Original Roberto Angelo Kittermaster Marshall Oil on Canvas Painting

Item Details

An original oil on canvas painting by well listed artist Roberto Angelo Kittermaster Marshall (1849 – 1926), with original label to the verso. The painting is signed to the lower left hand corner. The label on the verso, although very hard to read, lets us know that this fabulous cityscape was likely painted in London. This painting is far from typical as far as the artist’s oeuvre is concerned. Marshall is most famously known for his landscapes which are punctuated with incredible detail. This cityscape is fairly suggestive as far as the style of rendering is concerned, but beautifully so, with the tops of buildings rising ethereally into light, while the city streets and adjacent buildings are cast in shadow. This painting has a majesty about it, derived from its simple but masterful composition, and suggestive style that seems poised, beautifully aloof. The painting is presented in a discerning gilt wood frame, that’s utterly simple and fits this painting perfectly. The painting was restored and reframed some 50 years ago.

Condition

The painting was restored and reframed some 50 years ago, and shows crackling to surface, but otherwise is in incredible condition. This painting is absolutely incredible.
