Very interesting painting. Is there any name or details of the location on the back? Where do you think the view is located?

If you play around with the contrast a bit you can make the signature a bit clearer. There seems to be a reversed "N" and the penultimate letter looks a bit like the Cyrillic "B", so we could be dealing with a Russian painting.

Not sure if this will help but the other paintings in the collection have a California/West Coast connection. There are five paintings in all and the other artists are Jules Pajes, Henry Raschen and Nels Hagerup. The painting I posted is much larger than the others.

This painting is by the hand of the russian artist Vassili Yakovlevitch Beringer 1875-1942.

The signature doesn't seem to match. What makes you think this. If your goal was to get me to join artnet, it worked. I joined for 24 hours. Congrats to you!!!! |

Saintmarc is one of the most knowledgeable people here. I don't speak Russian so I can't be of much help, and your painting is only signed with a first initial anyways, but I wouldn't bet against him.

Holy Crap!! Where is that scratching my head icon? No goal that I see...no thanks either.
 Edit: Meant to add... The signature looks like a match to me. Last edited by Eirene : October 20th, 2010 at 03:07 AM. |

Well it is not very difficult to say what makes me think so :
Firstly it is signed in cyrillic "V. Beringer", that's an undisputable fact and we can't change it. Truly, there are two more letters at the end, maybe OD (cyrillic), could be for Odessa since Beringer was born in a village we could spell Alexandergilf, near Odessa and was pupil of the Artschool of this town. Secondly this seashore is not of such California west coast nor any west coast in the world. It is not so far from Odessa (at the Black Sea scale) on the south east coast of Crimea, near the town of Alusta -or Alushta-, as shown and recognizable in a painting called "the coast -Alushta" by Serguei Vassilievitch MALIOTIN (1859-1937) from the Tretyakoff Gallery in Moscow Now, sure that this signature of a 26 years old artist is different from his later signature. Let's have a look to the change between a1897 and 1927 signature of a Picasso and thousands of painters. |
