About the Item
Ditlev Martens was a Danish artist who lived from 1795 to 1864, creating a series of impressive paintings that continue to captivate and inspire viewers today. One of his beautiful creations is "The Cloister of Santa Maria del Paradiso, Viterbo".
This beautiful painting truly captures Martens' ability to create atmospheric and detailed artworks. With impressive precision and realism, he depicts the Santa Maria del Paradiso cloister in Viterbo, Italy, where every detail seems to play an important role in conveying a sense of devotion and tranquility.
The peaceful and serene atmosphere of the cloister is palpable when viewing this painting, as if one were actually there in person. Martens' use of color and light is truly impressive, creating a sense of harmony and balance that is difficult to find in other artworks.
Martens' journey to Italy in 1823 was a pivotal event in his artistic career. During his time in Italy, he was fascinated by the classical art and architecture surrounding him, and was inspired to develop his own style.
Martens was particularly impressed by Renaissance painting, and many of his later works reflect this influence. "The Cloister of Santa Maria del Paradiso, Viterbo" is an excellent example of this, with its use of light and shadow to create an illusion of space and depth.
Martens' journey to Italy was also a time of personal growth for him. He deepened his knowledge of art, literature, and music, and developed a lifelong interest in Italian culture. It was also during this time that he met his future wife, Italian actress Adelaide Ristori, who would later inspire him in his artistic works.
So when you admire "The Cloister of Santa Maria del Paradiso, Viterbo", you can not only appreciate Martens' fantastic technical skills and artistic talent but also think about his journey to Italy and how this trip impacted his life and career. The painting is a testament to Martens' mastery of Renaissance painting techniques and his ability to capture the essence of Italian culture in his art.

- The Grape Seller - Workshop of Jacob OchterveltLocated in Stockholm, SEJacob Ochtervelt (Workshop) The Grape Seller oil on canvas unframed: 80.7 x 61 cm.; 31 ¾ x 24 in. framed: 109.5 x 89 cm.; 43 1/8 x 35 in. Essay: This captivating piece, originating from the studio of the revered Dutch artist Jacob Ochtervelt, mirrors the composition of a signed and dated 1669 canvas by Ochtervelt that is presently housed in the Hermitage museum. Its subject, "The Grape Seller" immerses us in a typical 17th-century interior, replete with characters from various strata of society. At the center, a fruit vendor is depicted bending over to weigh grapes for the buyer. A child hands some of the grapes to her mother to taste, their attentive maid standing by. The backdrop showcases typical Ochtervelt details: a hint of the city visible through the doorway, light filtering in through an overhead window, and a playful dog at their side. The exquisite quality of the piece is evident in the minutiae, such as the intricate detailing of the mother's earring, which in reality spans only a few millimeters yet boasts impressive attention to detail. Initially, Sotheby's considered this work to be an autograph piece by Ochtervelt. But due to some uncertainty, it was auctioned as Workshop of Jacob Ochtervelt. On the other hand, the esteemed Cabinet Turquin in Paris leans toward attributing the piece directly to Jacob Ochtervelt himself. The painting is framed in an authentic period frame, which has been delicately restored by Stockholm's Förgyllning och Bildhuggeri. The frame retains its age-old patina and, while in used condition, has minor imperfections adding to its charm. Another interesting thing worth to mention is the painting's provenance. It was once owned by the 1st Viscount Rothermere (1868-1940), the founder of the Daily Mail and Daily Mirror...Category
