Frederick James Boston Antique American Impressionist Landscape
Est: -
Boston, who was from the New York / Connecticut area, was born in 1855 and passed in 1932. He was the first instructor of art at the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, and he became founder and served as president of the Painters and Sculptors Club at the institute. During his career he traveled the Eastern U.S. extensively and was a prolific artist known mostly for his excellent landscape paintings executed with a beautiful Impressionist color palette, like this example being offered. He has extensive auction records with recorded sales for some of his paintings achieving in excess of $20,000.00. This fine oil on canvas (recently professionally cleaned) depicts a country landscape with a farm in the distance and is housed in a golden hand-incised decorated wooden frame.
