About the Item
Jason versus Spartoi *see notes below
British School, mid 20th century
oil on canvas, unframed
canvas: 30 x 25 inches
provenance: private collection, England
condition: very good and sound condition
British School, Jason Versus the Spartoi, an Art Deco style male nude warrior standing before the emerging Spartoi.
Note: The Trial of the Spartoi was the second challenge set by King Aeetes to Jason in order for him to win the Golden Fleece, which Jason and the Argonauts sail to Colchis to recover in order for Jason to stake his claim as the rightful king of Iolcus. In the myth, King Aeetes plants the teeth of a dragon into the ground, from which an army immediately grows out (Spartoi emanates from the Greek word speíro, which means 'to sow'). Jason cunningly defeats the emerging threat with the help of Medea who instructs him to throw a stone into the army. Unable to tell where the stone comes from, the Spartoi turn on, and defeat, each other.

- Two Ladies in Landscape - British Surrealist Oil PaintingBy Richard TurnerLocated in Cirencester, GloucestershireTwo Ladies in Landscape by Richard Turner, British 1940-2013 signed and dated verso, 2010 oil painting on canvas, 20 x 24 inches Signed, titled and dated 2010 verso. Painted with lovely bright colours. Richard Turner's work is mainly figurative painting, within Arcadian landscape settings similar to the compositions in renaissance and mannerist art. Turneramon's first stay in Egypt had a significant effect on his painting style and content. His change from hard edge abstraction to synthetic renaissance is evident in his 5ft x 7ft painting; 'The Resurrection of Tutankhamen', leading to his work being labelled post modernist. Turner won the J. Andrew Lloyd scholarship for Landscape, enabling him to study at the Royal College of Art in London, from 1963. There, he was tutored by Carol Weight...Category

- Parisian ModelBy Max WeberLocated in Palm Desert, CA"Parisian Model" is an oil on canvas painting by Max Weber painted in 1908. The work is signed and dated, lower right, "Max Weber Paris 1908". The painting size is 35 1/2 x 19 5/8 inches. The framed size is 43 x 27 x 2 1/4 inches. "Parisian Model" was painted in 1908, when Weber participated in a life class in Matisse's studio in Paris and painted several nudes. Weber was influenced toward a more Cubist styler after seeing Cezanne's work in the 1906-07 Salon in Paris, and he consorted within avant-garde circles in Paris as early as 1905. After returning to the US in 1909, Weber was credited with showing American audiences Cubism based on his firsthand knowledge of the key players and the style. Several drawings of Weber's from this time are in museum collections at The Met, the Smithsonian, and MoMA and show a similar style and stocatto gesture. Parisian paintings by Max Weber are extremely rare as there are hardly any that have sold publicly. Provenance: Estate of the Artist Gerald Peters Gallery...Category
