Coming In & Going Out ( Plein Air Landscape painting green yellow colors)
Located in Cody, WY
This is a 'Plein Air" landscape Painting by Jane Chapin as seen in the viewing room exhibition on Silas VON MORISSE GALLERY. “Plein-Air” is the French expression to describe the act of painting in situ within the landscape, capturing the ever changing weather and light with tonal qualities, colour, loose brushwork and softness of form... The practice of “Plein Air Painting” goes back for centuries but was truly made into an art form by the French Impressionists such as Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir who were advocating of plein air painting. Much of their work was done outdoors in the diffuse light of a large white umbrella. Another major proponent of Plein Air was Jean Baptiste Camille Corot whom Claude Monet considered as “The only One Master here”. Corot provides a transition from the sharp academic style that ruled in his day with focus on the natural world and the lyrical expressiveness of one's work. With her "Plein Air Paintings", Jane Chapin is part of one of the largest art movements in history. Her paintings carry human emotions. We can read her moods and feelings with places that carry deep remembrances for the artist that go beyond the descriptive. "My paintings grow from observing and interpretating light as it emerges from, surrounds and reflects on everyday people and scenes. They seek to remind us of the beauty of our common surroundings, regardless of where we are." - Jane Chapin Jane Chapin Painting the Land of the Free...

Figurera dans le catalogue critique de l’oeuvre de Jean Jansem actuellement en préparation par l’association des amis de Jean Jansem JEAN JANSEM L’indigence d’après-guerre et la difficulté inhérente de trouver les matériaux adéquats et/ou habituels, telles les couleurs, très onéreuses alors, ont poussé les artistes figuratifs de l’après-guerre, en corrélation avec les préoccupations de l’époque, à redéfinir les paradigmes de la représentation. Il n’est plus question de chercher un sens mais bien pour les artistes d'étudier l’objet pour son intérêt formel, sa qualité intrinsèque. Le regard de l’artiste devient analytique et dépeint alors l’objet pour ce qu’il est et non plus pour son pouvoir évocateur ou symbolique. La nature morte n’est plus une invitation sensuelle à la ripaille, la pomme ou la pêche n’évoque aucune envie de croquer, la cruche aucune ivresse, la volaille...

Last Judgement Resurrection Castello Paint Oil on canvas Old master 17th Century
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
Valerio Castello (Genoa, 1624 - Genoa, 1659) - workshop The Last Judgement with detail of the Resurrection of the Bodies (Probable preparatory sketch for fresco) Oil on canvas (73 x 35 cm. - With frame 85 x 47 cm.) This fascinating canvas shows us a particular moment of the Last Judgement, an extremely rare subject that was particularly popular with Baroque painters, as it allowed them to engage with contorted poses, convulsive and sudden movements, pathos and drama in compositions animated by sumptuous theatricality. The composition fits easily into the mid-seventeenth-century Genoese milieu and precisely into the figurative repertoire of Valerio Castello (Genoa, 1624 - 1659), an interpreter of a new compositional conception, breaking with the previous pictorial tradition, through a recovery of the masters of sixteenth-century Mannerism and a careful observation of the works of the Flemish and Venetian painters present in abundance in Genoese collections. Nobody like Castello was able to interpret, through the liveliness of the compositional rhythm and palette, the new feeling of an era that favoured a strong theatricality, which is well suited to our subject. In the upper part, the painter emphasises the figure of Christ the judge, enveloped in a celestial light and accompanied by messenger angels; these creatures, sounding trumpets, announce the Day of Judgement and the destiny of mankind; for the elect there will be the ascent into heaven, while for the damned the fall into hell. Our canvas illustrates a particular event of the Last Judgement, the moment when the dead are slowly awoken from their sleep. At this stage, the bodies of the men rise from the bare earth, in a depiction of intense drama, helpless, many still wrapped in shrouded bandages. With still numb gestures they rise up and try to recover their corporeity, frightened and incredulous: some are still skeletons, some clothed, some still naked, some halfway through their transformation. In the faces of the resurrected we can see the daze caused by the dream of death and the fear of what will happen to them: in fact, it will now be Christ, whom we see pronouncing the Judgement blessing with his right hand, who will judge them and decide whether theirs will be a destiny of bliss or damnation. In the background we can recognise Charon towing the damned in his boat, surrounded by devilish figures, escorted towards Hell, announced by the glow of flames. The structure of the painting, with the two mighty figures positioned at the bottom corners almost forming two portions of an arch, would suggest that we are dealing with a valuable preparatory sketch, a study for a fresco or a larger, more complex altarpiece; this suggests that the final work was intended for the decoration of the main bay of a residence or private chapel. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The painting is sold complete with an attractive gilded frame and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and descriptive iconographic card. We take care of and organise the transport of the purchased works, both for Italy and abroad, through professional and insured carriers. Should you have the desire to see this or other works in person, we will be happy to welcome you to our new gallery in by Antichità Castelbarco...

Shop Abstract, Landscape, Figurative and Still-Life Paintings

Painting is an art form that has spanned innumerable cultures, with artists using the medium to tell stories, explore and communicate ideas and express themselves. To bring abstract, landscape and still-life paintings into your home is to celebrate and share in the long tradition of this discipline.

When we look at paintings, particularly those that originated in the past, we learn about history, other cultures and countries of the world. Like every other work of art, paintings — whether they are contemporary creations or works that were made during the 19th century — can often help us clearly see and understand the world around us in a meaningful and interesting way.

Cave walls were the canvases for what were arguably the world’s first landscape paintings, which depict natural scenery through art. Portrait paintings and drawings, which, along with sculpture, were how someone’s appearance was recorded prior to the advent of photography, are at least as old as Ancient Egypt. In the Netherlands, landscapes were a major theme for painters as early as the 1500s. Later, artists in Greece, Rome and elsewhere created vast wall paintings to decorate stately homes, churches and tombs. Today, creating a wall of art is a wonderful way to enhance your space, showcase beautiful pieces and tie an interior design together.

No matter your preference, whether you favor Post-Impressionist paintings, animal paintings, Surrealism, Pop art or another movement or specific period, arranging art on a blank wall allows you to evoke emotions in a room while also showing off your tastes and interests. A symmetrical wall arrangement may comprise a grid of four to six pieces or, for an odd number of works, a horizontal row. Asymmetrical arrangements, which may be small clusters of art or large, salon-style gallery walls, have a more collected and eclectic feel. Download the 1stDibs app, which includes a handy “View on Wall” feature that allows you to see how a particular artwork will look on a particular wall, and read about how to arrange wall art. And if you’re searching for the perfect palette for your interior design project, what better place to turn than to the art world’s masters of color?

On 1stDibs, you’ll find an expansive collection of paintings and other fine art for your home or office. Browse abstract paintings, portrait paintings, paintings by popular artists and more today.
