Provenance:
Estate of J. Frederic Gagel, owner of multiple Thoroughbred race horses that competed in the Narragansett Special and Kentucky Derby. Their family heritage was strongly intertwined with the military having officers in battles dating back to the American Revolution.
A California native, Michael McGovern received his art education at El Camino Junior College and the UCLA Art Extension program. Subsequent studies continued in Germany, where he enjoyed a three year apprenticeship with Old Masters Instructor, Herr Alfred Herztfield. Traveling and studding extensively throughout Europe during this period. Michael focused in particular on landscape painting.
Michael moved to New England in 1984, establishing a successful career as artist, illustrator, and portrait painter. His celebrated work as portraitist includes paintings of Walter Cronkite, Leonard Bernstein, and Henry Kissinger. As well as illustrating over 200 romance novels, Michael also painted and exhibited in galleries throughout United States.
Though Michael's style is often described as photo-realistic, its minute detail never compromises the overall mood or ""gestalt"" of the work. A master of realistic illusion, Michael displays his technical virtuosity in all of his chosen subjects. Whether it is a deserted beach at sunrise, a solemn sunset over an expanse of marshland or a winter's evening in the mountains of New England, Michael creates in each painting a visual harmony which deeply echo's the viewer's own awareness. Employing a subtle and sophisticated palette, Michael pays particular attention to the element of light in his compositions. The resulting works resonate with an atmosphere of peace, dignity and profound tranquility.
In 2000, Michael's painting Laurance and Mary's Place was accepted and made the top 200 in the prestigious National Arts for the Parks Exhibition, Michael's paintings have been broadly exhibited, and are displayed in many private and corporate collections nationwide.

- Oil on Canvas Framed Painting "Clearing Skies over the Marsh", by Michael ReibelBy Michael ReibelLocated in Savannah, GAOil on canvas framed painting "Clearing Skies over the Marsh", by Michael Reibel. Unframed 22" x 28" Born in 1964 and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, Michael’s earliest recollection of creating art was at the age of 5 during a summer art camp at the J.B. Speed Museum of Art in Louisville. While he began his professional artistic journey later in life than many contemporary painters, he is living proof that it is never too late to pursue a talent, a dream, or a passion. In 2010, he made the decision to leave his corporate day job and solely focus on his fine art career, a decision many viewed as "gutsy", however one that was driven by his passion and desire to continue growing as an artist. Michael has always been drawn to the outdoors and the natural beauty of the landscape. As a young boy, he has vivid memories of riding at the front of his uncle’s boat before sunrise heading out on the lake to fish in a setting of solitude and peacefulness found in the early morning light. The sensory elements of nature are a moving and inspirational experience each and every time he ventures out in search of material for future paintings. The stillness and quietness of the landscape often provide the inspiration for many of his works. Michael loves the patina and rich history of the south, so much so that he and his family relocated to Seabrook, South Carolina in 2016. The majority of his work is of the southern landscape, however he also enjoys still life and figurative work. As a Kentucky native, Michael has a great appreciation for Kentucky bourbon. His unique Bourbon and Spirits still life series has been an enormous success, with paintings selling out almost immediately upon completion. He is a contemporary representational painter working in oils. He has a strong belief in drawing and painting from life. He believes painting a variety of subject matter sharpens his skills and ultimately makes him a better painter. In his view, today’s technologies afford painters a multitude of useful tools, however without the experience of working from life, a painter’s work may not develop to its fullest potential or vision. There are attributes of landscape painting that cannot always be painted from life. Michael describes his work as a pursuit in visual poetry. He is continually striving to move beyond the literal representation of the subject. His goal with each painting is to create a unique piece of fine art that will result in an emotional response from the viewer.
