Wilhelm Raade Original Oil on Board 1966

Beautiful original oil painting by legendary Norwegian artist Wilhelm Magnussen Raade (1897-1986). This one is entitled "Long Lake, Cassiar Mt. B.C." and is dated 1966. Signed lower left. It's been recently reframed, and is housed in a chestnut coloured solid wood frame, with a beveled border. The use of colour, and attention to detail is absolutely gorgeous. The frame is flawless, and is in perfect condition. The painting has a few scuffs/scratches, but shows beautifully on the wall, and the imperfections are not visible unless you're aware of them, and looking hard to see them. I've looked it over extensively, and highlighted any imperfections that I was able to find. (please see pics). Absolutely nothing needs to be done to it. It has a strong, sturdy hanging apparatus, and is ready to be hung and appreciated. It's a fair size, measuring 27 x 38 inches (including frame). Painting itself measures 24 x 35. Wilhelm Raade was born in Norway, moved to Canada, was a working artist for nearly 40 years, and traveled all through B.C. and Alberta, painting the beauty he saw in nature. He also did commissioned pieces, and almost always documented the location of the painting, on the back of the artist board. I've included a picture of the back of the painting, before it was reframed, and the backing paper (dust cover) was put on. The written locating is visible. Near the end of his life, Wilhelm moved to Bragg Creek, and is buried in Queen's Park Cemetery, here in Calgary. His paintings rarely come up for sale. Don't miss your opportunity to own this beautiful, signed original. View or pick up in Glenbrook, SW Calgary. *Reasonable offers considered*
