About the Item

Edward LADELL Picture Size: 20 x 16" (50 x 40cm) Outside Frame Size: 26 x 22" (65 x 55cm) An exquisite example of Ladell's painting. Signed with his traditional stylistic monogram, this painting boasts the luscious flowers and rich, sweet looking fruit on a marble ledge with an ivory jar that he is famous for. Free shipping 1821 - 1886 Edward Ladell’s obituary in The Essex County Standard considered him ‘the foremost man of his day in fruit painting.’ He was entirely self-taught, having initially followed the profession of his father, Christmas Ladell, as a coachbuilder. A native of Colchester, he moved to Torquay and later to Exeter where he took a studio at 20 Queen’s Street. He exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1856 and 1886, and also at the British Institute, the Royal Society of British Artists, Suffolk Street and local West Country venues. Ladell became immensely successful and the finest English still life painter of his generation. Ladell specialised in still lifes composed of fruit, flowers and a variety of objects including glass, tankards, china vases and bird’s nests. His technique achieved an astonishing degree of realism. Ladell’s paintings are always easily recognisable as he used to use the same articles over and over again on a marble ledge draped with an oriental rug. His work was much sought after and they often ensured flattering notices from the leading representative journals. His biographer Frank Lewis writes: ‘he paints with the fidelity of an old Dutchman and with the brilliancy of colour all of his own. A dead duck lying upon a board, as represented by Mr. Ladell, is a duck indeed...maybe it’s a branch from a raspberry bush laid carefully down, and while the fruit is round and luscious, over-ripe or scarcely ripe, the leaves whether fresh or fading, are represented with a verisimilitude that is marvellous.’ His wife, Ellen Maria Ladell, neé Levitt, whom he married in 1878, was also a painter and worked from 1856 to 1898. She painted in a style almost identical to her husband’s however she usually signed with her full name, whereas Edward used the EL monogram back-to-back. The work of Ladell is represented in the Bristol City Art Gallery, the Colchester and Essex Museum, the Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Essex, the Harrogate City Art Gallery, the Reading City Art Gallery and the Mappin Art Gallery, Sheffield.

'Still Life with Flower Vase on a Table' by David De Noter (1818 – 1892)
Located in Knokke, BE
David De Noter Ghent 1818 – 1892 Bologhine Belgian Painter 'Still Life with a Lapis Lazuli Coloured Flower Vase on a Table' Signature: signed lower right 'David De Noter' Medium: oil on panel Dimensions: image size 35 x 27 cm, frame size 41,5 x 34 cm Biography: David De Noter was born in Ghent on June 24, 1818, and passed away in Saint Eugène Bologhine, Algiers, on January 21, 1892. He was a renowned Belgian painter, celebrated for his detailed still lifes and interior scenes. Born in Ghent, he was the son of Jan-Baptist De Noter, a draftsman and architect, from whom he received his early artistic training. His mother, Carola Maya, married Jan-Baptist shortly before David’s birth. He had a brother, Michaël, who tragically passed away at a young age (1821-1823), and two sisters, Anne-Marie and Edalie. In 1840, De Noter moved to Brussels, and five years later, on November 25, 1845, he married Clemence Wauters in Mechelen. Together, they had seven children. His son Raphaël would also become a painter. By the 1860s, De Noter had relocated to Paris, where it is believed he shared a studio with the well-known art dealer J. Goupil around 1864. In his later years, De Noter and his family moved to Algiers, North Africa, where he contributed a floral still life to the Algiers Museum in 1870. By around 1879, he was living in Le Nador, near Marengo. David De Noter is primarily celebrated for his exquisite still lifes featuring flowers, vegetables, seafood, game, and fruit. He also painted detailed kitchen and salon interiors, as well as genre scenes, often with a strong focus on still life elements within the broader composition. His style combined meticulous realism with a romantic atmosphere, capturing both the beauty and mood of his subjects. During his time in Algiers, De Noter began painting local scenes, including views of the Kasbah of Algiers. Throughout his career, De Noter collaborated with notable artists such as Henri Leys, Guillaume Koller, Louis Tuerlinckx, and Alfred Stevens. His works remain highly valued on the art market today. His paintings were exhibited in various cities, including Kortrijk, Brussels, Rotterdam, The Hague, and Paris. In 1854, he was awarded a gold medal at an exhibition in Brussels. David De Noter’s artwork has been exhibited in prestigious galleries and museums across Europe, showcasing the enduring appeal of his detailed and romantic still life paintings. His works can be found in the permanent collections of several important institutions, including: Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, Brussels; Musée des Beaux-Arts, Cambrai; Stedelijk Museum, Kortrijk; Art Gallery, Leeds; John Selbach Museum, Maaseik; Museum Hof van Busleyden, Mechelen; Musée des Beaux-Arts, Mulhouse; Municipal Collection, Schaerbeek; Museo Revoltella, Trieste; Museo Municipal “Quiñones de León...
