We Sell Your Joseph Swift Paintings

Overview

Joseph Swift (1832–1889), was a respected painter who captured the likenesses of horses and other livestock in primitive or naive style. Appreciation for the Toronto artist increased over time and some of his works are now in the collections of the Canadian Museum of History, Royal Ontario Museum, the Sigmund Samuel Gallery and private collectors. When Swift began making his living as an artist, commercial photography was in its infancy. He found clients among prosperous farmers winning prizes for their exceptional livestock at the Toronto Industrial Exhibition (later the Canadian National Exhibition) and other events. Working in the British tradition, Swift painted in watercolour, periodically spotlighting his subject’s best details by using stencils and other techniques. Swift’s paintings are highly desirable by Canadian art collectors.
