About the Item

Training the New Puppy by Henri Charles Antoine Baron (1816-1885) oil painting on panel, period gilt frame with name plaque panel: 13 x 9.5 inches provenance: private collection, France Baron studied art with Jean Gigoux, who heavily influenced his work. His debut at the Salon came in 1840. He would exhibit there frequently and win numerous medals. In 1846, the Duke of Aumale commissioned him to paint a decorative panel, depicting Chantilly in the 16th century, for the Duke's room at the Château de Chantilly. Four years later, his painting of a scene from the ballet Les Noces de Gamache, by Louis Milon, was purchased by the state. His regular trips to Italy inspired many of his works. In 1852, he married Octavie Bovy, daughter of the Swiss sculptor and engraver, Antoine Bovy . As a result of this familial connection, he was hired to participate in the restoration of the decorations at the Château de Gruyères (Canton de Fribourg). He was also a regular participant of the Salon in Lyon. After 1862, he was an active member of the Société des amis des arts. Five years later, the Empress Eugénie commissioned him to portray the festival at the Palais des Tuileries that was held during the Exposition Universelle. This was presented at the Salon of 1868. His painting, "The Winter", was part of a major exhibit at the Exposition Universelle of 1878. He was a regular collaborator with François-Louis Français and, together, they founded the revue Les artistes contemporains. He, Français, Gigoux and Célestin Nanteuil were co-creators of many compositions, notably for the lithography workshop and publishing firm of Bertauts. Shortly after being named a Chevalier in the Legion of Honor, he died in Geneva, where he had maintained a part-time home since his marriage. His brother, Jules-Aimable Baron (1814-1899), was also a designer and lithographer.

  • English 19th century portrait of two seated King Charles Cavalier Spaniels dogs
    By James Cassie
    Located in Woodbury, CT
    James Cassie was born at Keithhall near Inverurie, Aberdeenshire, the son of a prosperous tea and spirit merchant. Although briefly a pupil of the artist James Giles, Cassie was largely self-taught. He began his career as a painter of animals and portraits, but on moving to Aberdeen he increasingly turned his attention to local seascapes and coastal scenes, especially at dawn and sunset. He favored these outdoor scenes but continued to paint some domestic subjects and portraits throughout his life. In 1869 he moved to Edinburgh and was elected an associate of the Royal Scottish Academy. Shortly before his death in 1879 he was elected an Academician. This piece is framed in its original frame and the painting is signed lower right and inscribed on the reverse. From the inscription on the reverse, this painting was purchased from an important house sale...

  • 'Attilla' A Chestnut Horse in a Stable
    By John Frederick Herring Sr.
    Located in St. Albans, GB
    Canvas Size: 28 x 36" (71 x 91cm) Outside Frame Size 36 x 44" (91 x 111cm) It is signed on the middle right on the wooden window. This is a stunning painting of a racehorse signed and dated J F Herring Sen 1842. The horse is named above the water trough as Attilla. As Herring was a renowned painter of racehorses it is likely that this was done for a wealthy patron who owned several. Although he painted many of the winners of the St. Ledger Cup Attilla was not one of these. Free carriage worldwide John Frederick HERRING Snr 1795 – 1865 A sporting painter, born in Surrey of American/Dutch extraction. At first he was a sign and coach painter. He then worked as a stable boy and coachman in Yorkshire until with the help of patrons he was able to study with Abraham Cooper RA, the only art education he appears to have had. He specialised in racing subjects and his few hunting scenes are rare. Herring painted the start of the 1844 Derby, which became known as ‘the dirtiest Derby in history’. He sometimes collaborated with his three sons, J.F.Jnr, Benjamin Jnr and Charles. He also collaborated with James Pollard on a number of racing scenes inc. ‘The Doncaster Gold Cup’, 1838, ‘The Emperor of Russia’s Cup at Ascot’ 1845 and ‘The Dead Heat for the Doncaster Great St. Ledger’ 1849 Herring painted 33 successive winners of the St. Ledger and not surprisingly lived a large part of his life in the Doncaster area before settling in Newmarket in 1830 and then in London in 1835. He suffered serious financial difficulties after his move to London which, thanks to a great friend and patron William Taylor Copeland (1797 – 1868) head of the Spode Porcelain factory at Stoke on Trent, was resolved. He painted many pictures of the Copeland family, some of which were adapted and used as designs on the Spode china...
