Frederick J. Sykes American 1851–1926 Oil painting Fort Lafayette at Night

Sykes, Frederick J. (English American 1851–1926) Oil on canvas painting, titled, 'The Narrows and Fort Lafayette at Night'. Signed and dated lower right 'F.J. Sykes 1885'. Described as "a combination of Hudson River School and Magic Realism" in a 1997 New York Times exhibition review, the work of Frederick J. Sykes seemingly defies the traditional stylistic terms used to define paintings of the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Born in England in 1851, Sykes immigrated to the United States and resided in Brooklyn during the 1880s. The artist's residency after this period is difficult to determine; however, his paintings show that he frequented vistas found in the Hudson River Valley during the 1890s. In 1900, he traveled further afield, creating works that recorded the exotic landscapes and jungles of Mexico. (BR) Measurements: Approx. 18" x 34", framed 22.5" x 38.75" Condition: Painting in excellent condition, frame has some signs of display wear, scuffs, chips and darkening to gilt.
