A Wreck of a Painting of A Wreck
This large canvas is signed by one Addie Diefenbach in the lower and has a partially visible date in the 1880s.
It is one of several marine paintings that complement the nautical decor at a newly reopened and redecorated restaurant in the seaside community of Long Beach, Washington.
I'd say whoever selected them prioritized genre and availability over quality.
The only online reference to an artist named Addie Diefenbach I was able to find was the auction listing for this very piece. It said it was the first of Ms. Diefenbach's works to come up for auction. www.mutualart.com/Artist/Addie-Diefenbach/B25C1C959DD2ADA9
Some time between when the painting was photographed for the auction catalogue and when I saw it hanging on the wall of the restaurant earlier this week several holes, two of which were fairly large, were punched into the canvas. I healed them with Photo Shop.
