Les paysages lumineux de John Hammond Vente d'importants tableaux

Unique for the variety of his landscapes and dramatic lighting effects, John Hammond was also among the finest artists of his generation.   His oeuvre navigates various styles, from Barbizon and the Hague School to impressionism, occasionally imbued with a Turneresque romance.  We were extremely enthusiastic when John Hammond’s descendents, familiar with our expertise in the market for 19th and early 20th century Canadian paintings, approached us to inquire about their fabulous selection of the great artist's work, in addition to a sumptuous portrait of Hammond by Robert Harris.   It has been some time since a selection of John Hammond paintings of this quality and quantity have been offered for sale, and we are grateful for the confidence of the Estate.  With this exhibition and sale, we provide a new generation of collectors with a fresh look at this exceptional painter, and the opportunity to purchase important examples of his work.  We also highlight the outstanding research by Dr. Jocelyn Anderson, whose outstanding publication for the Art Canada Institute on Hammond's colleague, William Brymner, inspired this collaboration.
