Frederick Wilhelm Jankowski [also known as Johann Wilhelm Jankowski] (Austrian, circa 1825-1870), "A River Town," oil on canvas. Signed 'JWJankowski' at lower left. Plaque recto: 'Frederick Wilhelm Jankowski, A River Town, 1825-1870.' [Approximate dimensions - sight: 20 1/4" H x 16 1/4" W]. A river flowing past buildings with a few gondola type boats in the foreground. Jankowski was a noted prolific landscape and cityscape painter. Art historians often find his biography elusive, and it is widely believed he used variations of his name—signing works as Friedr. Wilh. Jankowski, F.W. Jankowsky, or J. Wilhelm Jankowsky—while operating primarily out of Vienna.
