George Brenneman (Born in New York, in 1856 ..?) "Man on Horse with Dog"Oil on Board ,Signed Lower Left Period Frame measures 9"x11'Brenneman, George W. Born in New York, in 1856, of German parentage, George W. Brenneman, after instruction in drawing from a private tutor, was entered in the antique school at Munich. Working his way up through the antique and life classes, he became a pupil of Professor Dietz, and after five or six years of constant application to his art, returned to New York, where he now resides.He is a painter of genre, and his most successful works have been cabinet pieces, rich in color and executed with fine delicacy of detail. His earlier exhibited works betrayed his Munich schooling very strongly, but with his return to the United States, he began developing the individuality of style and thought which now distinguishes him. A man of modest personality, thoroughly devoted to his art, he has never figured among our contestants for public honors.His careful and painstaking method of production, restricting as it does the number of his pictures, has rendered them rarities; and their passage from his easel to the collections of our amateurs renders their appearance uncommon in our public exhibitions.Catalogue of the Private Art Collection of Thomas B. Clarke, New York. 1899.
