RUSSIAN OIL PAINTING BY CONSTANTIN WESTCHILOFF
Constantin Alexandrovitch Westchiloff, Russian, American, 1877 to 1945, oil painting on canvas depicting a seascape. Signed lower right. Framed. Constantin Westchiloff is known for Landscape, seascape, figure, and genre painting. Constantin Alexandrovitch Westchiloff is an American Russian artist. He was born in Russia in 1877, and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg; as an artist, he traveled extensively in Europe and in the USA. He finally settled in New England. He is probably best known for seascapes, particularly of the New England coastline, but was also well regarded for his landscapes, portraits and figures, and genre subjects. His work, especially after his travels in Europe and then in America, is closest to Impressionist in style. His favored medium was oil, which was well suited to his confident and strong technique. This in turn imbued his paintings of the rugged landscapes and seascapes of New England with the drama typical of this area. One of a kind of artwork.
