Original Signed Landscape Oil On Canvas by Oscar Anderson

Item Details

An original oil landscape on canvas by well-listed North Shore artist Oscar Anderson (Sweden, American, 1873–1953), titled Evening Vesper. The work depicts a bucolic wooded landscape with sun-washed slope to the foreground, a golden meadow to the midground, and steepled white church with outer buildings set against a wooden mountainside. The work is displayed in a beveled gilt frame and is signed by the artist to the lower right corner.

Both a noted painter and photographer, Oscar Anderson was born in Sweden and moved to the United States where he studied under Charles Noel Flagg. He was instrumental in founding the North Shore Arts Association, the Boston Art Club and the Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts. He and his colleagues memorialized the small, historic waterfront towns of Rockport and Gloucester in paintings that have inspired generations of visitors. With little formal schooling, Anderson developed painting styles that ranged from soft, shimmering tonal works to colorful Impressionistic and realistic styles. This beautiful work is a wonderful example of Anderson’s plein-air style of painting, with its thick energetic brushstrokes and bright natural colors.
