Image of Leitner Marine Painting

Heinrich Leitner (German, 1842-1913) - Marine Painting with a Brig in the North Sea at evening light 1872 – in the background two three-masted sailing ships in combat and some other vessels in the background – Oil on canvas – 16 3/4 by 30 1/2 inch (42,5 x 77,5 cm) – signed lower left: "H. Leitner" and dated 1872 – good condition, in a 19th Century bird`s eye frame - Private Collection, New Jersey, USA

Note: This painting with the romantic atmosphere is a typical and well executed work from his Oeuvre with interesting sunset light effects on the water and on the starboard side of the Brig. It is possible that it shows an incident from the Danish-Prussian War in 1864, when the Danish forces fighted in the Northern Sea against the Prussian-Austrian fleet.

Note: An early and very well done work by the famous French ship portrait artist with a romantic early evening impression. Paintings with a quality like this one were the reason why Adam Senior has been elected as official marine painter for the French government and why he is represented in the Musee de la Marine in Paris with a permanent exhibition.
