We know that Octave Linet was a great collector of medieval art and early Italian painters - he contributed to the enrichment of the Musée des Beaux Arts in Tours, to which he bequeathed his remarkable collection - which is why it is particularly touching and interesting to find on the back of this fine fawn-coloured painting a pencil study of a Gothic-style Virgin and Child, which he no doubt kept with him.
Octave Linet was a French painter born in Bléré (Indre-et-Loire) on 25 September 1870 and died in Paris on 9 November 1962.
Octave Linet exhibited at the Salon de la Nationale des Beaux-Arts for the first time in 1888. A founding member of the Salon d'Automne, he took part in the Salon des Indépendants. He travelled mainly in France and Spain.
He painted landscapes of Touraine, Creuse, Normandy and the Côte d'Azur. In Paris, he painted in particular the banks of the Seine, views of rooftops and works associated with theatres, some of which are kept in the Musée Carnavalet. In the Oise valley, he stayed in Éragny where he met up with his friend Léon Giran-Max and painted many riversides from the Neuville-sur-Oise loop to Saint-Leu-d'Esserent, street scenes, village scenes and festivals. He also painted still lifes, sometimes featuring objects from his personal collection of medieval and religious art.
A fine connoisseur and great scholar, he worked with the great collector Joseph Spiridon and was close to Suzanne Valadon, Maurice Utrillo, Max Jacob and Raoul Dufy.
He bequeathed part of his collection to the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Tours, comprising thirty-seven primitives and 12 sculptures from the haute-époque period. These included Antonio Vivarini's Saint Louis de Toulouse and Saint Antoine de Padoue.
The museums of Pontoise, which keep several of his works, have devoted two exhibitions to him.

- Till the Clouds Roll By 1945 Frank Sinatra Mid Century Modern Hollywood Film WPABy Richard WhorfLocated in New York, NYTill the Clouds Roll By 1945 Frank Sinatra Mid Century Modern Hollywood Film WPA TILL THE COULDS ROLL BY (Film Set), oil on canvas, 20 x 24 inches signed “Richard Whorf” lower right and signed and dated on the verso “R. Whorf/ Dec. 21, 1945. Frame by Hendenryk. ABOUT THE PAINTING This painting is from the collection of Barbara and Frank Sinatra, dated December 21, 1945 (just nine days after Frank Sinatra’s 30th birthday), and depicts the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Culver City backlot during the filming of Till the Clouds Roll By, the direction of the film having been taking over by Richard Whorf in December 1945. It is not presently clear if Whorf gave the Sinatras this painting as a gift, as the presence of the Dalzell Hatfield Galleries label on the verso indicates the painting may have been sourced there. Frank and Nancy Sinatra acquired a number of works from Dalzell Hatfield Galleries during the 1940’s, or perhaps they framed it for the couple. Sinatra performed “Old Man River’ in the film. Sinatra and June Allyson are depicted in the center of the painting. PROVENANCE From the Estate of Mrs. Nancy Sinatra; Dalzell Hatfield Galleries, Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles. An image of the Dalzell Hatfield label and the back of the original frame (which we replaced with a stunning Heydenrk frame) are attached. Nancy Sinatra was Fran's first wife. Nancy Rose Barbato was 17 years old when she met Frank Sinatra, an 18-year-old singer from Hoboken, on the Jersey Shore in the summer of 1934. They married in 1939 at Our Lady of Sorrows Church in Jersey City where Frank gave Nancy a recording of a song dedicated to her titled "Our Love" as a wedding present. The young newlyweds lived and worked in New Jersey, where Frank worked as an unknown singing waiter and master of ceremonies at the Rustic Cabin while Nancy worked as a secretary at the American Type Founders. His musical career took off after singing with big band leaders Harry James and Tommy Dorsey...Category
