Nothing softens a bedroom like a painted surface. Firelight by Frank Weston Benson arrives as a hand painted oil painting on canvas, offering the fine art detail, soft gradients, and tactile finish that fine art oil painting shoppers look for.
1893
Oil on canvas
40 x 30 inches
At the end of the 1880s, Frank Weston Benson began painting several firelight paintings, creating elegant depictions of young women lit by a warm glowing fire, and often using his two sisters as models. In this work, which marks the latest of Benson’s firelight scenes, light pours across the face and hand of the figure, modelled after the artist’s sister, Georgianna. Firelight was awarded the James W. Ellsworth Prize at the Art Institute of Chicago exhibition of 1894 as well as the Cleveland Art Club Prize in 1895. A pamphlet published alongside the 1894 exhibition lauded Benson’s Firelight, describing, “It is masterly. I don’t know of anything finer in the way of firelight. See the simplicity of his method. That hand and arm is painted with three broad strokes of the brush, but it takes genius to do that.” The artist would continue studying the effects of light for years to come.
Every hand painted oil painting in this fine art series is finished on artist-grade canvas and checked against the original before it leaves the studio.
Each canvas is painted entirely by hand with professional oil paints on artist-grade cotton canvas. No printing, giclée, or digital imaging is used at any stage, so the surface keeps the slight relief and color variation of real brushwork.
This fine art oil painting wall decor is equally at home in a residence, a boutique hotel, or a professional office. Its elegant character makes it a safe, distinctive gift for anyone furnishing a bedroom.
Order Firelight as a hand painted oil painting on canvas and add lasting elegant character to your bedroom. Custom sizes, a digital proof before dispatch, and secure worldwide shipping are included.
