19th century English landscape Flower Garden with Rose Arbor/Arch

Located in Woodbury, CT

Arthur Kemp Tebby (1866–1935) English Rose Arbor, circa 1890 Oil on wooden panel, signed lower right. Arthur Kemp Tebby was among the finest English painters of gardens and floral landscapes working during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods. A gifted colourist and accomplished plein air painter, Tebby became celebrated for his depictions of English country gardens in full bloom, capturing the fleeting beauty of the seasons with remarkable delicacy and atmosphere. Influenced by both the French Impressionists and the rich tradition of British landscape painting, his works possess a freshness and luminosity that have made them enduringly sought after by collectors. This enchanting painting portrays a magnificent rose-covered arbor in the height of summer, inviting the viewer along a quiet garden path beneath cascades of climbing roses in shades of crimson, blush pink and ivory. Dappled sunlight filters gently through the foliage, illuminating the gravel walkway and creating a harmonious interplay of light and shadow. The abundance of flowering shrubs, carefully observed botanical detail and softly diffused background combine to evoke the tranquillity and romance of an English country garden at its seasonal peak. Executed with Tebby’s characteristic sensitivity, the composition demonstrates his mastery of colour and texture. Delicate brushwork captures the profusion of blooms without sacrificing spontaneity, while subtle tonal transitions lend remarkable depth and atmosphere. The artist’s restrained palette of soft greens, warm earth tones and vibrant floral highlights creates an elegant balance that is both decorative and naturalistic. Painted around 1890, this work belongs to a period when Tebby was producing some of his most accomplished garden scenes, subjects that remain among his most desirable. His paintings celebrate the Victorian passion for cultivated gardens while embracing the increasingly Impressionistic handling of light and colour that distinguished progressive British artists of the era. Beautifully presented in an elegant gilt frame, this charming painting is a quintessential example of late nineteenth-century English garden painting...

Transigent (Abstract Contemporary Painting, Framed)

By G. Campbell Lyman

Located in New Orleans, LA

(Comes professionally framed in a solid maple floater frame, ready to hang) Artist's Statement "This series of intensely colorful paintings was begun a couple of years back in reaction to the gray oppressive weight that had descended like a pall on the American scene. I wanted to make paintings about nothing but pure delight, in honor of the fact that beneath the fog of germs and political antagonism, we still eat, laugh, love and if we're wise, acknowledge how spectacularly fortunate we are -- at least for now, in this time and place, despite the problems. For me, the colors, forms and brushstrokes here feel exuberant without suggesting an unnerving chaos. I have purposely used unlikely color combinations that despite their dissonance seem to work together. I don't feel this is a time to be making brooding works that reflect the problems we are working our way through; we all know about this. On the contrary, I think it's a time for art...

Cadaqués Mediterranean Landscape with Olive Trees Catalan Costa Brava Spain

By Rafael Duran Benet

Located in Sitges, Barcelona

Cadaqués Mediterranean Landscape with Olive Trees, Costa Brava Title: Cadaqués Mediterranean Landscape Artist: Rafael Duran Benet (Terrassa, 1931 – Barcelona, 2015) Technique: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 60 × 73 cm (23.6 × 28.7 in) Date: c. 1990 Signed: Yes, lower right Condition: Good vintage condition Frame: Unframed Origin: Spain Description Atmospheric Mediterranean landscape depicting Cadaqués, one of the most iconic villages of the Costa Brava in Catalonia, Spain. Rafael Duran Benet presents the white architecture of the coastal town rising beyond a foreground of olive trees and cultivated terraces, combining silvery greens, blues, violet shadows and luminous whites. The composition is particularly characteristic of the artist's mature Mediterranean landscapes. Rather than describing the village with architectural precision, Duran Benet constructs the scene through broad, energetic brushwork and overlapping fields of colour. The dark trunks and dense foliage of the olive trees create a strong foreground structure, while the brilliant white buildings of Cadaqués dissolve into the light of the distant coastline. The painting captures the particular visual character of the Cap de Creus landscape: dry vegetation, intense Mediterranean light, whitewashed villages and a terrain descending toward the sea. Its palette and loose handling place the work within the tradition of Catalan Post-Impressionism and twentieth-century Mediterranean modernism. At 60 × 73 cm, this is a substantial and highly decorative example of Duran Benet's landscape painting, combining the visual appeal of Cadaqués with the expressive colour and painterly surface for which his work is known. Biography Rafael Duran Benet (Terrassa, 1931 – Barcelona, 2015) was a Catalan painter...
