VIVIANO CODAZZI (c. 1603-1672) A Pair of Architectural Cappriccios Oil on Canvas 24 x 28 7/8 inches (60.8 x 73.2 cms) Provenance: Collection Pérez de Vargas, Counts de la Quinteria, since the 19th Century; Illustrisima Sra. Doña Maria Carmen del Valle, 1960s; The property of a Spanish Noble family Italian School A native of the Northern city of Bergamo, Viviano Codazzi is known to have travelled to Rome as early as 1620. In 1634 he moved to Naples and remained there until 1647. Codazzi specialised in realistic landscape painting and often collaborated with Michelangelo Cerquozzi in painting views of monuments and architectural fantasy, the staffage being painted by Cerquozzi. Codazzi was to receive many lucrative commissions throughout his life, some of the most important being the mural architectural settings for frescoes on the walls of the churches of Santi Apostoli, San Paolo Maggiore and San Martino. He also executed numerous genre scenes and some religious subjects. Museums where examples of the artist's works can be found include: Besançon, Chambery, Florence (Galeria Corsini and Palazzo Pitti).

  • Grand 19th Century English Marine Painting in Stunning Light
    By John Wilson Ewbank
    Located in London, GB
    John Wilson Ewbank (1799 - 1847) Shipping in the Harbour, South Shields Oil on canvas 39.5 x 58 inches unframed 47.75 x 66.5 inches framed Provenance: Christie's October 2002; Lot 11. Fine Art Society; Private Collection This marvellous up to scale Ewbank is full of light and warmth and almost certainly his greatest work of the sort rarely - if ever - seen on the market. John W. Ewbank (4 May 1799–28 November 1847), was an English-born landscape and marine painter largely operational from Scotland. The Humber river is a large tidal estuary on the east coast of Northern England. Life Ewbank was born at Darlington on 4 May 1799, the son of Michael Ewbank, an innkeeper. He was adopted as a child by a wealthy uncle who lived at Wycliffe, on the banks of the River Tees, in the North Riding of Yorkshire. Intended for the Roman Catholic priesthood, he was sent to Ushaw College, from which he absconded. In 1813 Ewbank was apprenticed to Thomas Coulson, an ornamental painter in Newcastle. In around 1816 he moved with Coulson to Edinburgh, where he had some lessons with Alexander Nasmyth. He found work both as a painter and a teacher. He was nominated in 1830 one of the foundation members of the Royal Scottish Academy. In 1833 he is listed as living at 7 Union Street on the eastern fringe of the New Town in Edinburgh. Works His sketches from nature were especially admired, and a series of 51 drawings of Edinburgh by him were engraved by W. H. Lizars for James Browne's Picturesque Views of Edinburgh (1825). He also made a reputation with cabinet pictures of banks of rivers, coast scenes, and marine subjects. As an illustrator he illustrated some early editions of Scott's Waverley Novels and one edition of Gilbert White...
