River Landscape with Travelers Resting Next to a Tree and Ruins. Late 18th century
Late 18th century
About the Item
Sun set in a river landscape with travelers resting next to a large tree and some ruins. In the background, a church and some other buildings and ruins in front of mountains towering up in the misty background. Attributed to Christian Georg Schütz I (1718-1791). Oil on relined canvas. Although not signed, very much his style.
In 1731 Schütz a began a four-year apprenticeship with the Frankfurt facade painter Hugo Schlegel and was then able to further develop his skills and ultimately become a student of the court painter Giuseppe Appiani. Around 1740 he settled in Frankfurt af Main. Initially busy with facade and decorative paintings, Schütz soon painted landscapes and vedutas in oil. The Frankfurt collector Heinrich Jacob von Häckel (1682–1760) is considered to be his early supporter. Häckel acquired over 40 of his paintings, and in his cabinet Schütz first became acquainted with river landscapes by Herman Saftleven as a formative model. Around 1750, Schütz travelled along the Rhine Valley. Topographical details and the atmosphere of the region continued to influence his river landscapes, which alternated between ideal and reality, until the end.
He also subsequently worked in princely courts. Commissions, including for the Electors of Mainz, and many more patrons of power.
An extensive number of easel paintings were created on canvas, wood and copper panels, often as pendants, which were extremely popular with collectors.
In his river landscapes and ruins, lifelike cityscapes, church interiors and occasional night scenes, Schütz drew on Dutch models, but also on Italian vedutas.

Located in Stockholm, SE
A fine landscape with horses resting by some trees and some farmers working the soil by Frants Peter Diderik Henningsen (1850 - 1908). Oil on canvas. Signed with monogram "FH" and dated 1898.
Henningsen was a Danish painter and draftsman.
In 1870, he was admitted to C. V. Nielsen's drawing school and then the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, from which he received his graduation certificate in 1875.

Immediately after the academy, he traveled with academy scholarships to Germany, later to France in 1877-1878, where he applied to Léon Bonnat's school in Paris, and from where in the spring of 1878 he made a trip to Spain together with P.S. Krøyer, Frans Schwartz...
