This is a hand-colored folio sized lithograph entitled "Grypus Naevius" (Saw-bill Hummingbird with Nest & Eggs) by John Gould, published in his "A Monograph of the Trochilidae, or Family of Humming-birds", published in London in 1850. The print, which was drawn by Gould and Henry Richter and lithographed by Hullmandel and Walton, depicts three black, brown and peach-colored hummingbirds about a nest, containing at least two eggs. The beautiful soft grey-green foliage includes a white, soft pink and cranberry-colored flower. This beautiful Gould hand-colored hummingbird lithograph is augmented with iridescent gum-arabic paint.

This superb religious figurative oil painting is by noted artist Wilfred de Glehn. Although some experts rank de Glehn alongside Sargent, he is considered as something of a late British Renoir, for his deft use of sunlight and shadow. Indeed he was good friends with John Singer Sargent and collaborated with his on some projects. This painting, painted circa 1910 is of three saints, from left to right they are Saint Jerome, Saint Roch and Saint Sebastian. It is based on a work attributed to 16th century artist Alessandro Oliverio. Saint Jerome was a biblical translator and monastic leader and is depicted in red, holding books. Saint Roch and Saint Sebastian were known as the Plague saints - Plague saints offered hope and healing before, during, and after times of plague. A specific style of painting, the plague votive, was considered a talisman for warding off the plague. It portrayed a particular saint as an intercessor between God and the person or persons who commissioned the painting – usually a town, government, lay confraternity, or religious order to atone for the "collective guilt" of the community. Rather than a society depressed and resigned to repeated epidemics, these votives represent people taking positive steps to regain control over their environment. Paintings of Roch represent the confidence in which renaissance worshipers sought to access supernatural aid in overcoming the ravages of the plague. The thirteenth-century Saint Roch (or Rocco), whose death is still commemorated in Italy, is especially invoked against the plague. He attended plague victims in public hospitals in Italy according to traditional accounts of his life. Images attributed to the Spanish historical painter Nicolás Borrás in the Royal Cornwall Museum, or other works in institutions from The National Gallery to the Wallace Collection, show him baring his thigh to show the mark of the plague, as he is in this painting. Saint Roch is also the patron saint of dogs, after one carried food to him in the prison where he died...

The Amphitheatre of Loch Lomond from the Water Mill at Ross-Ben Lomond by John Wilson Ewbank, RSA (1799-1847) signed and inscribed with title verso oil on millboard, 24.5 x 35cms, plus frame provenance: private collection, Scottish borders Very fine and beautiful antique oil painting of this important view in Scotland, depicting the ever beautiful Loch Lomond. The painting is by the very well listed John Wilson Ewbank (1799-1847). John Wilson Ewbank (English, 4 May 1799–28 November 1847), was an English-born landscape and marine painter who was renowned for his naturalistic landscapes and seascapes of the Scottish borders and the North East coast of England. 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 was also taught by Alexander Nasmyth (1758-1840), a popular painter amongst the Scottish and English nobility. Ewbank 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. Sadly after the death of his wife he descended into depression and was stripped of his status as an academician in 1838 and died in poverty of typhus in Sunderland in 1847. Ewbank’s calm seascapes were strongly influenced by 17th Century Dutch artists, particularly Willem and Adriaen Van de Velde. Although his best work dates from his early years, Ewbank became a popular and wealthy art teacher in the capital where made a reputation with cabinet pictures of banks of rivers, coast scenes, and marine subjects. Ewbank’s 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 was also noted as a painter of landscapes and seascapes as exemplified in this painting. The busy port of South Shields is located on the south side of the mouth of the River Tyne, Northumberland. The settlement was founded by the Romans in AD80 when Agricola built a fort on the Lawe Top. The Romans used it as a supply base for Hadrian’s Wall and by the 5th Century, South Shields was a major Roman military stronghold and commercial centre. By 1500, South Shields had become an important seaport, trading primarily in timber, lead, coal and salt. The first shipbuilding yard was established by Robert Wallis in about 1720, he was soon followed by others, including Thomas Marshall...

This evocative landscape by Axel Edvard Peter captures the serene beauty of nature with remarkable skill. Painted in 1918, the scene depicts a wooden rowboat resting in still waters beneath the sheltering branches of a lush tree. The dappled sunlight filtering through the foliage creates a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow, while the artist’s use of short, expressive brushstrokes imbues the composition with a vibrant, almost impressionistic quality. The rich greens and golden hues of the landscape reflect Peter’s mastery of color and atmosphere. Axel Peter was a Swedish painter known for his distinctive artistic voice, shaped by his studies at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm and further training in Paris and Germany. He was part of the influential Opponents’ Movement (Opponentrörelsen) of 1885, alongside artists such as Richard Bergh, Nils Kreuger, and Eugène Jansson...

The 1896 original poster by Privat-Livemont for Absinthe Robette stands as one of the most iconic examples of the Art Nouveau movement and a testament to the golden age of advertising art. Included in the prestigious series Les Maîtres de l'Affiche as Plate 104, this poster epitomizes the elegance, fluidity, and ornamental style that defined turn-of-the-century commercial design. Designed by Privat-Livemont, a Belgian artist renowned for his contributions to Art Nouveau, the Absinthe Robette poster was created to advertise the popular absinthe drink of the late 19th century. Absinthe, often referred to as the "Green Fairy," was a fashionable and somewhat controversial beverage, celebrated for its intoxicating allure and inspiration among artists, writers, and bohemians of the period. Privat-Livemont was celebrated for his ability to combine decorative elegance with commercial purpose. His work for Absinthe Robette reflects the signature traits of Art Nouveau: graceful lines, flowing forms, and a harmonious blend of nature-inspired motifs. Posters like this were not merely advertisements but works of art in their own right, often displayed in cafes, bars, and public spaces, capturing the imagination of passersby. Les Maîtres de l'Affiche (The Masters of the Poster) was a renowned collection of lithographic works, published between 1895 and 1900, that brought together the finest poster art from the greatest artists of the time. Curated by Jules Chéret, the series highlighted the artistic mastery of advertising and included works by notable artists such as Toulouse-Lautrec, Alphonse Mucha, and Privat-Livemont. Plate 104, featuring Absinthe Robette, is a shining example of the beauty and sophistication celebrated within this series. The late 19th century saw posters emerge as a powerful medium for both art and commerce, revolutionizing the visual landscape of cities. In this golden era, artists like Privat-Livemont elevated the status of posters from functional advertisements to celebrated works of art. Through their ornate designs and expressive use of color and composition, these posters reflected the aesthetic and cultural trends of the time. Today, the Absinthe Robette poster remains an enduring symbol of the Art Nouveau movement and a treasured piece of history. As part of Les Maîtres de l'Affiche, it holds significant cultural and artistic value, appealing to collectors, historians, and admirers of vintage advertising art...

One of the main and most famous works by the Italian futurist poet F.T. Marinetti ( Alessandria d'Egitto , 1876   –  Bellagio ,  1944 ), clearly inspired by the Adrianople siege in 1912, which he witnessed as a reporter for L'Intransigeant . It is considered one of the most typical futurist work, since the author conceived it using different fonts, dimensions and other graphic elements that were responsible to take the reader right inside the battle. In fact, “the dynamic rhythms and onomatopoetic possibilities that the new form of expression offered, was made even more effective through the revolutionary use of different typefaces, forms and graphic arrangements and sizes that became a distinctive part of Futurism. ” (Caroline Tisdall-Angelo Bozzola...
