"The Concert, " Oil on Canvas Portrait of Monks Playing Instruments

"The Concert" is an original oil painting on canvas by Thure Cederstrom. It features four men playing music together in a monastery. Artwork Size: 15" x 20.62" Frame Size: 22" x 27.5" Artist Bio: Thure Nikolaus Cederström, born June 25, 1843 at Åryd's mill, Hemmesjö parish, died May 21, 1924 in Munich, was a Swedish freighter, artist and military. Thure Cederström was the son of Count Claes Anton Cederström and Catharina Fredrika Aschan and cousin of Gustaf Cederström. He first trained in the military profession and was appointed lieutenant at Livgardet on horseback in 1868. He applied for leave in 1871 to devote himself entirely to art and began art studies in 1868-1869 through studies for Hugo Salmson in Paris, France. He then studied in Germany in Düsseldorf, Weimar and Munich in 1872–1877. The city of Munich also became his home life. He participated in the Art Academy's exhibitions several times during the 1880s. At an art exhibition in London in 1879 he was awarded a bronze medal. At the international art exhibitions in Munich he was Swedish-Norwegian Commissioner in 1883, Swedish Commissioner in 1888 and a member of the prize jury in 1892.

At the Spring
By Joshua Shaw
Located in New York, NY
Joshua Shaw was a farmer’s son, born in Billingborough, Lincolnshire, and orphaned at the age of seven. After a boyhood of privation, he tried a number of occupations, until he finally apprenticed to a sign painter and found his métier. Shaw went to Manchester to study art, and by 1802 was in Bath, painting landscapes. In that year he began to exhibit his work at the Royal Academy in London. Essentially self-taught, Shaw achieved an impressive level of competence and versatility, producing portraits, floral compositions, still lifes, landscapes, and, cattle pieces. Shaw continued to send works for exhibition at the Royal Academy, the British Institution, and the Suffolk Street Gallery, all in London, until 1841. (Although Shaw is regularly mentioned and frequently illustrated in a host of general books on American art history, as well as included in numerous historical survey exhibitions, the only monographic study of this artist is Miriam Carroll Woods, “Joshua Shaw [1776–1860]: A Study of the Artist and his Paintings” [M.A. thesis, University of California at Los Angeles, 1971]. Apart from short biographical sketches in various dictionaries and museum collection catalogues, the two most interesting references, both contemporary, are John Sartain’s personal recollections in The Reminiscences of a Very Old Man, 1808–1897 [1899; reprint 1969] and an article in Scientific American from August 7, 1869, “Joshua Shaw, Artist and Inventor.” The article quotes extensively from an autobiographical document in the possession of Shaw’s grandson that Shaw prepared for William Dunlap...

Peek-a-Boo
Located in New York, NY
In the latter half of the nineteenth century and into the first decade of the twentieth, New York City art aficionados could count on finding recent work of Seymour Joseph Guy hanging on the walls of the city’s major galleries. Primarily a genre artist, but also a portraitist, between 1859 and 1908 Guy showed more than seventy works at the National Academy of Design. From 1871 to 1903 he contributed over seventy times to exhibitions at the Century Club. From 1864 to 1887, he sent about forty pictures to the Brooklyn Art Association. A good number of these works were already privately owned; they served as advertisements for other pictures that were available for sale. Some pictures were shown multiple times in the same or different venues. Guy was as easy to find as his canvases were omnipresent. Though he lived at first in Brooklyn with his family and then in New Jersey, from 1863 to his death in 1910 he maintained a studio at the Artist’s Studio Building at 55 West 10th Street, a location that was, for much of that period, the center of the New York City art world. Guy’s path to a successful career as an artist was by no means smooth or even likely. Born in Greenwich, England, he was orphaned at the age of nine. His early interest in art was discouraged by his legal guardian, who wanted a more settled trade for the young man. Only after the guardian also died was Guy free to pursue his intention of becoming an artist. The details of Guy’s early training in art are unclear. His first teacher is believed to have been Thomas Buttersworth...
