Attributed to the Listed American Artist (1859 - 1948). We recently attended a fine art sale in Chadd's Ford, Pennsylvania where we found a few real gems, this being one of them! Signed along the lower right corner William P. Silva and attributed to the listed American William Posey Silva (1859 - 1948), the artist gives us a naive view of a farm pasture in between two trees with a small mountain along the background.

The two trees that border the canvas along both sides are so dark, they almost appear to be shadows to the bright and colorful landscape that falls behind them. An original oil on board displayed in a wooden frame, the artwork measures approx. 22-3/8" by 28-1/2" with a sight size of 23-5/8" by 17-1/2". We found a few light scratches to the board with visible varnish, and display wear to the frame.

Be sure to scroll through our many photos to capture all the details of this this original American school painting. The perfect addition to your art collection! Keep scrolling there are 20 pictures and.

More description beneath the photos below! Posey Silva (1859 - 1948) as found on Askart: William Posey Silva was active/lived in California, Tennessee. William Silva is known for landscape, marine-mists and street painting. A landscape painter, William Silva was an important art world figure in Tennessee and also in California, where he moved in 1913 and for thirty-five years devoted himself to painting cypresses, eucalypti, dunes, and coasts. He was born in Savannah, Georgia, and studied at Chatham Academy and engineering at the University of Virginia.

He inherited the family chinaware business, which he ran successfully for thirty years until he began painting at age 50. In 1887, he moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee, and there became known as "the finest artist at the turn of the century" (Gerdts Art Across America, V III). He painted in an impressionist style and did many panoramic views of Chattanooga as well as paintings of the pine forests near Savannah. Initially he pursued his chinaware business there, but in 1894, began to take art instruction.

Encouraged by his wife, he retired from his business in 1907 and enrolled at the Academy Julian in Paris as a student of Jean Paul Laurens. He also painted with American artist Chauncey Ryder. Recognition came quickly, and he had his first solo exhibition in 1909 in Paris at the Georges Petit Gallery. He then moved to Washington D.

Where he was active in the Society of Washington Artists until he moved to California in 1913. He built a studio off Carmelita Street in the sand dunes but continued to exhibit with the Southern States Art League and also maintained close ties with his birthplace, Savannah, where in 1917 a solo exhibition was held at the Telfair Academy. He was a member of numerous organizations including the California Art Club and the Salmagundi Club. He died on February 10, 1948. In a 30 x 24 x 5 box.
