Item History & Price
Charles Franklin Chamberlain (1871-1947)Born in Webster Township, Michigan, Chamberlain initially began his art studies at the Detroit Academy, and in 1892 he went off to study at the Art Students League in New York. His first trip to France was in 1894, where he studied a the Academy Julian under Tony Robert-Fleury and Jules Lefebvre, and also at the Aman-Jean School. He later studied in France under Luc Olivier Merson and Raphael Collins. By 1907 he had return...ed home and married soon after. For many years he maintained a studio at the family home in Dexter, Michigan. There, the family farm, besides an abundance of livestock and acres of grain, included an apple orchard, working oxen and horses, a plethora of sheep, and many cows, ducks and chicks. Many of these animals and much of the landscape came to be featured in his artwork. In addition, the artist was an avid photographer.
Chamberlain is known to have exhibited as early as 1903 with the Society of Western Artists, and also at art shows in Detroit and Chicago.2x oil painting/sketch on canvas. Overall size is about 9 1/4" x 11." 1. Landscape would trim to about 5 1/2" x 9 1/4." See condition description and picture! 2. 9 1/4" x 5." See condition description. Note that these items have all been stored in not the greatest of conditions for many years. Almost none of them are on stretchers. Most were in trunks and cardboard boxes. This latest batch was actually found in an attic over a covered porch. Will eventually offer about 50-60 of these at auction. Please ask any questions. They all are in terrible shape and in desperate need of restoration. I believe that these could be very nice works, if restored. Estate stamp on reverse. Willing to combine items for shipment. Please let me know on this. Also, do not hesitate to remind me.
