethy’s Steamboat "Armenia" is a masterful example of American folk art painting, celebrating the rich history of 19th-century Hudson River steamboat travel. This vibrant oil on canvas captures the iconic paddle steamer Armenia in motion, its sidewheel churning through stylized waves beneath a dramatic sky. With meticulous attention to detail, Nemethy evokes the golden age of river commerce, blending historical accuracy with artistic charm. The painting’s composition features hallmark elements of Americana: the steamboat’s ornate structure, billowing smokestacks, and patriotic American flag signal a proud moment in New York’s transportation heritage. Autumnal trees and a distant riverside building anchor the scene in the Hudson Valley, making this work especially resonant for collectors of regional art and maritime history. Nemethy’s folk art style—characterized by flattened perspective, decorative surface treatment, and narrative clarity—echoes the traditions of 19th-century ship portraiture and itinerant painters. His use of bold color and rhythmic patterning enhances the visual storytelling, making Armenia a compelling centerpiece for any collection focused on American riverboats, steamboat paintings...

Transport
Located in Saratoga Springs, NY
Signed lower left. In this richly imaginative painting by Julian Nemethy reimagines the Hudson River day liner not merely as a vessel of transport, but as a dreamscape in motion. The steamboat, rendered with meticulous precision, glides through a river that shimmers magically—beneath a sky alive with imaginative playful clouds Nemethy’s signature style is on full display: whimsical flourishes, exaggerated perspectives, and a near-naïve attention to detail that invites the viewer into a world where nostalgia and fantasy intertwine. The day liner becomes a symbol of freedom and wonder, a floating stage for the American imagination. It’s a celebration of movement, memory, and the enduring romance of the Hudson. Contemporary artist Julian Nemethy is the son of artist Albert Nemethy, and his work can be distinguished from that of his father by the use of fantastical elements, extreme use of color and detail, and whimsical touches. Julian Nemethy is one of the many artists in the Nemethy family. Born in Hungary, his parents fled the Communist regime in the mid-1950s when Julian was a small child. He was one of six siblings who were raised by their father. In high school, Julian taught himself to paint, and felt he had found his vocation. In the 1980s, he moved to the Smokey Mountains of...
