CATEGORY: antique vintage painting AD: ART CONSIGNMENTS WANTED. CONTACT US SKU#: 117708 US SHIPPING: $139 + insurance. BIOGRAPHY: Landscape painter Harry Leith-Ross was born in Mauritius in 1886, a British possession in the Indian Ocean. He came to America as a seventeen year old. Before beginning, some ten years later in 1914, his studies at the Art Students League Summer School in Woodstock, New York at the relatively late age of twenty-eight, Leith-Ross had worked as a commercial artist. He studied with John F. Carlson and Birge Harrison at the League Summer School, and later with C. Y. Turner at the National Academy of Design in New York City. He then went to Paris, studying with Jean Paul Laurens at the Academie Julien and in England with Stanhope Forbes.Long associated with the Bucks County artists' colony in New Hope, Pennsylvania, Leith-Ross may have first gone there in 1912. It is definitely known that he visited the area in 1916 at the invitation of a student he had met when both attended the Art Students League Summer School in Woodstock, John Fulton Folinsbee. Birge Harrison, his former instructor at the League, whom he met again, was also there in New Hope during the winters from 1914 to 1916. The third and last generation of the New Hope colony would be comprised of artists like Leith-Ross, Folinsbee and Kenneth R. Nunamaker.It is somewhat ironic that Leith-Ross, so long affiliated with the New Hope School of American Impressionism, waited until 1935 to move permanently to that town on the banks of the Delaware River. Other artists in the community included Daniel Garber and the well-known Edward Willis Redfield, whose painterly style, Leith-Ross echoed in his landscapes of the region in the 1920s and 1930s. But, in the 1930s, Leith-Ross' style began to respond to the influences of modernism.Under the influence of Winslow Homer and Leith-Ross' grand-uncle, the well-known marine watercolorist Hendrik Willem Mesdag, 1831-1915, Leith-Ross painted his own realistic watercolors with a spontaneous fluency. As a boy, Leith-Ross had visited Mesdag's studio in Europe.Leith-Ross wrote The Landscape Painter's Manual, published in 1956. He taught painting in New Hope, Rockport and Gloucester, Massachusetts, and at the Art Students League Summer School. He was a visiting artist at the University of Utah, Southern Utah State College, and the University of Buffalo.Harry Leith-Ross was a member of the Allied Art Association, American Federation of Arts, Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts, the Salmagundi Club and National Academy of Design, in New York City, where examples of his work may be seen. He also exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. Leith-Ross died in 1973.

Overall Size: 15 1/2 x 17 3/4 in. Sight Size: 6 x 8 1/4 in. Harry Leith-Ross (1886-1973) was a Scottish-born American painter known for his impressionistic landscapes and his role in the Pennsylvania Impressionist movement. After studying in England and Paris, he immigrated to the United States, where he trained under William Merritt Chase and later settled in New Hope, Pennsylvania, a hub for American Impressionism. His work is marked by luminous color, broken brushwork, and a sensitivity to natural light, often depicting rural scenes, small towns, and countryside vistas. Beyond painting, Leith-Ross was also a respected teacher and author of The Landscape Painter’s Manual (1956), which distilled his artistic philosophy and technique. Today, his paintings remain celebrated for their atmospheric charm and their connection to the broader American plein-air tradition.

Harry Leith-Ross (American, 1886-1973) Sully's Lane Oil on canvas 25 x 30 inches
Est: $30,000 - $50,000
Harry Leith-Ross (American, 1886-1973) Sully's Lane Oil on canvas 25 x 30 inches (63.5 x 76.2 cm) Signed lower left: Leith-Ross Signed and titled on the reverse: Sully's Lane / Leith-Ross PROVENANCE: Private collection, Illinois and Michigan; By descent in the family through two generations to the present owner, Highlands Ranch, Colorado. In Harry Leith-Ross' Sully's Lane, a bright sunny day shows off a fresh snowfall. This lushly-painted oil belongs to that magical period of American art (circa 1900 through the 1930s), when some of the most gifted landscapists tuned their attention to recording what American winters looked like—both in the city and in the countryside—on canvases of ambitious size. Winterscapes became a stunning new subject for American oil painters, offering an opportunity to create imagery with a kind of chromatic and graphic power that quickly captured the attention of critics and collectors alike. Today their efforts have become among the most coveted American landscapes of the early 20th century. Coming immediately to mind are George Bellows' immensely muscular scenes along with Hudson with blankets of thick snow, freezing swaths of shadow and puffs of smoke piercing the frigid air. Childe Hassam's painted lavender snowstorms engulfing New York high rises, his thin flickering brushstrokes evoking blasts of wind carrying swirling flakes into the faces of pedestrians. Rockwell Kent's winter scenes show architectonic slabs of white, yellow and ultramarine ice in frigid places only some solitary American Superman would be brave enough to explore. In the hands of painters such as Aldro Hubbard, William Launt Palmer, William Metcalf, Birge Harrison, and the latter's gifted student Harry Leith-Ross, winter was interpreted with a dazzling lyricism and poetry, and focused on quieter country vistas where creeks cut through snow banks and an iridescent winter light playing on ice became the protagonist of their work. A precise draftsman and superb colorist, Harry Leith-Ross, is best-known today as a member of the Woodstock art colony and a Pennsylvania Impressionists associated with the New Hope School. He exhibited both in New York and Boston, with Doll & Richards, Macbeth Galleries, Feragil Galleries, and Grand Central Art Galleries, and at the North Shore Art Association in Gloucester, where he also taught. He was an inspiring teacher, and wrote a well-regarded practical book on landscape painting derived from his extensive personal experience at the easel as well as from his teaching ( The Landscape Painter's Manual, Watson-Guptill Publications, New York, 1956) . Born on the island of Mauritius in the South Indian Ocean, Harry Leith-Ross was born into a distinguished family with notable political and artistic ties. His Scottish father was a banker with the Oriental bank, and his Dutch mother, daughter of liberal politician Samuel van Houten, was the niece of Hendrik Willem Mesdag, the admired Dutch marine artist who, together with his painter-wife, Sientje Mesdag-van Houten, was responsible for the magnificent Mesdag Panorama at Scheveningen near The Hague. (Additionally, a distant cousin was Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema.) The Mesdags fostered young Leith-Ross' love of art which had a lasting impact on the direction of his life and career. Although he was educated in England and Scotland, and studied engineering at the University of Birmingham for a year, Harry Leith-Ross soon discovered his passions lay elsewhere. At the age of 17 he emigrated to the United States where he worked for a year in his uncle's coal company and then did some advertising work in Denver. In 1909 he began his artistic training in earnest, first training at private academies in Paris and then studying in New York at the National Academy of Design School. However, it was the experience of attending the
