Notes:

Letter attached to the verso of the painting reads:

“This untitled landscape was painted by Marvin Cone in the summer of 1945 at the rural summer retreat of Coleen and Horace Hedges, located west of Cedar Rapids, just north of what was then known as the ‘Old Palo Road.’ He had visited the Hedges the evening before he started the painting and admired the gentle Iowa countryside surrounding it. When it was finished, he gave the painting to his life-long friend, Horace ‘Cap’ Hedges. The painting hung in the Hedges’ home until 1963 when, upon their deaths, it was given to their son, Sam H. Hedges, who displayed it in his home in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. When Sam Hedges died in 1986, he bequeathed the painting to his grand-nephew and namesake Sam Hedges Richardson to be presented to young Sam on his 10th birthday, July 28, 1987…”

24 Frederick William MacMonnies (American, 1863-1937) Nathan Hale bronze inscribed and dated 1890 Height 28 1/4 inches. Property from the collection of Harry Lewis Diehl Thence by descent through the family.

Notes:

William MacMonnies is one of the most revered American artists of the Beaux-Arts School in France. An expatriate for most of his adult career, MacMonnies was born in 1863 to Scottish immigrants in Brooklyn, New York. His talent and skill for sculpting was evident at an early age and by the time the artist was 18, he was an apprentice in the studio of Augustus Saint-Gaudens and studying at the Art Students League and the National Academy of Design. Influenced by Saint-Gaudens’ Beaux-Arts ideals and practice, MacMonnies left New York for the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. While in France, he began to experiment with Renaissance inspired figural sculptures and studied under Jean Alexandre Falquiere. Lot 24, Nathan Hale, is a smaller scale reproduction of the artist’s epic statue of the executed Revolutionary hero. Created when MacMonnies was only 26, this was the first commissioned work for the young artist. The original Nathan Hale still stands in New York City’s City Hall Park, and similar reproductions exist in the collections of major institutions, such as the The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
