His best known works are the lion sculptures in Trafalgar Square. Landseer was born in London, the son of the engraver John Landseer. He was something of a prodigy whose artistic talents were recognized early on. He studied under several artists, including his father, and the history painter Benjamin Robert Haydon, who encouraged the young Landseer to perform dissections in order to fully understand animal musculature and skeletal structure. Landseer's life was entwined with the Royal Academy. At the age of just 13, in 1815, he exhibited works there. He was elected an Associate at the age of 24, and an Academician five years later in 1831. He was knighted in 1850. Edwin Landseer’s brother Thomas was also an artist, and he produced engraving plates of many of his brother’s paintings, like Monarch of the Glen. Because many prints were produced from these plates, Landseer’s works were affordable for middle class audiences.

Cecile Ryden Johnson (American 1916 – 2010, Georgetown, MD) Untitled (mountains and buildings with tower) watercolor on paper, 28 x 20” (framed 36 x 30”) $450.00 Cecile Johnson was an American watercolorist who embraced the “plein air” tradition of artists who painted directly from nature. With her transparent watercolors, action sketches and oils, Johnson gained worldwide recognition for capturing the unique beauty and feeling of natural color, light and shade of locations around the world and as a painter of sports and winter Olympic events. Johnson studied at the American Academy of Art, Chicago; School of the Art Institute; Macalaster College; Augustana College; University of Colorado; University of Wisconsin; Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts; and at Scripps College, Claremont. From the late 1950’s she expanded career internationally, painting throughout Europe, East Africa, Southeast Asia, Japan, South America, the Middle East and the Caribbean. An around the world journey in 1959, she demonstrated her consummate ability to capture the essence of almost any location, resulting in an extraordinary series of paintings of such diverse places as the back country of Kenya and Indonesia and on the streets of Bangkok, Tokyo and Hong Kong. She painted extensively in European Italy, France, Germany and Scandinavia where she captured the essence of some of the world’s great cities. She received a top award in the Catherine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club Exhibition, National Arts Club, New York City, and included in Prize-Winning Watercolors, Book 4. Compiled by Margaret Harold, Allied Publications, 1968. Johnson received commissions from publications and from corporations, beginning with an early commission from Ford Motor Company in the 1950’s for American scenes for covers and feature articles in the Ford Times magazine. Her willingness to paint in unusual circumstances found her breaking many barriers: she was the first woman to be selected by the then all male Salmagundi Club in New York and was commissioned by the U.S. Navy as a combat artist to paint the activities of WAVES, Women Marines and Navy Nurse Corp. Johnson loved the outdoors and sports. Her skill at capturing live sporting events led to commissions to paint on camera for ABC Wide World of Sports, Canadian Broadcasting, the BBC, CNN and other networks. ABC and CBC broadcast her painting in action at five Winter Olympic games, including the men’s and women’s Gold Medal rounds in figure skating as well as the famous Olympic hockey game between the USA and the USSR, and at many world skating championships (Innsbruck, Austria; Sapporo, Japan; Lake Placid, New York; Squaw Valley, California; and Lillehammer, Norway.) Known as “America’s foremost ski artist,” Johnson produced images for the Lake Placid Winter Olympics, and designed the official lapel pin. In anticipation of the 1992 French Winter Olympics, officials from the Savoie area of France came to her studio at Des Artistes in New York to invite her to depict the Winter Games there. In March 1993 she covered World Cup events in Lillehammer, Norway alongside film crews from CBS to paint in advance of the 1994 Olympics.
