Ivan Fedorovich Choultse (Russian, French, 1874-1939) oil painting on board depicting a night seascape. Signed lower right. Framed. Provenance: Livingston Auction Inc, Edison, NJ, United States, May 01, 2021, lot 14. The paper label shows detailed information on the back. Ivan Choultse is known for Light-filled paintings, landscape and winter scenes. He was designated as the magician of light in America, and whose clients were the family of Carl Faberge and the Royal family of the Romanovs in the pre-revolutionary Russia. Master of complex light effects, glare and reflections, Choultse was creating incredible landscapes throughout his life, as if depicting not our real world, but some phantasmagoria. The artist has often portrayed sea views as he was fascinated by the play of sunlight and moonlight on the water. One of a kind artwork.
