William Luker Snr, British, (1828-1905). Featuring an rider on camelback. This oil has a very nice luminous quality
Luker made trips to Egypt and Libya producing a series of Oriental scenes in the early 1860’s, which tend to be his most popular subject matter and bring the most on the auction market. His works show a great attention to detail and his use of a lighter palette gives his subjects a luminous quality that instantly attracts the viewer. Examples of his paintings are held by the Atkinson Art Gallery, National Library of Wales, Newstead Abbey, Nottingham City Museum, Russell-Cotes Art Gallery, Sheffield Museum, Somerset Heritage Centre, William Morris Gallery and Wolverhampton Art Gallery.

"Twilight in the Hills" Luminous Autumnal Painting by William Louis Sonntag
By William Louis Sonntag Sr. 1
Located in Wiscasset, ME
A luminous Autumn oil on canvas board landscape, probably of the hills in the Hudson River Valley, by the noted American artist William Louis Sonntag (1822-1900). Signed in the lower right.
Sonntag was born near Pittsburgh, PA and moved to Cincinnati, OH in the 1840’s to study art. He studied for a brief time with G. Frankenstein at the Cincinnati Academy of Fine Art and his idealized paintings of American wilderness and visionary paintings of imagined European ruins were commercially successful. He traveled twice to Europe in the 1850’s to improve his skills, eventually settling in New York City. He joined the National Academy of Design, where he exhibited his works for forty years. His mature works identify him with the Hudson River School of landscape painters. A romantic and naturalistic painter of his surroundings, Sonntag also created idealized paintings of Roman ruins, recalling his European trips of earlier years. Sonntag was an Associate (1860) and Academician (1861) at the National Academy of Design, and a member of the American Watercolor Society, Artists Fund Society, and the American Art Union...
