Signed and dated lower right: Harold / von / Schmidt / 1951
The John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company; BSA Settlement Trust.
Harold von Schmidt (American, 1893-1982) They See a Vision That Once Was Yours, 1951 Oil on canvas 29 x 37 inches (73.7 x 94.0 cm) Signed and dated lower right: Harold / von / Schmidt / 1951 Property from the BSA Settlement Trust, Sold for the Benefit of Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse PROVENANCE: The John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company. Harold von Schmidt's They See a Vision That Once Was Yours captures the timeless spirit of scouting through a compelling and nostalgic campfire scene. Known for his dynamic and evocative illustrations, von Schmidt perfectly conveys the essence of camaraderie, imagination, and the shared experiences of youth in this piece. The painting depicts a group of Boy Scouts gathered around a glowing campfire, their faces illuminated by the warm light of the flames. The scouts, deeply engrossed in the moment, seem to be lost in thought, perhaps reflecting on the stories of adventure and heroism they've just heard. The composition centers around the flickering fire, which casts soft shadows on the boys, creating a dramatic contrast between light and dark. Von Schmidt masterfully uses the light to draw attention to the boys' expressions, each showing a mix of wonder, curiosity, and contemplation. The artist's loose yet confident brushstrokes, combined with his adept handling of light, create a scene that feels intimate and alive, pulling the viewer into the shared experience of the Scouts. The title, They See a Vision That Once Was Yours, adds another layer of meaning to the work, suggesting that the memories and ideals of youth—adventure, discovery, and friendship—are not confined to any one generation but are passed down through time. Von Schmidt's painting is both a celebration of the Boy Scout tradition and a poignant reminder of the enduring nature of youthful dreams and the values they inspire.
