Antique JOHN SEMON (1852-1917) Original Oil on Canvas

Original oil on canvas painting by American artist John Semon (1852-1917) depicts a stream along a wooded area, two small figures traversing its banks. A painter based in Cleveland, Ohio, Semon’s work is largely associated with the 19th-century “Old Bohemian” movement that was common amongst local artists at the time. Influenced by the French Barbizon School, Semon specialized in atmospheric woodland interiors and later became teacher to a young Marsden Hartley (1877-1943). Framed in ornate gold, this original painting is unsigned by the artist, but denoted as being a work of Semon’s via writing on the reverse side of the canvas.
