18th Century Oil on Canvas Italian Antique Painting Monks Praying in a Cave1720
1720
About the Item
Splendid Italian painting from the first half of the 18th century. Oil on canvas artwork depicting a scene of hermit life of Franciscan friars in attitudes of deep prayer. The mystical atmosphere transports us inside a cave, a place of penance and ascetic practice. The painting recalls the Genoese school and the circle of Alessandro Magnasco (1667-1749), famous for his representations of monastic scenes with distorted figures and a rapid and nervous pictorial stroke (the painting is currently not accompanied by expertise, but it is possible to obtain it upon payment of the relevant additional costs). 20th century frame in carved and gilded wood, beautifully decorated, with some signs of aging. Artwork already restored with relining, replacement of the frame and recoloring in small spots. Overall in good condition. Internal size H 57 x W 70 cm.

The Tree by the Lake, Värmland, By Racken Group Artist Ture Ander
Located in Stockholm, SE
This painting by Ture Ander, created in 1917, depicts a serene landscape from Värmland, Sweden. At the center of the composition is a large tree, likely a deciduous species, as suggested by the hints of autumn seen in both the tree and the meadow below it. The short brushstrokes used to depict the leaves and grass evoke a sense of movement and texture, typical of the early 20th-century artistic style. Another beautiful detail is the bluish-tinted forested mountains in the background, creating a sense of depth and tranquility.
Ture Ander played a significant role in the Racken group (Rackstadkolonin), an important artistic collective in Sweden at the time. Ander was born on September 17 in Askers socken, Örebro. At the age of 13, he became an apprentice painter in Stockholm, attending evening classes at the Technical School (now known as Konstfack) while working during the day. He earned his journeyman’s certificate in 1902, and the following year, he graduated from the Technical School with the highest honors in painting. In 1905, he was accepted into the Konstnärsförbundets skola (School of the Artists' Association), where he studied alongside notable artists like Leander Engström, Isaac Grünewald, and Einar Nerman...
