No, the old frame is long gone, it's been in this frame since I can remember and I'm in my 50's...I think I may take it out of the frame and go over it better to search for a signature....

Thanks for the input...it sure does look like the same castle and lake...have always been wondering about the location...it's hanging in the living room where it will stay...I guess I should have taken the $2500.00 I was offered for it, but never intended it to be sold, I won't have to bother to insure it based on the value...thanks again   DT

I have another painting handed down from my grandmother, age is unknown but I know it's at least 65 years old and had been reframed in the early 60's I believe...I love the painting but don't know anything about it. It appears to my eye to be unsigned and nothing on the back..was wondering if anyone recognized the setting or it's origin..I know nothing about art but I believe it is oil on board..the dimensions are 40"x12". The pics aren't the best, with the glare, but it has a glass cover and didn't want to remove it. Any info would be appreciated...Thank s  DT

Thanks for all of the input/info on the painting...I'm still plugging away trying to find a copy of the signature...very interesting about the paper on the back...anyone know of an expert in this field in the Las Vegas area? Thanks again for all of your help....DT

Antique Questions Forum / Info on oil painting??

« on: May 22, 2009, 01:24:27 pm »

I have this oil painting that was handed down from my grandmother about 50 years ago, titled Christ at Gethsemene on the paper on the back of the frame..signed H. Clementz at the bottom right hand corner...I've been looking for quite some time to try and find who the artist is...the only thing I've found is German artist Hermann Clementz(1852-1930), but can't find a copy of his signature to verify...figures in the painting look similar to what I've seen of his on some posters but I'm not sure...hopefully the pics will help..any info on who the artist could be and if there is any value to this painting would be greatly appreciated....than ks   DT
