He studied at Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia and at the Royal Academy of Arts in London. Nesbitt worked in abstraction until Robert Indiana suggested in the early 1960s that he explore realism in his paintings. As subjects for his work he favored studio interiors, articles of clothing, piles of shoes, his Rottweiler, the Neo-Classical facades of 19th century cast iron buildings, and Manhattan's bridges. He was also famous for his enormous paintings and prints of roses, lilies, irises, and other flowers. In 1980, the United States Post Office issued...

This series of cyanotype triptychs showcases the beauty of nature scenes, including stunning beaches and oceans, as well as the intricate textures of water, forests, and skies. These triptychs are large pieces that feature lush blues, making them an impressive addition to any beautifully designed space. Each triptych is printed by hand and carefully crafted to capture the unique essence of these natural environments, with a focus on the interplay of light and shadows, and the subtle nuances of tone and texture. The beach and ocean scenes depict the dynamic beauty of waves crashing against the shore, with the cyanotype process lending a dreamy, ethereal quality to the images. Similarly, the forest and wood scenes offer a glimpse into the hidden depths of nature, with the cyanotype process lending a sense of mystery and wonder to the images, while the lush blues of cyanotypes imitate the sky and clouds perfectly. These triptychs are perfect for anyone who loves to surround themselves with the beauty of nature, and they make an excellent centerpiece for any beautifully designed space.

The cyanotype (a.k.a. sun-print) process is one of the oldest in the history of photography, dating back to the 1840's. Cyanotypes were then made famous by Anna Atkins, considered the first female photographer. Inspired by nature, we feel the need to look back at a craft that is handmade, analogue, and using an all-natural light source: the sun. Our cyanotypes are made by coating high-quality Italian watercolor paper with a light-sensitive emulsion. We then expose it in direct sunlight for several minutes using a photo negative...

The Carnations, Late 19th Century Botanical Watercolour

Located in Cotignac, FR

A late 19th Century botanical watercolour and gouache of carnations growing in a pot by German born artist Kathi (Ketty) Gilsoul-Hoppe. The painting is signed and dated bottom left and presented under glass in gilded wood frame. A charming composition of carnations (dianthus) growing in a terracotta pot, straight from the greenhouse. Hoppe has managed to capture the floral abandon as the flowers reach for the sky and away from the confinement of their pot. Nice use of shade and a subtle colour palette. This type of botanical art was extremely popular with female artists of the late 19th century and Hoppe was one if it's well known exponents. Though born in Dusseldorf, Germany, from 1872 Hoppe spent most of her life and career in Belgium. Her father, was Édouard Hoppe, himself a former student of the Academy of Fine Arts in Düsseldorf and her sister Jenny was also an artist. Kathi learnt her artistic skills thanks to her father, who was also a noted engraver. Her later teachers were Henri Hendrickx, Édouard Tourteau, at the professional school of Brussels, and Jean-François Portaels. She married the Belgian Impressionist artist Victor Gilsoul...
