Thomas Chambers, "USS Constitution in New York Harbor Off Castle Williams with Staten Island in the Distance, 1835"
Est: $20,000 - $40,000
Thomas Chambers (British/ American 1815-AFTER 1866) USS CONSTITUTION IN NEW YORK HARBOR OFF CASTLE WILLIAMS WITH STATEN ISLAND IN THE DISTANCE, 1835 Inscribed verso "U.S. Frigate Constitution in New York Harbor, T. Chambers" Oil on panel 15 x 23 1/2 in. Literature: Foster, Kathleen A., Thomas Chambers: American Marine and Landscape Painter, 1808 - 1869, Yale University Press (2008) Other Notes: The New York City Directories from 1834 to 1841 list Thomas Chambers as a landscape and marine painter. The frigate's figurehead, a life-sized representation of President Andrew Jackson (installed at Boston Navy Yard in spring of 1834 amid a storm of controversy), dates his picture to 1835 when USS Constitution called briefly at New York, in March of that year, en route to Le Havre to bring home our Minister to France. It is probable that Chambers painted Constitution after she returned from France that June, and before she departed at the end of August on a circumnavigation that took three years to complete. The cruise terminated at Norfolk, Virginia. Constitution next called at New York in 1850 the same year that Chambers, now residing in Boston, designated himself a portrait painter in the city directories. Thomas Chambers was "discovered" by New York dealers Norman Hirschl and Albert Duveen who spent six years gathering material for an exhibition in 1942 at Macbeth Gallery entitled 'T. CHAMBERS, America's First Modern'. The critical comments in the catalogue are current today. Thomas Craven (author, art critic, lecturer) enthused "…here is a painter who had control of what may well be called an American idiom, a…combination of an inborn and developed sense of design with a true love of native landscape…he is an artist, and an authentic American Artist." Margaret Bruening (art critic, lecturer) commented that Chambers' "landscapes are distinguished by a directness, a boldness, and a power of simplified statement which may well have been termed modern," and that "the brilliant color patterns of pure lucent hues…and the elimination of non-essentials all contribute to the vitality and vigor of these paintings." Macbeth Gallery, President, R. G. McIntyre encapsulates the artist's timeless appeal "Consciously or otherwise, he certainly was a master of design." U.S.S. Constitution in New York Harbor off Castle Williams with Staten Island in the Distance, contains the desirable qualities in Chambers painting that thrilled the pioneers of American Art nearly 70 years ago. In addition, the painting documents a specific event that the artist witnessed and recorded contemporaneously - a rare occurrence, as Chambers was generally more liberal with his sources. Nina Fletcher Little (The Magazine Antiques, April 1948, p.285) points out that the earliest signed and dated (1835) painting, The Cutting Out of the H.M.S. Hermione, by Thomas Chambers is on panel as is the present example which was executed in the same year.
