About the Item
A remarkably painted and vividly colored depiction of Three Lady Amherst’s pheasants perched gracefully on a branch, created by the esteemed painter Julius Moessel.
Julius Moessel was born on October 10, 1872, in Fürth, Germany. He commenced his formal artistic training in Nürnberg and subsequently advanced his studies at the Munich Art Academy under the tutelage of the landscape painter Richard von Seitz.
After emigrating to the United States in 1926, he established his residence in Chicago in 1929 and continued a prolific career as a painter, muralist, and architect. Moessel emerged as a prominent and influential figure within the Chicago art scene from the late 1920s through the 1950s. He garnered recognition for his decorative paintings of exotic birds and tropical animals, as well as for his imaginative surreal figural works.
Several of his more whimsical pieces were featured on the covers of The Saturday Evening Post. Moessel continued to paint and exhibit at least as late as 1956 and passed away in 1957 at the age of 85. His work is housed in the permanent collections of major art museums in both Germany and the United States.
Among his notable mural commissions are works at The Field Museum in Chicago, the Court Theater in Stuttgart, and the City Hall in Leipzig.
Oil on canvas.
