1853 "Fishing by the Weir" Edmund Johann Niemann Oil on Canvas Well Listed
$2,900.00 USD
Description
A masterpiece by one of the great nineteenth century English masters of the landscape. This is the most outstanding example of the senior Niemann's work I have seen. Lavishly displayed in a beautiful brightly gilt frame. Few works by this artist are available, as most reside in prominent museums.
Niemann painted both landscapes and marine paintings. Among his favorite subjects were angling scenes along the River Thames near London and the River Swale near Richmond in Yorkshire. He settled in High Wycombe northwest of London and primarily painted en plein air. He exhibited at The Royal Academy, the British Institution and the Society of British Artists and his work today may be found in many British museums such as the Royal Pavilion in Brighton.
His son Edward H. Niemann followed in his footsteps and closely imitated his style.
