Original Signed Frank Girardin Oil on Canvas Bridalveil Fall
Frank Girardin was born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1856. He studied art in Cincinnati under Frank Noble and later with Frank Duveneck at the Cincinnati Art Academy. Girardin was known primarily for his landscapes and unique use of color. He spent the first part of his career in Richmond, Indiana between 1880 and 1910, and was the director of the Richmond Art Association. Eventually Girardin moved to California, living in Los Angeles first, and then settling in Redondo Beach in 1920. He died in Redondo Beach in 1945. Some of his paintings are exhibited in the San Diego Art Museum, Richmond Art Museum & many others. This is a lovely Oil on Canvas by Frank Girardin. The scene reflects Bridalveil Fall which is one of the most prominent waterfalls in the Yosemite Valley in California. Ahwahneechee tribe believed that Bridalveil Fall was home to a vengeful spirit named Pohono which guarded the entrance to the valley, and that those leaving the valley must not look directly into the waterfall lest they be cursed. They also believed that inhaling the mist of Bridalveil Fall would improve one’s chances of marriage. Frame: 23 1/2″ x 19 1/2″. Canvas: 20″ x 16″ 4lbs before packaging.
