About the Item

Beautiful diptych oil painting by Jan Valentin Saether (1944-2018) The piece shows 2 open boxes, one is empty and the second one shows a portrait of a man with long curly hair and a beard. The painting shows great attention to detail and is very realistic. Measurements: 59.50 inches wide x 37.75 inches high x 1.50 inches projection from the wall. Each paitning is 26 inches high x 22 inches wide. Jan Valentin Saether (1944-2018) Fine artist Jan Isak Valentin Ben Abram Saether was born in Oslo, Norway in 1944. A student at both the National College of Applied Arts and at the National Academy of Fine Art in the 1960s and early 70s he received training in both sculpture and painting. In 1973 Saether moved to Los Angeles, California with his first wife and two young daughters. He built a career as an artist there and established several schools; first in 1977 at the old firehouse in Venice together with Alan Katz and Martine Vaugel, and later, in the 1980s Bruchion, a legendary school for art and gnosis. In 1995 Saether moved back home to his native country Norway where he worked as associate professor at the National Academy of Fine Art, Oslo for a year before accepting the chair of figurative painting at the same institution after the media duel of the year as the only two painters found competent to hold this position were Jan Valentin Saether and his old friend from the student years, Odd Nerdrum. Saether held the position until 2002. Saether worked both within the classical figurative style, and he experimented with different media.

  • Antique Oil Painting Portrait of Dog by Animalier Jan Van Essen
    Located in Casteren, Noord-Brabant
    Beautiful dog portrait by the Dutch painter Jan Essen. The painting shows a Schipperke, which is a breed of dog that used to be more common than it is now. It is a small-sized shepherd, of Belgian origin. The painter has succeeded in portraying the dog in its natural position. Beautiful details are the black fur of the dog and the eyes. The way the dog looks is just very dog like, a dog lover will recognize this faithful, loyal look. Jan Essen is a well-known Dutch animal painter from the second half of the 19th century. Initially he painted landscapes and cityscapes, but under the influence of the English animal painter J. Swan he also started painting animals from 1885 onwards. He has never lacked appreciation, because his work has been awarded at exhibitions in Amsterdam, Germany, France and Australia. He learned the trade from Conrad Greive (1837-1891). Signed and dated top left, Jan van Essen...
