The delicate watercolor artwork of American artist Ranulph Bye is defined by its sense of realism, depicting the natural landscapes and manmade sights around his home in Pennsylvania. Ranulph Bye's paintings belong to the school of art known as Pennsylvania Impressionism, which was one of several regional Impressionist groups to spring up in the U.S. throughout the first half of the 20th century. Favoring the plein-air style, Bye and his fellow artists ventured outside to paint local landmarks, often finishing their work in one sitting.

Ranulph Bye's paintings and prints can be found in private collections across the globe and in the permanent collections of museums ranging from the Smithsonian to Moore College of Art and Design. A resurgence of interest in these local artists has seen their work soar in popularity. Find rare watercolor paintings for sale at Invaluable, whether you're looking for region-specific pieces, paintings from a particular movement, or artwork of a specific subject.
