Description: This stunning piece by the Illinois artist John Olson Hammerstad (1842-1925) is an oil painting on canvas laid on board. The setting sun in this piece is a beautiful orange hue with emerald green and blue reflections in the water. His use of colors is masterful- as is the piece. It measures 20" x 22" and is in a beautiful ornate gilded frame aprox 25" x 27". It has been professionally cleaned and had a small spot of restoration. There is a very small area of damage to frame. (see pics) Info on the artist from the internet Born at Christiansund, Norway, on April 19, 1842, his parents were Ole and Magdalena (Schei) Hammerstad. Ole Hammerstad was a sailor. John Hammerstad was apprenticed to a painter and decorator in Norway and in his late twenties studied at the drawing school of Johan Fredrick Eckersberg (1822-1870), who was a representative of the late Romantic Dusseldorf school of painting. In 1869 at 26 Hammerstad emigrated to the U.S.and settled in Chicago, Illinois. Primarily a landscape painter, his works stand out through their realism and use of color, with many of them sold to Chicagoans for their grand Victorian homes."
