About the Item

Ferdinand Sommer (German, * 28.5.1822 Coburg, † 26.7.1901 Luzern) Das Kurhaus Villa Germania in Davos, Schweiz um 1874 • Oil on canvas, ca. 31 x 48 cm • Later oak frame, ca. 45 x 62 cm • Signed lower left A fine painting of the Villa Germania which stood on the grounds of the famous Kurhaus of Davos in Switzerland. Wealthy patients would lodge in the luxurious Villa as they received their treatments in the close by Kurhaus. However, a few years after this painting was created, the Villa Germania burnt down, so here a rare indeed, detailed image of past glory with elegant figures promenading on a sunny day in the clean fresh air of the Grison mountains. Ferdinand Sommer, a 19th century prolific veduta painter based in Thun Switzerland, well known for his romantic depictions of Switzerland's famous mountains, dramatic valleys, and waterfalls which he would sell to collectors visiting Switzerland from all over the world. In 1868 he accepted the world famous Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler (1853 – 1918) as his apprentice and introduced young Hodler to the fine art of painting.

  • Channel. 1965, canvas, oil, 80x100 cm
    By Jadviga Zjilvinska
    Located in Riga, LV
    Channel. 1970, cardboard, oil, 108x73 cm Jadviga Žilvinska (1918-2010) was born in Tallinn. She grew up in Liepāja, where her great interest in art began and strengthened, which led the young artist to study at the Art Academy of Latvia. During her studies at the Academy, she studied with K. Ubāns, V. Tone and J. Liepiņš, and defended her diploma thesis under the guidance of L. Liberts. Later on, she devoted her entire life to art, working at the Liepāja School of Fine Arts and as a portraitist at the "Māksla" combine. She had four favourite themes: landscapes, portraits, flowers and sacred painting. Her works have lyricism and inner harmony. In the portraits, we see not only the outer form of a person, but the artist allows us to look into the very essence of a person - it is likely that the models themselves often saw something new and bright in themselves through the artist's vision. The works are executed in various techniques - tempera, oil, pastel and watercolour. CV: 1938 - Graduated from the Liepaja Secondary School of Applied Arts, Department of Decorative Painting. 1943 - Latvian Academy of Art, L. Liberts Figurative Painting Workshop with her diploma work "At the Artist's" 1946-1948 - teacher of painting and drawing at Liepāja Fine Arts High School. 1948-1966 - portraitist at the "Māksla" combine Participated in exhibitions since 1948. Member of the Artists' Union since 1966. Solo exhibitions in Riga, Jelgava, Sigulda (1972); Riga (1975; 1978; two in 1981; 1986; 1994), Jurmala (1979). Works exhibited in Latvia as well as abroad (Poland, Switzerland, Italy, Japan, Finland, Venezuela, Germany, Hungary).
