Max Weyl (American, 1837-1914)
Springtime in Rock Creek NE Oil-on-canvas, signedand dated 1902 lower right and titled and signed on the reverse
Ptg.: 18.5" x 24" Max Weyl was born Dec. 1, 1837, in Germany and immigrated with his family to Williamsport, PA in 1853. At this time and after his arrival in Washington, DC in 1861, Weyl earned his living as an itinerant watch repairman. At the relatively young age of 24, he had saved enough money to open his own jewelry shop at Third Street and Pennsylvania Avenue . He was self-taught as an artist but was encouraged in the field by Washington artist Charles Lanman, who recognized his potential artistic talent. In 1870, Weyl sold his first painting to Samuel H. Kauffman, publisher of the Star . Kauffman became a regular patron of Weyl. By 1878, he had achieved sufficient success to list himself as an artist in the city directory and had devoted himself full-time to his art. A year abroad in 1879-80, visiting and studying in Paris, Vienna, Munich and Venice attached him to the Barbizon style and gave him his nickname of the "American Daubigny". His first exhibition and sale of landscapes was in 1879. Eventually, his landscapes of the Potomac River and Rock Creek Park won him much recognition and acclaim. During the years of 1882-92, he shared a studio with Richard Norris Brooke in Vernon Row at 10th and Pennsylvania, moving to the "Barbizon Studio" building, on 17th and Pennsylvania, from 1892-1903. Weyl had annual exhibitions and sales at V.G. Fischer Galleries. There was a retrospective at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in 1907. Weyl died July 6, 1914, in Washington, DC. Today his work can be seen in such varied locations of the Corcoran Gallery, the Cosmos Club in Washington, the National Trust for Historic Preservation and Virginia Military Academy. Sources:

Macbeth Oil on artist board Provenance: Sycamore Farm, Portsmouth, VA (Estate of Robert Vick and Charles Sibley) Note: Listed in "The National Academy of Design Exhibition Record 1861-1900" page 249, number 482.
Painting Size: 6 ½” x 6 ½” Born in Ireland, Duggan was brought to the United States as a young child, probably around 1810. He was a student at the National Academy of Design from approximately 1842-1849. He was a frequent exhibitor at the National Academy as well as at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art. Duggan was known to have exhibited works at the Academy (1844-51) which were religious and historical in nature although he was admired by his contemporaries as a portraitist in charcoal and crayon - undoubtedly the source of his livelihood. Later works exhibited (1855-56) were portraits only. He also sculpted several medals for distribution by the American Art-Union. In the late 1840’s Duggan was a professor of drawing at the Free Academy of New York (later the City College of New York). Duggan suffered from tuberculosis and retired in 1856 at which time he went to live in London with relatives. In the spring of 1861 he went to Paris for what was intended to be an extended stay but was there only until October when he succumbed to his illness.

(Dutch, 1803-1862)
Landscape with Farmhouse and Sheep Oil on canvas, signed lower left.
Painting Size: 11” x 14” Koekkoek was a student of his father the artist Johannes Hermanus Koekkoek and of Schelfhout Van Os at the Academy of Amsterdam. He married the daughter of the painter J.A. Daiwaille. In 1845 the Dutch king commissioned numerous paintings from Koekkoek. He travelled around Belgium and frequently visited the environs of the Rhine and the Moselle. In 1841 he founded an academy of drawing in Clèves where artists such as Frederick Kruseman, Lodewijk Kliejn and Johann Bernard Klombeck came under his tutelage and gave rise to the school of landscape painting referred to as 'Cleves Romanticism'. He took part in Paris exhibitions and won medals in 1840 and 1845. He was a member of the Academies of Petersburg and of Rotterdam. His paintings reveal his careful study of Dutch 17th century painters and the romantic tradition of the Dutch masters. Perhaps the artist of this painting studied at the Clèves academy as evidenced by his adherence to Koekkooek’s admonition to observe qualities of light and following Koekkoek’s example of painting rural environments with tiny figures.
