Edward H. Niemann, Oil on Canvas Painting - River Landscape with Large Boulders
A large landscape painting by English artist, Edward H. Niemann, the son of famous artist Edmund John Nieman (1800-1876). Edward continued in his father’s footsteps as an artist painting large and small landscape paintings depicting the English countryside. He often painted with perspective showing a road or river meandering diagonally through the landscape, and he often painted large boulders or rocks in his works. In this work, the artist used a rich impasto or layers of thick paint to depict the boulders, providing a true texture to the work.
The painting measures 30” x 50” and with the gilt frame overall measures 36” x 56”. There is some in-painting throughout the sky, but the majority of the river and rock landscape does not show any in-painting under UV light. The date below the artist signature appears to possibly have been altered in the third digit, which seems to read 1889. It is possible that someone thought the painting to be by the artist’s father, who passed in 1876, and adjusted the date to fit his lifetime, but now appears to show 1889, which would fit the timeline of the son. The frame has had some small pieces re-cast and re-painted to match the frame, but presents well overall.
