Emil Carlsen (1853-1932) was a Dutch-born Impressionist artist who emigrated to the United States in his late teens. Trained as an architect, his interest in painting eventually drew him more and more into the world of art. Like so many others, his early years as a painter were a financial struggle, and he was only able to live comfortably on his income as a painter after several decades. Once established, however, his fame and reputation increased, and today Carlsen is regarded by many as the finest American still-life painter of his time. Elected to the National Academy of Design in 1912 and honored by many for his works, the three awards offered here are among the most prestigious of American art awards. All three medals are still housed in their original fitted presentation cases. The medals, chronologically, are:<strong>1907 George Inness Medal for Landscape Painting. Gold. 60.5 mm. 123.4 grams. 18 karat. By Hartley. Mint State. Obv:</strong> Left facing bust of George Inness with the inscription GEORGE INNESS LANDSCAPE PAINTER MDCCCXXV MDCCCXCIV around.

One of these was awarded annually from 1901 to 1918 to a student of the National Academy of Design for works exhibited at an Academy Exhibition. This impressive matte finish medal is housed in its leather case with green and black velour interior, as issued by Tiffany &amp; Co. A couple of tiny edge nicks are noted for accuracy.<strong>1912 Joseph E. Temple Trust Fund Medal. Gold. 54.3 mm. 93 grams. 18 karat. By George T. Morgan. Mint State. Obv:</strong> Frock-coated bewhiskered bust right, with name JOSEPH E. / TEMPLE around the border. Signed MORGAN SC. on the truncation of the bust, for U.S. Mint Engraver George T. Morgan. <strong>Rev:</strong> Genius of American Art standing right crowning youthful painter at left with laurels, cartouche below inscribed EMIL CARLSEN / 1912. Inscription THE PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY OF THE FINE ARTS FOUNDED 1805 / TEMPLE TRUST FUND MEDAL FOUNDED 1880 around the border. <strong>Edge:</strong> Plain.

High relief matte finish, and housed in the original leather, satin and velour case of issue.<strong>Undated (1916) Saltus Medal for Merit. Gold. 51.5 mm. 93.5 grams. 24 karat. By Victor David Brenner. Mint State. Obv:</strong> Woman in toga seated on a wall composing a wreath of laurel branches, inscription NATIONAL ACADEMY OF DESIGN around the border and signature V.D. BRENNER at bottom right. <strong>Rev:</strong> Plaque inscribed AWARDED TO / EMIL CARLSEN. N. A. / FOR ARTISTIC MERIT set against a background of oak branches. <strong>Edge:</strong> Apparently uninscribed, however there are slight indications of an inscription having been removed. Recent Saltus medals are known to have their edge lettered MEDALLIC ART CO. N.Y. 24K. First awarded in 1908, and continuing today, the 1916 medal went to Emil Carlsen for his painting "Marine." This medal was engraved by the famed sculptor and designer of the Lincoln cent, Victor David Brenner, and is cataloged as #78 in Glenn B. Smedleys catalog of Brenners medallic work. Matte finish, and accompanied by the fitted maroon leather, satin and velour case as issued by Tiffany &amp; Co. This lovely three-piece set represents an important opportunity to obtain a medallic remembrance of the work of a major American artist, each piece unique, and otherwise unobtainable.
