About the Item
A gorgeous floral still life which marries the depth and the richness found in the work of the Flemish old masters with the elegance and light of French painting. As you will see, there is a reason for this!
Robert Mols was born on June 22, 1848 in the capital of the Flemish region of Belgium.
Extraordinarily gifted, he studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, where he already obtained several prizes by the age of 13 . At 15, he exhibited for the first time in Antwerp.
Mos was only 17 when he travelled to France fo the first time. He stayed notably in Paris and in Barbizon, a village on the edge of the forest of Fontainebleau where there was a thriving artist's colony. Mols studied with two of of the spearhead figures of the Barbizon movement, Jean François Milles and Jules Dupré.
Mols exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1873 and his works, highly remarked, were on several occasions purchased by the French government. Numerous awards were given to Mols and he notably obtained the cross of the Order of Leopold in 1879, and in 1900, that of Knight of the Legion of Honour.
Mol's work is present at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts and at the National Maritime Museum in Antwerp, at the Army Museum in Brussels and at the museums of Dunkirk , Prague and Sète. Please note that Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp owns a floral composition not dissimilar in style to the one presented here!

- "Lady in yellow", 19th Century oil on panel by Rogelio de Egusquiza y BarrenaBy Rogelio de Egusquiza y BarrenaLocated in Madrid, ESROGELIO DE EGUSQUIZA Y BARRENA LADY IN YELLOW signed "R. Egusquiza" (lower right) oil on panel 28-5/8 X 20-3/4 inches (72.5 X 52.7 cm.) framed: 32-5/8 X 24-3/4 inches (82.5 X 62.5 cm.) Rogelio de Egusquiza y Barrena (1845 – 10 February 1915) was a Spanish painter, known for his friendship with the German composer Richard Wagner, whose works he helped make familiar in Spain He was born in El Astillero, into a well-to-do family. He studied in Madrid and with Léon Bonnat at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In 1868, after travelling and participating several times in the National Exhibition of Fine Arts, he returned to Paris and settled there. At first, he painted historical scenes, but later turned to genre scenes and portraits in the Academic style. Following the death of Marià Fortuny, he moved to Rome at the invitation of the Madrazos, Raimundo and Ricardo, taking Fortuny's place at their studio through 1875 and attending classes at the Spanish Academy in Rome. He heard Wagner's music for the first time in 1876, after returning to Paris. Three years later, he travelled to Munich to hear a performance of The Ring of the Nibelungen. His enthusiasm for what he heard led him to go to Bayreuth, where he introduced himself to Wagner and became his friend. In the following years, he and Wagner got together again several times; in Venice (1880), Berlín (1881) and Bayreuth (1882); where he was a guest at the premiere of Parsifal. After his first meeting with Wagner, he decided to devote his career to doing works on Wagnerian themes; mostly portraits of the characters rather than specific scenes. During his visits to Germany, he also created portraits of Arthur Schopenhauer (posthumous) and King Ludwig II...Category
