About the Item
"BEFORE THE HUNT" LANDSCAPE PAINTING BY JOHN SYER, JR. (BRITISH, 1846 - 1913)
In oil on canvas, signed lower right "J. Syer 188.."
Item # 012IRM11P
A fine open landscape depicting a group of men and women gathered before a large manor on their horses to begin an afternoon hunt. The grounds are well-tailored with sweeping grass and random tree clusters before the neoclassical house. It is signed in the lower right "J. Syer" and is illegibly dated to the 1880s. Sometimes confused with his father, John Syer, Jr. was a well-regarded landscape and marine painter with a large body of genre work. The present work is bright and cheery and is hung in a somewhat later giltwood frame with an old plaque that inadvertently attributes the work to John Syer, Sr. by the date.
Measurements: 24 1/8" H x 33 5/8" W [canvas]; 30 5/16" H x 39 3/8" W x 2 3/8" D [frame]
Condition report:
Relined. Light surface craquelure throughout. Very minor surface grime, could benefit from being professionally cleaned at some point in the future, though it still presents beautifully. Under UV examination, the sky flares with various touchups and later varnishes that somewhat obscure examination; far right above highest tree shows a large area of inpainting in the sky; within the right-most tree three spots of inpainting in the leaves and one long right-angled spot just above the trunk of the tree; trees on the left have at least nine small spots of inpainting along with touch-ups to some distant tree trunks; other small touch ups here and there. All of these can be viewed by looking at our UV images.

- Landscape Painting "Shepherd & Flock" by Pieter Gerardus Van Os circa 1821Located in Shippensburg, PAPIETER GERARDUS VAN OS Dutch, 1776-1839 Shepherd with Flock in a Pastoral Landscape (1821) Oil on canvas Signed lower left "PG Van Os f 1821" Item # 204GPP23A An extensive and brilliantly detailed scene, this fine woodland pastoral landscape highlights the ability of Pieter Gerardus van Os to manipulate light for dramatic and somewhat ecclesiastical effect. There is a certain other-worldly insinuation in the golden light as it pierces the dense cover of the leaves to highlight the shepherd and his flock as the focal point for the painting. Here we find the young boy entirely at peace on the bank surrounded by long golden grasses with his hat and staff tossed aside while watching the action of the small waterfall on the otherwise tranquil stream. His small dog stands beside him while the sheep graze carelessly, each showing total disregard for the two men and their dog hunting in shadows of the woods behind them. Across the bank a pair of unattended billy goats graze on the trees of the deeply shaded forest floor. There is a harmony and perfect sense of balance in this intricately detailed scene, an effective infusion of the transcendental into a quiet landscape scene. The work is signed lower left in his typical scrawling script "PG [intertwined] Van Os f 1821" and the back of the frame retains an early Christie's label. It is presented in a very fine carved giltwood frame. PIETER GERARDUS VAN OS Born in The Hague on October 8th of 1776 into the renowned Van Os family of painters, Pieter would spend his early years studying under his father Jan together with his brother Georgius Johannes Jacobus (Dutch, 1782-1861) in their father's studio. The three men had remarkable careers and would become some of the most influential painters in the Netherlands throughout the first half of the 19th century. Unlike his brother and father, Pieter moved away from still-life paintings and focused his work on rural landscapes of the Dutch countryside. He was self-taught in this pursuit, first as a copyist of the renowned Dutch "Golden Age" painters Karel Dujardin (Dutch, 1626-1678) and Paulus Potter (Dutch, 1625-1654) while also being heavily influenced by the landscape work of Jacob van Ruisdael and the allegorical landscapes of Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem. From his studio in Amsterdam, Pieter taught such notable pupils as Wouterus Verschuur...Category
