Original Description
Charles P. Appel’s Sunset At Close Of Day is an evocative landscape painting that captures the tranquil yet vibrant essence of dusk. The artwork masterfully blends soft, warm hues of orange and gold with deepening blues and purples, creating a striking contrast between the fading daylight and the approaching night. Likely created in the late 19th or early 20th century, Appel’s work reflects the romanticized naturalism of the Hudson River School’s later followers, emphasizing atmospheric effects and emotional depth. Though less widely known than contemporaries like Frederic Edwin Church, Appel’s contributions to American landscape painting lie in his ability to convey serene, introspective moments in nature. The piece exemplifies tonal harmony and meticulous attention to light—a hallmark of the Luminism movement—making it a quiet yet significant representation of America’s artistic legacy during its transition to modernism.
For interior decor, Sunset At Close Of Day would elevate spaces seeking warmth and serenity. Its ideal placement is in a living room or study with earthy, neutral furnishings—think oak wood tones, linen textiles, or muted greens—to enhance the painting’s organic palette. A large statement frame in brushed gold or dark walnut would complement its timeless appeal. For offices, positioning it near a window or under soft ambient lighting can mirror the painting’s glow, fostering calm focus. Given its likely mid-sized dimensions (approximately 24" x 36"), it works well above a sofa or as a focal point in a gallery wall balanced with smaller, simpler artworks. The piece pairs beautifully with Arts and Crafts décor or transitional interiors, where its luminous sky can subtly unify surrounding elements like terracotta vases or indigo accent pieces.
