    Apr. 17, 2021

    William Steene (American/Mississippi, 1887-1965)

    Est: $1,200 - $1,800

    William Steene (American/Mississippi, 1887-1965) , "Old Fort Bayou, MS", oil on masonite, signed lower right, 18 in. x 24 in., framed. Note: Nationally known portraitist of over four hundred prominent Americans and muralist, William Steene likely first visited the Mississippi Gulf Coast in April of 1931, when he was a guest at the Buena Vista Hotel in Biloxi. He completed portraits of several Mississippi notables and was drawn to the southern landscape. From 1950 until his death in 1965, Steene maintained a home and studio in Gulf Hills, Mississippi, just north of Ocean Springs. From this studio, Steene created one of his most well-known works – a mural depicting the 1953 Louisiana Sesquicentennial Celebration of the 1803 Louisiana Purchase. The fifty-foot-long and ten-foot-high triptych mural took a year to complete and was unveiled by President Eisenhower at the Presbytère of the Louisiana State Museum in New Orleans. Steene reputedly painted the 1948 serene landscape offered here on site at Old Fort Bayou, a picturesque waterway near his future Mississippi home and studio. With the radiant sunlight breaking through the clouds, Steene creates an idyllic picture highlighting the natural beauty of the Gulf Coast.
