Landscape with travellers near a bridge - Attributed to Goffredo Wals

About the Item

Oil on oval lime wood panel Collection number on the back: 272 We see a herd of goats and their shepherds on the bridge, one of the shepherds is on a horse, the others look at the men near the riverbank. Two standing figures are pointing and discussing with one another, while the other one is sitting and relaxing after a long trip. We'd like to thank dr. Guido Jansen for his attribution. Goffredo Wals was a German painter, who spent most of his career in Italy. Most of his works were in small format, often circular and painted on copper. His interest in composition and lighting is very marked and often bears resemblance to the works of Filippo Napoletano, who was in turn a follower of Adam Elsheimer.

  • Dutch School, 17th Century, Shipping in a Stiff Breeze, a City Beyond
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    We are delighted to present a significant piece from the Dutch School, most likely dating back to the late 17th century. This captivating painting showcases the dynamic force of nature with three ships vigorously navigating through stormy waters. The foreground is a scene of nautical struggle, as figures are depicted working intensely with the sails, steering, and bracing against the tumultuous sea. In the serene background, the silhouette of a quaint town emerges, with spires from churches and the outlines of various buildings is visible. This juxtaposition of the calm town against the chaotic foreground serves as a powerful reminder of the unpredictability of life and nature. Dominating the canvas, the sky occupies two-thirds of the painting, filled with brooding clouds that occasionally break to reveal patches of blue. The presence of birds adds a dynamic element to the otherwise ominous atmosphere. While the artist remains unknown, the work is quintessentially Dutch in its execution, with meticulous attention to detail and a profound understanding of maritime life. The painting's oval shape is quite distinctive and is complemented by a suitably antique octagonal black frame, which adds to its historical charm. This piece is a testament to the mastery of Dutch maritime painting...

  • Moses Strikes the Water from the Rock. XVII cent. Dutch school.
    Located in Firenze, IT
    Moses Strikes Water from the Rock Dutch school, XVII century. Workshop of Jacob de Wet (Haarlem, 1610-1675). Technique: Oil on oak wood panel, composed of 3 horizontal panels. In this evocative work, Moses stands in a cave, gathering the Israelites. There was no water to drink or for their cattle. The people were discontented in the desert. But Moses and Aaron listened to the voice of God. With Aaron’s staff, Moses struck the rock, and water gushed forth abundantly, quenching their thirst. Jacob de Wet’s workshop specializes in subjects from the Old and New Testaments. The recognizable rectangular format, simple compositions, and clear narratives define his style. The interplay of light and shadow, reminiscent of Rembrandt, adds timeless allure. The characters’ costumes, with their large hats and turbans...
