JAMES FAIRMAN (BRITISH/AMERICAN, 1826-1904) NAUTICAL SCENE, oil on canvas, of impressive size, a dramatic depiction of a barque and a paddlewheeler in rough seas with the Cliffs of Dover and billowing clouds in the background, signed lower right. Housed in a modern frame. Circa 1855. 31 1/2" x 44 1/2" sight, 39" x 52" OA.
Catalogue Note: Born in Glasgow, Scotland, James Fairman (1826-1904) immigrated at the age of six with his widowed mother to the U.S. He is known to have studied at the National Academy of Design in 1842 and to have exhibited in 1844 at the American Institute. Almost nothing is known of Fairman's life for the next twenty years until he resurfaces as a Union Colonel in the American Civil War, during which he was wounded. At the conclusion of the war, he set up a studio in New York City until 1871 when he left for Europe to study and paint. After a nine-year stint on the Continent, Fairman returned to New York where he established another studio. He also became a noted critic and lecturer in his later years and taught briefly at Olivet College in Michigan before returning once again to New York. Emblematic of an artist known for his luminist compositions, the present example clearly demonstrates the artist's interest in the atmospheric interplay of light and landscape.
Good overall condition with minor to moderate discoloration. Lined with minor to moderate scattered inpainting. Frame with minor wear.
From the estate of Doris M. Bowman of the city of Alexandria, VA. Ms. Bowman was a textile curator at the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of American History, Washington, DC.
