Categories:
Framed oil on canvas. Sight: 23.5”x32.5”. Overall: 26.5x35.5”. Little is known about this very talented artist. AskArt: “Benedikt Franz Hess (1817 - 1870) was active/lived in United States, Switzerland. Benedikt Hess is known for Landscape, genre. My research has uncovered quite a bit about his talent. He is without a doubt one of the best undiscovered artists of the Hudson River School. Perhaps the sleeper of this auction, this View, most likely of Central New York, shows off his talent within the details of the composition. Part of what I discovered is: “A painter of panoramic landscapes in a detailed transcriptive yet broadly painted style, Benedikt Franz Hess was born in Paris and appears to have begun his career in Switzerland, where he studied with the Swiss landscapist Charles Louis Guigon. By 1852 he had immigrated to the United States; in that year he exhibited seven paintings at the American Art Union in New York. While one of the paintings was a view near Geneva, Switzerland, the titles and descriptions of the others indicate that he traveled widely in New York state, painting autumnal scenery in Deposit, New York (near Binghamton), rural countryside in Middleport, New York (near Rochester), the Hudson River north of Newburgh, New York, and the rapids of Niagara, showing the river and the wooded shore. In 1857 Hess exhibited a painting entitled Storm in the Alps at the National Academy of Design. Hess appears to have signed his works B. Hess. Work by Hess may be found in the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Library, Hyde Park, New York.” Here is a link to some of his known works: https://siris-artexhibition.si.edu/ipac20/ipac.jsp?session=15UA1K7514784.9051&menu=search&aspect=Keyword&npp=50&ipp=20&spp=20&profile=aeciall&ri=4&source=%7E%21siaeci&index=.AW&term=B+Hess&x=0&y=0&aspect=Keyword. At least two of his artworks, including a View of Niagara Falls, were reproduced and sold by Currier & Ives, photos of this painting are included. Auction Record: $30,000. (A View of West Point from Garrison Dock). Estimate: $2,000-$5,000.
