Charles T. Phelan "Grazing Sheep" Oil on Canvas. Approximately 13" x 17" Charles T. Phelan was born in New York in 1840. Landscape painter and pupil of Frederick Rondel (1826-1892) who was best remembered as the teacher of Winslow Homer.His almost impressionistic style mixed with the luministic approach captured the spontaneity of the moment, like a storm moving toward the front of his canvas. He seems to have been at the cutting edge of what would be called the Modern Movement.Listed: The New York Historical Society, Dictionary of Artist in AmericaCyclopedia of Painters and Paintings, vol.
