JAMES EDWARD BUTTERSWORTH (NEW
JAMES EDWARD BUTTERSWORTH (NEW JERSEY/NEW YORK/UNITED KINGDOM, 1817-1894), "YACHTS ROUNDING SANDY HOOK LIGHTSHIP NEW YORK BAY", CIRCA 1875., OIL ON BOARD, 11.5" X 15.75". FRAMED 16" X 20".JAMES EDWARD BUTTERSWORTH, New Jersey/New York/United Kingdom, 1817-1894, "Yachts Rounding Sandy Hook Lightship New York Bay", circa 1875. Signed lower right "J E Buttersworth". Original paper label "Prepared Mill - Board Winsor & Newton ... London" on back of board; this label appears on many Buttersworth paintings on board. Kennedy Galleries label and title plaque also affixed verso. Dimensions: Oil on board, 11.5" x 15.75". Framed 16" x 20". Provenance: Kennedy Galleries, New York. The gallery, established in 1874, was active in selling J.E. Buttersworth artwork until 2005.References:A similar Buttersworth painting, "Yacht America off Castle William", is illustrated in Flying The Colors: The Unseen Treasures of Nineteenth-Century American Marine Art, by Janice Hyland and Alan Granby (Mystic, Ct.: Mystic Seaport Museum, 2009), p. 205. Both this painting and the illustrated example are on board, have the same dimensions, and have a similar treatment to the sky and reflections in the water. It is surmised both paintings were done in the same time period.Notes:This is a fine example of a J.E. Buttersworth yachting scene and includes many of the elements that define the artist's work and demonstrate his ability to create a strong sense of atmosphere and action. The race takes place at sunset, and the rolling whitecap seas and the lack of topsails on the four yachts indicate a brisk breeze. The sky, dotted with wispy clouds illuminated by the last rays of sunlight, has a wonderful luminescent quality and a subtle gradation of color. The black-hulled schooner in the foreground has a golden eagle figurehead, the Sandy Hook Lightship is flying an American flag off her stern, and all four yachts are flying colorful private signal flags from the peaks of their rear masts. As common in Buttersworth's work, the vessels are reflected in the water, most noticeable here in the foreground yacht, the left-most yacht and the lightship.
