About the Item

**PLEASE NOTE: EACH PAINTING INCLUDING THE FRAME MEASURES 15.25 INCHES X 23.25 INCHES** Anton Schoth Austrian, (1843-1905) Valetta, Malta & Constantinople Oil on canvas, pair, both signed (each) Image size: 9.5 inches x 17.5 inches (each) Size including frame: 15.25 inches x 23.25 inches A pair of harbour scenes of Valetta, Malta and Constantinople (Istambul) by Anton Schoth. The first painting depicts a view of Valetta harbour with its famous fortifications. In the foreground, a group of figures can be seen beside fishing boats on the shore, whilst a passenger ship is shown sailing out of the harbour. The second painting shows the harbour at Istambul which was originally called Constantinople at the time of this painting. A group of fishing boats with figures are shown in the foreground with other larger ships nearby. In the distance can be seen the distinctive architecture of the Yeni Camii Mosque, alongside other buildings of the city. Anton Schoth or Captain Anton Schoth was one of the many pseudonyms of Karl Kaufmann. Karl Kaufmann was born in Neuplachowitz, Austria in 1843. He studied at the Vienna Academy of Art and after completing his education travelled throughout Europe to paint scenes in Germany, Italy, Norway and the Netherlands. He began to specialise in landscapes, architectural and marine paintings and developed a feeling for atmosphere in his works. He also visited Venice and Istanbul on a number of occasions and there started to produce Venetian and Oriental scenes for which he has become best known. Another remarkable feature of his paintings is that he often signed his work with a pseudonym and had over 30 that he would use including: ‘L. Bertini’, ‘Henri Carnier’, 'C. Charpentier‘, ‘F. Gilbert’, ‘ J. Holmstedt’, ‘B. Lambert', 'Charles Marchand', ‘E. Perla’, ‘K. Naruk’, ‘F. Rodek’, ‘J. Rollin’, ‘K. Schwartz’, ‘Theodore Walter’, ‘ L Voigt’ and many more. Pseudonyms were often used by an artist avoid conflict with galleries they were commissioned to work for. They were also used when an artist was living and working in another country. Kaufmann died in Vienna on 27 April, 1905. Examples of his works can be found in public collections including the Russell-Coates Museum and Historic Waco Foundation, Texas. Presentation: The paintings are housed in new, English made gilt frames which are in excellent condition. Condition: As with all of our original antique oil paintings, these works are offered in ready to hang gallery condition, having been professionally cleaned, restored and revarnished. © Benton Fine Art

By Pieter Cornelis Dommersen
Located in Nr Broadway, Worcestershire
**PLEASE NOTE: EACH PAINTING INCLUDING THE FRAME MEASURES 18.5 INCHES X 22.5 INCHES** Pieter Cornelis Dommersen Dutch, (1833-1918) Goeser Veerhuis with Goes in the Distance & Elburg on the Zuiderzee Oil on panel, pair, both signed & dated 1904 with wax seals verso Image size: 11.5 inches x 15.5 inches (each) Size including frame: 18.5 inches x 22.5 inches (each) A wonderful pair of seascape paintings by Pieter Cornelis Dommersen. The first painting depicts the Goeser Veerhuis or Goes Ferry House on the left with the Dutch town of Goes in the distance. The ferry house was a popular landing stage for barges and fishing boats. Goes church, with its distinctive spire can be seen in the far distance. The second painting is of Elburg, a fishing port on the east shore of the Zuiderzee in the Dutch province of Gelderland. Dommersen often returned to these areas to paint when he travelled back to the Netherlands and these fine examples were most likely painted on one of these trips. Pieter Cornelis Dommersen was born Pieter Cornelis Dommershuizen or Dommerhershuisen on 6 December, 1833 in Utrecht, Holland. Little is known about his father and he appears to have been brought up solely by his mother Cornelia into an artistic family. His younger brother was the artist Cornelis Christian...
