For an artist of such ability, popularity and wide output, information about Samuel Jones is comparatively scarce. Samual John Egbert Jones was born in 1797. Living in London, the first recorded mention of him was as an exhibitor at the Royal Academy in 1820 with a picture of an old mare, which he later exhibited at the British Institute in 1824. Jones is best known for the fine quality of his sporting pictures, mainly portraits of hunting and work horses. Additionally, he painted coaching...

Jules VALADON
(Paris 1826 - Paris 1900)
Noli me tangere (?)
Oil on mahogany panel
H. 19 cm; L. 35 cm
Signed lower left
Provenance: Private collection, Paris
Student of Michel Martin Drolling, Lehmann or even Cogniet in 1846, the young son of a Parisian architect will begin his exhibitions at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1857. Jules Valadon will obtain there several medals and will see his reputation embellished by his portraits and expression heads.
We see in this mystical-looking landscape, a representation of a passage from the Gospel of saint John, during the resurrection of Christ, himself addressing Mary Magdalene. The saint is on her knees beside Christ and addresses him not believing in his presence among the living. After some exchanges, at 20.17: Dicit ei Jesus: "Noli me tangere, nondum enim ascendi ad Patrem meum: vade autem ad fratres meos, and dic eis: Ascendo ad Patrem meum, and Patrem vestrum, Deum meum, and Deum vestrum . "Christ said to Mary Magdalene" Do not touch me, I have not yet ascended to the father ".
In the history of art, this passage from the Gospel is known by the famous paintings of Boticelli, Giotto, Fra Angelico, il Corregio, Poussin, Véronèse and more recently by Maurice Denis and some painters replacing the subject at the end. from the 19th century. These late representations are not always perfectly readable by compositions inked in landscapes that are sometimes more important than the subject. This is also what we assume for our panel, with the desert mountains that can represent the location of the Holy Sepulcher...

Figurative Paintings for Sale
Figurative art, as opposed to abstract art, retains features from the observable world in its representational depictions of subject matter. Most commonly, figurative paintings reference and explore the human body, but they can also include landscapes, architecture, plants and animals — all portrayed with realism.
While the oldest figurative art dates back tens of thousands of years to cave wall paintings, figurative works made from observation became especially prominent in the early Renaissance. Artists like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and other Renaissance masters created naturalistic representations of their subjects.
Pablo Picasso is lauded for laying the foundation for modern figurative art in the 1920s. Although abstracted, this work held a strong connection to representing people and other subjects. Other famous figurative artists include Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud. Figurative art in the 20th century would span such diverse genres as Expressionism, Pop art and Surrealism.
Today, a number of figural artists — such as Sedrick Huckaby, Daisy Patton and Eileen Cooper — are making art that uses the human body as its subject.
Because figurative art represents subjects from the real world, natural colors are common in these paintings. A piece of figurative art can be an exciting starting point for setting a tone and creating a color palette in a room.
