Gustaf Brandelius
A Young Woman With Her Animals, Original Oil Painting From 1862

1862

About the Item

This painting by Gustaf Brandelius, a 19th-century Swedish artist, evokes the pastoral tranquility and rural life of the era. Brandelius was not only a painter but also served in the military, rising to the rank of captain before his resignation. The scene depicted is serene and typical of his genre works, showcasing his skill in animal motifs, which sometimes extend into landscape painting. In this particular piece, we observe a young woman tending to a cow, with a rural backdrop suggesting a farmstead or village life. The vivid colors and dynamic brushwork reflect Brandelius's talent for imbuing his subjects with a sense of character and humor. His works are well-regarded for their spirited execution and robust color palette. Educated at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts, Brandelius furthered his studies in Düsseldorf under Carl d'Unker and in Paris. His accomplishments in the art world were recognized with several honors, including being made an agré of the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in 1864 and later a member and court painter in 1874. Brandelius's work was internationally recognized, represented at the 1876 art exhibition in Philadelphia with the painting "Adventure on a Walk." Posthumously, a commemorative exhibition in Stockholm in 1888 celebrated his contributions to art. Today, his works are held in prestigious collections, including those of Uppsala University Library, Västergötlands Museum, Gothenburg Museum of Art, Norrköping's Art Museum, and the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm. info: oil on canvas signed G.Brandelius dated on the canvas stretcher 1862 unframed 9.45 x 12.6 inches (24 x 32 cm) framed 13.78 x 16.93 inches (35 x 43 cm) Provenance: A Swedish private collection.

  • Shepherd with Sheep, Cows and a Goat in a Landscape by Jan Frans Soolmaker
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    This painting depicts a pastoral scene that is attributed to the artist Jan Frans Soolmaker, an artist known for his Italianate landscapes and scenes that often feature equestrian and Arcadian elements. The painting is not signed but is attributed to Soolmaker, relating it to a known signed work by the artist that was sold at Sotheby’s London in 1999. The scene is suffused with the warm glow of a setting or rising sun, casting a soft light that is characteristic of Soolmaker’s landscapes. It shows a shepherd guiding a group of cattle across a shallow stream, with the animals taking center stage in the composition. The animals are rendered with careful attention to their forms and the play of light on their bodies, which is a hallmark of Soolmaker's work. The landscape is composed of a rocky terrain with trees and shrubbery, creating a sense of depth and natural beauty that invites the viewer to explore the scene further. The background suggests a vast, open landscape with distant mountains, which adds to the Italianate feel of the painting. The sky is dramatic, with clouds catching the light of the sun, contributing to the overall serene yet dynamic atmosphere of the work. The provenance of the painting is notable, having been in the possession of significant historical figures such as Swedish Prince Fredrik Adolf, and later The collection of Pär Ulmgren, The collection of Gösta Stenman, and Engineer and politician Gustaf Henry Hansson. Potential buyers have the option of choosing between a newly made gold frame or an older brown frame, which allows for personalization in how the work is presented. Soolmaker’s work is often compared to that of Dutch painter Nicolaes Berchem, whose style he emulated. Soolmaker's landscapes reflect a similar sensitivity to light and composition, making his works sought after for their beauty and historical significance. Despite the smaller body of work left by Soolmaker, due to his short career, his paintings are valued for their craftsmanship and the legacy of the artist’s brief but impactful contribution to the Dutch Italianate landscape genre.
