BIOGRAPHY: Little is known about the life of French artist Victor de Grailly, famous for his Hudson River School-style landscapes of the United States. Born in France in 1804, he studied with neo-classical painter Jean Victor Bertin, who also mentored the great Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot.Surprisingly, it is unlikely that de Grailly ever traveled to America. Instead, he drew inspiration from the 1840 London publication American Scenery, which contained detailed descriptions of important landmarks and tourist destinations in America accompanied by engravings after the artist William Henry Bartlett.While many painters capitalized on the popular views in American Scenery, de Grailly was especially successful, evidenced by the number of his scenes in American collections. As stated by Catherine H. Campbell, "Though there is no reason to think that de Grailly ever left his native country, such a number of the American views after Bartlett are in this country, often several representations of the same scene, that one wonders whether there was an outlet for his work in the United States." While his more academic, Romantic paintings were exhibited at the Paris Salons, he employed a workshop of artists to help him produce his commercially popular landscapes, many of which he produced in multiples. De Grailly has been said to have two careers: one as a Salon artist, and one as a businessman focused on the popular market. His Hudson River School work was exhibited in various locations throughout the United States between 1845 and 1858, such as Baltimore, Charleston, and New York.Few of his works are signed, but confident attributions can be made based on his trademark style and technique. He typically utilized strong colors and depicted bright, clear skies with voluminous clouds. He is also recognized for a strong use of highlights, especially on clothing and trees, and a stippling technique to portray light on foliage.

Victor de Grailly (French, 1804 - 1889)
Est: $3,000 - $5,000
"Hudson River - The View Near Anthony's Nose (Hudson Highlands)".' Oil on canvas. 21 1/2 x 29"; 27 1/2 x 35" (framed). It has never been confirmed that de Grailly visited America. What is known is that he worked mainly by adapting engravings of American landscapes into paintings; these paintings were sought after and exhibited at the Paris Salon. In this variant of the painting a single bird appears in the upper left and the sun light illuminates the Hudson Highlands. Provenance: Gertrude Grace Sill (1920–2020) was an American art historian, curator, professor, and author of "John Haberle Master of Illusion," among other art historical publications.
