About the Item
Antique Coastal Seascape - "Bath House Point, Manchester, Mass., by Charles Hopkinson (American: 1869 - 1962), circa 1920, a post-impressionist oil on canvas shore scene of wooded rocky Dana Island point protecting inlet with rocky cliff to the right, choppy seas with white caps and foam wash along shore, not signed or dated but stamped by artist's estate. The view was painted in broad heavy brush strokes, in places approximating palette knife texture.
The painting was catalogued at artist's estate by the Vose Galleries of Boston, and retains three of their labels on the reverse, and a catalogue label documenting that this painting was included in the Vose Galleries 1991-92 Show.
The painting is in excellent condition, and is mounted in a modern carved and gilded gallery frame, likely done for the 1991 show by Leonard Landon Davis III, Conservator of Fine Paintings in Newton, MA (labeled on protective backboard). The painting has no apparent restoration. The frame does have a small chip or two to the gilding.
Charles Hopkinson was a long time resident of Manchester, MA and was one of the most successful and sought after portrait painters in America during the first half of the 20th century. In the course of his 60 year career he created more than 700 portraits including two of United States presidents, four of Supreme Court Justices and 65 of university presidents, deans and professors. He was also part of the team of artists selected by the National Art Committee in 1919 to paint portraits of the delegates to the Versailles Peace Conference.
While primarily known was a portraitist, he also experimented with and enjoyed plein air painting throughout his long and illustrious career. Working outdoors with rapid, broken brushstrokes, his landscapes and seascapes are direct and spontaneous, fresh reactions to the scene around him. While his compositions can seem deceptively simple, each was thoughtfully conceived and executed with careful attention to capturing a sense of depth and perspective. (Paraphrased from biography courtesy of the Cape Ann Museum).
