"Superior (Great Lakes), " Oil on Panel, 2023
Located in Chicago, IL
This abstract work by Chicago artist Patrick Fitzgerald belongs to a series of “track paintings” that materialize the imagined tracks navigated by his miniature soap-box car sculptures. Inspired by slot-car racetracks, each painting depicts a meandering, yet cyclical path that twists and turns upon itself in an endless loop. Isolated from time and place, the painting achieves a sense of timelessness and draws a through line linking the past, the present, and the future. Entitled "Superior," this track painting is one of five compositions inspired by the Great Lakes...

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...

ABSTRACT Artwork by Spanish Artist Pau Escat 2022
Located in BARCELONA, ES
Pau Escat is a contemporary artist who lives and works in Barcelona. His work investigates color and light in contact with materials, specifically the visual effect that this generates. His interest in observing these processes comes from two fields that have always been in his life: nature and jewelry. At first, one would say that they belong to opposing fields -the natural and the intervened, the wild and the domesticated, the living and the stony- but for the artist, they constitute the basis of the same way of looking and creating. Nature, especially landscapes and atmospheres, allows him to express both the physical space, where effects such as color and light occur, and the intimate space, where color and light are associated with emotions. In this sense, the artist is interested in the pictorial tradition that, from a particular appreciation of landscape and nature, is a precursor of abstraction. In particular, his work focuses on the Dutch landscape painters...

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.
