THOMAS CHAMBERS (1808-1869) LIVED/ACTIVE: NEW YORK/NEW ENGLAND

Creator: Thomas Chambers
Offered by: Jeffrey Tillou Antiques

Description
Landscape View of a River and Tower Ruins
Ca. 1850-1860
Oil on canvas
23 3/4? x 29 1/2? framed
Condition: Excellent, original stretcher, with minor in-painting along edges.
Chambers worked primarily in New York, Boston, and later Albany. Chambers’ work is distinguished by its fanciful manner, use of bold colors and shadowing effects. The construction of the stretchers and the stingy application of the canvas to the stretchers also serve as his signatures. This virtually untouched example exemplifies all of these characteristics.
