Coastal View of a City
by Julius Montalant , American. (1823-1878) Oil on Canvas, signed.
Ptg.: 11" x 18" Born in Virginia, probably Norfolk, Julius Montalant is known for his drawings and paintings inspired by his travels on board navy ships. Attached to the USS St. Louis around 1844-45, he sketched ports of call he visited, including Brazil, Chile, New Zealand, Australia, and China. Many of his works are held in the Museum of the U.S. Naval Academy. Navy records indicate his rank as 'C. Clerk', which may mean that he held a civilian position. During the 1850s he lived in Philadelphia, and in 1851-61 he exhibited at the Philadelphia Art Union and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Included were paintings of North America, Greece, China, France, Italy, and South America. The 'tropical' scenes were apparently based on sketches done on board the USS St. Louis. In 1858 he traveled to Rome, and is recorded to have studied with J.B. Durand-Brager in 1864. He made Rome his base until his death in 1878. Montalant appears to have been a peripatetic artist, for during his decade of exhibition in the United States, he listed his addresses as Philadelphia, Rome, Italy, and Europe. He was a friend of the sculptor E. S. Bartholomew. After painting in southern Italy for several years, he returned to New York City in mid-1859. He exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts from 1851 to 1861. He exhibited two New Hampshire paintings at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1855 – Mount Washington and View from Mount Kearsarge. He exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1861 and 1863.

Lee Lufkin Kaula
Lee Lufkin Kaula Oil on Canvas, signed
Painting:21.50" x 17.50" Born in Erie, Pennsylvaniain 1865 , Lee Kaula became an impressionist painter Lee Lufkin is best known for her portraits and figures and is considered a member of the "Boston School of Impressionism". She had a wealthy family, so she did not have financial worries. She first studied with Charles Melville Dewey in New York and then she and a friend, Claire Shuttleworth, went to Paris in 1894, and Kaula studied with Edmond Aman-Jean at the Academie Colarossi. Charles Gruppe also gave her encouragement. In 1902, she married artist William Jurian Kaula (1871-1953), whom she had met in Crecy, France, and they were the first artists to have studio space in the Fenway Studios in Boston at 30 Ipswich Street. Painting together, they lived in one space and used the other for a studio. They spent summers painting in Bank Village, near New Ipswich, New Hampshire, and became known there for their spectacular flower gardens. She was a member of several Boston art associations including the Copley Society, the Guild of Boston Artists and the Boston Society of Watercolorists. She exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1897 and 1898; the 1901 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York; and the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. From 1897 to 1913, she exhibited 14 times at the Art Institute of Chicago, and in 1928 at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. From 1901 to 1922, she was in five annual exhibitions at the National Academy of Design.
