Work Horse Oil Painting by Wouterus Verschuur I

About the Item

This is our exceptional oil painting on mahogany panel of a work horse in barn by the Dutch master, Wouterus Verschuur I (1812-1874). Panel measures 9 by 13 inches and its period ogee frame with gillded lining and ebonized banding measures 19.25 by 23.75 inches. The artist's career began early at the age of 16 when he exhibited at the Tentoonstelling van Levende Meesters. Shortly thereafter he achieved golden medals at the Felix Meritis in the 1831 and 1832. He became a member of the Koninklijke Academie in Amsterdam in 1832, and in 1839 joined the Arti et Amicitae. The artist's style was rooted in the Dutch romantic style founded in the 17th century and best represented by the works of Philip Wouwerman (1619-1668), Pieter Gerardus Van Os (1776-1839) and Cornelis Steffelaar (1797-1861). Verschuur is known to have copied masterpieces by Wouwerman in fine detail, and is widely known and revered for his romantic and detailed portraits of genre scenes and animals, particularly horses. This painting would make a fine addition to any collection of 19th century Dutch masters.

  • Pierre Bosco Horse Races, Oil Painting
    By Pierre Bosco
    Located in Chicago, IL
    A fabulous Mid-Century abstract oil painting titled Horse Races by Pierre Bosco. Displayed in a dark wood frame with gold inset and ready to hang. Excellent Condition, Original Condition Unaltered, No Imperfections. A descendant of the famous Della Rovere family, Pierre was born on January 29, 1909 in Visco, the province of Udine in Italy where he grows up with his seven siblings. At twenty-two he decides to leave his native Italy and move to Saint-Germain-en-Laye where he attends diligently the schools and painting workshops of the capital. In 1940 he befriends the painter André Marchand and manages to make a living by selling occasionally and with the help from his family. However, he has his first solo exhibition in Paris in 1943 at the Galerie Roussel, boulevard Saint-Germain, but continues to pursue his work austerely in the silence of his studio. When his father dies in 1945, the painter returns to Italy to be with his family for some time after fifteen years of absence. After this homecoming, he returns to Paris in 1946, painting and making a living as an art restoration. When he first discovers paintings of Cézanne, Pissarro, Gauguin and Rouault, he is convinced that his future is in Paris, where the “bohemian" lifestyle attracts painters and sculptors from around the world. In 1957, Bosco is well known to the affluent elite of the French capital. He appears in numerous laudatory articles written by famous poets like Pierre Seghers, Jean Cocteau and Marcel Sauvage - who will dedicate a poem to him – including the French poet and novelist Henri Bosco, and the journalist and writer Louis Nucéra. Bosco’s works of art stands among those of the biggest names in contemporary painting: Chagall, Braque, Picasso, Matisse, etc. This collaboration opens new doors...
