- Lot Description
Property of a Dataw Island, SC Estate
Description:
Charles Henry Gifford (MA, 1839-1904), Sailboat, Oil on Canvas, signed lower right, depicting a racing yacht in a regatta, the yacht flying the American flag and a bugee, with stamp verso from Hertz Art Galleries, Lawrence, NY, in a giltwood frame. Frame size: 22 in. x 31 1/2 in.
Born in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, Charles Henry Gifford was the son of a ship’s carpenter. As a young man he showed no particular interest in becoming an artist, rather he was apprenticed to a boatbuilder and later worked as a shoemaker. It was not until 1864 and after serving in the Civil War that Gifford gave up shoemaking to become an artist. Two years later Gifford married Cordelia Palmer and the couple settled in Fairhaven. By 1868 he established a studio above a shop in New Bedford. Gifford’s is known for his ability as a Luminist painter, which shows his concern for both subtle and dramatic effects of light, stillness, precise realism and softly glowing surfaces. Although Gifford received no formal training, he may have been familiar with local marine artists, Albert Bierstadt, Robert S. Gifford and William Bradford.
