John Dull paints Center City and The Philadelphia Masonic Temple
This painting by Dull was one of the first and smallest examples I have found. It is in it's original frame and I having a matching era painting from him of Independance Hall with the same frame which I will eventually post. This painting is unsigned, and its the only unsigned work of his that I have seen. It is clearly his work with the usual cloud treatment and those same streetlights found in many of his downtown paintings. The Masonic Temple and City Hall can both still be seen from this perspective today! I bought it from a seller who had 3 other of his paintings all signed. Anyone who has any of his paintings can certainly contact me if they would like to share a pic on this blog.
