Pair of antique Orientalist oil paintings by de Hagemann
French, 19th Century
Canvas: Height 44cm, width 29.5cm, depth 2cm
Frames: Height 64cm, width 50cm, depth 4.5cm
Crafted by renowned French Orientalist Godefroy de Hagemann (1820-1877), this exquisite duo of oil paintings captivates with two enchanting vignettes.
The initial masterpiece unveils a tranquil figurative courtyard tableau. It features a pair of women, elegantly robed in soft pastels, gazing out at the sea from behind a delicately wrought gate, their eyes tracing the waves to the distant North African cityscape. The courtyard is part of a building of traditional Islamic architecture which rises behind the women, which the artist depicted through quick, larger brushstrokes.
A gathering of other figures lounges on plush carpets by a small pond, in the sheltering shade behind them, their attire subtly echoing the women's. A centrepiece dish filled with radiant oranges sits amidst them. All the figures feature an impressive amount of detail with the artist making use of smaller, dry brushstrokes, to convey a sense of life and accuracy. The scene is framed by verdant palms and vibrant pink blooms, all under a dominating expanse of brilliant blue skies, whose hues contrast dramatically with the nuanced details below.
The second piece throws us into the heart of a teeming North African street. The street bustles with life, donkeys in striking red saddles leading the scene, one ridden by a woman swathed in purple toward an archaic structure with emerging townsfolk. A grand mosque, boasting a striped red and white facade, anchors the scene in the distance. Here, too, azure skies juxtapose with the street's vibrant chaos, punctuated by the serene presence of trees.
The paintings are handsomely presented within giltwood frames, the first signed on the bottom left and the second on the right as 'G. De. Hagemann'. This pair of paintings, with their dynamic and idealised representation of North African scenes possesses a unique allure that marks them as highly desirable. Their inclusion in any interior would provide it with a sense of lightness and life.

- View of the Bergsee - Oil on Canvas by Josef Brunner - Mid 19th CenturyBy Josef BrunnerLocated in Roma, ITView of the Bergsee is an original modern artwork realized by the Austrian artist and painter Josef Brunner in the middle of the XIX Century. Original Oil painting on Canvas cm. 72 x 3 x 102 (canvas). A beautiful original XIX Century decorated frame is included (total dimensions: 100 x 5 x 130). Both the work and the canvas are in very good conditions. Beautiful and intense oil painting depicting the Austrian mountain lake Bergsee. The painting is characterized by a particular play between lights and shadows: the light indeed is distributed in an extremely suffused but homogeneous way on the view but it is also able to create that sense of magic that characterized the whole landscape. The color of the lake therefore assumes a transparency and an iridescent blue that tends to the green and reflects the color of the surrounding mountains. The sky appears full of rainy clouds but they still allow the rays of the last sun to shine on. The general vision conveys calm and tranquility thanks also to the refined use of color and the play of lights and shadows, the turquoise and the pale opaque blue of the lake is perfectly emphasized by the various green tones of the trees. The white, gray and light brown rocky mountains embrace the lake and the cloudy sky in shades of blue increases the feeling of tranquility. The landscape is desolate; the only signs of life are the three fishermen on the shore: they are three small figures painted in different poses and illuminated by the light too. The surface of the water reflects in a spectacular way the surrounding landscape, it is similar to the surface of a mirror. The style, fantastic and almost dreamy, is into the full Germanic Romanticism. Mindful of Caspar David Friedrich's memoirs (Greifswald, 1774 - Dresda, 1840), the author certainly took his cue from the style of the German and the Austrian Romanticism; tangible signs of Romantic painting are the choice of the subject, an uncontaminated Nordic landscape, and the almost fairytale atmosphere that we find in the composition. This wonderful Romantic painting was created by the Austrian artist Josef Brunner (Wien, 1826 - Wien, 1893). Joseph Brunner was the son of Joseph...Category
