About the Item
Carel VAN FALENS (Attributed to) Antwerp, 1683 – Paris, 1733 Oil on canvas 12.7 x 20.3 cm (17.8 x 25.4 cm with frame) Trace of signature in the center above the horse's head "V F." (see photo) Inscription on the back "CASTAREDE"
Our painting is typical of the small paintings of the Flemish painter Carel Van Falens. His genre scenes with elegant riders here crossing a river are generally signed. Here a half-erased monogram appears above the head of the white horse where we recognize the "F" in the characteristic writing and the beginning of the "V" curved to the left to continue the "C" as in the signature of the initials of Carel van Falens "CV F.". Carel van Falens was a Flemish painter who studied with Constantyns Francken in Antwerp before moving to Paris – as his master had done – where he made his career from 1703. He was also a painter of battles and genre scenes with horses at the King's court, for the Duke of Orléans in particular, and a member of the Royal Academy of Painting. As a result, many of his paintings can be found in French collections.
Van Falens has sometimes been confused with the famous Philip Wouvermans, even though the latter is a 17th-century painter who could have been his grandfather! But Van Falens takes up in his compositions the range of colours (his browns, beiges, blues and oranges in particular) and the canon of the horses, very beautiful horses in particular of a beautiful white and always very well drawn. And Carel van Falens' father was a captain in the local militia in Antwerp. And he also took this yellow light, Italian like from his predecessor. But the coloring is less bright and more various. And Van Falens shows a taste for small realistic details that is more modern (for example here, the details of the rider's costume and the young rider's umbrella, and the water splashing the horse that is about to cross the river). Also caracteristic are the two dogs following the horses.
A handwritten inscription on the back of the frame seems to indicate that this painting belonged to the Castarède family. The Castarède family is a wealthy trading house founded in 1832 in the Armagnac region in Sout West of France.

"A River Landscape with Wild Horses", Victorian original, oil on canvas
By John Frederick Herring Jr
Located in Naples, Florida
This is an original unique oil painting by the artist. Born into an artistic family in Doncaster, England during 1820. Best known for his equine art, of the same character as those of the elder Herring, including "The Home Farm," "The Homestead," "The Farm-Yard," etc.John F. Herring, Jr. was born in Doncaster, South Yorkshire c.1820, to the well-known 19th-century artist John Frederick Herring, Sr. (1795-1865), who at the time, was considered one of England's great Sporting and Equestrian artists, patronized by the English aristocracy. The father's mastery of the brush, and popularity with the nobility, served his son, Herring, Jr., well. Early on, John, Jr. was exposed to fine painting and wealthy patrons. Recent reference books state that Herring, Sr.'s first child was named "John Frederick Herring, Jr." and was born on June 21, 1815. John Herring, Jr. developed a love for painting, a passion also shared by his brothers Charles and Benjamin. Three of the
four brothers became artists, painting in the same style as their father, often collaborating on a single painting. In the years after 1836, Herring, Sr., feeling threatened by the teenage John Herring, Jr.'s ability and growing popularity, began incorporating the tag "SR" at the end of his signature. John Herring, Jr. continued painting in the tradition of his father, the sporting and animal pictures...
