Frederick Rondel Art

American, 1826-1892

Frederick Rondel was a well-known and prolific painter of American landscapes, as well as a teacher of numerous artists, both male and female. Rondel worked in New England, especially in the Newport area as well as the Hudson River Valley and as far south as Richmond, Virginia. He was proficient in oil and watercolor painting and specialized in atmospherically-rendered landscape and marine pictures and figurative subjects. Born in Paris in 1826, Rondel began his art career as a student initially under the direction of Théodore Gudin and then, Auguste Jugelet, both romantic marine and landscape painters. In 1855, Rondel arrived in the United States, and began his American art career in Boston, before moving to South Malden, Massachusetts in 1858. He simultaneously maintained a studio in New York City as well. In 1860, Rondel decided to reside permanently in New York City, soon becoming an associate member of the prestigious National Academy of Design. To broaden his training, Rondel traveled to Europe, staying for six years before returning to the United States in 1868 to accept a teaching position at the National Academy. At the National Academy, Rondel’s most famous student was Winslow Homer. Homer attended the National Academy early in his career and took painting classes with Rondel, who is attributed with teaching him how to use oils. French by birth and artistic training, Rondel is considered one of the top American painters. He skillfully combines broad, deep perspective with clear, subtle light and his landscapes and marine paintings reflect the romanticism of Gudin and Jugelet. Most importantly the subjects of his paintings are distinctly American; including portraits, animals, New York City and the New England countryside.

"In Port"
By Edward Willis Redfield
Located in Lambertville, NJ
Jim’s of Lambertville is proud to offer this artwork by: Edward Willis Redfield (1869 - 1965) Edward W. Redfield was born in Bridgeville, Delaware, moving to Philadelphia as a young child. Determined to be an artist from an early age, he studied at the Spring Garden Institute and the Franklin Institute before entering the Pennsylvania Academy from 1887 to 1889, where he studied under Thomas Anshutz, James Kelly, and Thomas Hovenden. Along with his friend and fellow artist, Robert Henri, he traveled abroad in 1889 and studied at the Academie Julian in Paris under William Bouguereau and Tony Robert-Fleury. While in France, Redfield met Elise Deligant, the daughter of an innkeeper, and married in London in 1893. Upon his return to the United States, Redfield and his wife settled in Glenside, Pennsylvania. He remained there until 1898, at which time he moved his family to Center Bridge, a town several miles north of New Hope along the Delaware River. Redfield painted prolifically in the 1890s but it was not until the beginning of the twentieth century that he would develop the bold impressionist style that defined his career. As Redfield’s international reputation spread, many young artists gravitated to New Hope as he was a great inspiration and an iconic role model. Edward Redfield remained in Center Bridge throughout his long life, fathering his six children there. Around 1905 and 1906, Redfield’s style was coming into its own, employing thick vigorous brush strokes tightly woven and layered with a multitude of colors. These large plein-air canvases define the essence of Pennsylvania Impressionism. By 1907, Redfield had perfected his craft and, from this point forward, was creating some of his finest work. Redfield would once again return to France where he painted a small but important body of work between 1907 and 1908. While there, he received an Honorable Mention from the Paris Salon for one of these canvases. In 1910 he was awarded a Gold Medal at the prestigious Buenos Aires Exposition and at the Panama-Pacific Exposition of 1915 in San Francisco, an entire gallery was dedicated for twenty-one of his paintings. Since Redfield painted for Exhibition with the intent to win medals, his best effort often went into his larger paintings. Although he also painted many fine smaller pictures, virtually all of his works were of major award-winning canvas sizes of 38x50 or 50x56 inches. If one were to assign a period of Redfield’s work that was representative of his “best period”, it would have to be from 1907 to 1925. Although he was capable of creating masterpieces though the late 1940s, his style fully matured by 1907 and most work from then through the early twenties was of consistently high quality. In the later 1920s and through the 1930s and 1940s, he was like most other great artists, creating some paintings that were superb examples and others that were of more ordinary quality. Redfield earned an international reputation at a young age, known for accurately recording nature with his canvases and painting virtually all of his work outdoors; Redfield was one of a rare breed. He was regarded as the pioneer of impressionist winter landscape painting in America, having few if any equals. Redfield spent summers in Maine, first at Boothbay Harbor and beginning in the 1920s, on Monhegan Island. There he painted colorful marine and coastal scenes as well as the island’s landscape and fishing shacks. He remained active painting and making Windsor style furniture...
