Gilbert Munger, Mount Tamalpais with a View of San Francisco Bay, ca. 1870
Est: $40,000 - $60,000
Gilbert Davis Munger (1837 - 1903) Mount Tamalpais with a View of San Francisco Bay, CA (A Glimpse of the Pacific), ca. 1870 oil on canvas A second-generation Hudson River School painter, Gilbert Munger grew up in Madison, Connecticut. When he was thirteen, his parents apprenticed him to the engraver William H. Dougal, who worked for the Smithsonian. Munger moved to Washington, DC, in 1850 and remained with Dougal for ten years, mastering the art of engraving and producing plates for publication in government reports. In Washington, Munger encountered a number of painters of the Old West including John Mix Stanley, with whom he became friendly. Inspired by their careers, Munger began to study painting independently in his free time and was soon intent on pursuing a career as an artist. The Civil War delayed his plans: Munger was employed by the Union Army in Washington where he worked on the city's defenses. In 1866, however, he moved to New York City, established a studio in Manhattan, and began to exhibit at the National Academy of Design that year. Still fascinated by the west, Munger finally traveled there in 1869. He joined Clarence King's Geological Exploration of the 40th Parallel and visited the Uinta and Wasatch Mountains in Utah and the Cascades in Northern California, Oregon, and Washington. He returned west in 1872 and 1873, visiting Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, and Wyoming, and again in the summer of 1875. Although now traveling independently, Munger was still producing drawings and paintings for King on the promise of having a number of his works reproduced as chromolithographs in Systematic Geology, which was eventually published in 1878 with ten of Munger's studies. During these years, Munger established San Francisco his home base where, along with Albert Bierstadt and Thomas Hill, he quickly became one of the premier California artists. Munger spent much of the second half of his career abroad. He moved to London in 1877, bringing his western sketchbooks with him. These sketches served as the bases for numerous American scenes created for his new European market and sold with great success. In 1886, Munger moved again, this time to Paris. His time in France had a significant influence on his style as his realistic Hudson River School landscapes gave way to softer, brushier compositions in line with the Barbizon School. These paintings were well received and Munger was widely recognized for his efforts. He was honored with numerous awards, including the Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, and his works were avidly collected by institutions including the Royal Academy and the Luxembourg Gallery. Munger returned to the United States in 1893 but was unable to transfer his European success back to the United States. He settled again in Washington, DC, where he continued to paint, but he died in relative obscurity in 1903. Munger completed the present painting around 1870 during his years spent in San Francisco. It has been suggested that the scene depicts a view from the top of Mt. Tamalpais, a prominent peak in Marin County just north of San Francisco. It is undoubtedly a view north along the Pacific coast taken the San Francisco Bay area. A letter of authenticity from Alfred C. Harrison Jr. accompanies this work.

Focusing in his early career on paintings of the American West, the self-taught Gilbert Munger arrived in London in 1877. Accepted into London's artistic circles, he was befriended by the British painter John Everett Millais, and quickly rose to prominence. In Memoir: Gilbert Munger: Landscape Artist, 1836[sic] - 1903, James Cresap Sprigg states that Munger also struck up an acquaintance with John Ruskin, who suggested that he paint in Venice. [Written anonymously by James Cresap Sprigg, New York, The De Vinne Press, 1904] The artist visited Venice in 1882, painting there for three months and completing fifty pictures. He continued to paint Venetian scenes for many years, most likely from sketches, since he is not known to have returned there. The present work, painted after Munger's return from Europe in 1892, is one of these. Depicting the Grand Canal and the Doge's Palace, as well as Santa Maria della Salute just past sunset, it captures the romance and beauty of the city in a manner similar to the Venetian paintings of Joseph Mallord William Turner and Thomas Moran.
