Painting Young man lighting a pipe 18th century

1700s

About the Item

Oil on Canvas. The painting offers a half-length portrait of a young man in deshabillé who is lighting his pipe by drawing fire with a stick from the candle placed in front of him on the table where a sword also rests: perhaps this is a young knight in a moment of rest. It is precisely the candle, the only source of light in the scene, that suggests that the artist was looking to the production of Georges De La Tour (1593 -1652), the French Caravaggesque-style painter who became known for his "nocturnal" scenes, characterized by figures, usually low-ranking people rather than historical models or high-ranking figures, illuminated by candlelight, to create a special atmosphere of intimacy. The painting, restored and re-framed, is presented in a styled frame.

"Mary in the Garden" Oil painting Garden w Holy Statue Icon, American Cowboy
By Carl Bretzke
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
An oil painting of a rural property on a sunny day in the United States. A man wears a cowboy hat, a denim shirt, bandana over his face, and boots, while holding a shotgun. He's walking with determination to the left of the scene, with a medium sized black dog following him in tow. The bed of a pickup truck catches light in the distance, parked beside the residential structure. A farmhouse with a metal roof, and a wide-hooded porch, stands tall, offering shade and comfort, especially with cushioned armchairs to sit on out-front. A few electrical poles reach up towards the sky, confirming the contemporary time frame. In the foreground, a garden is fenced in with wire and wood. A statuette of the Virgin Mary is placed within this fenced garden, absorbing sunlight alongside the plants. An apt depiction of contemporary Americana...
