Jan Both (1610–1652) – Attributed
"Argus and Mercury"
Circa 1650
Oil on canvas
Framed: 107.5 x 92 cm
This exceptional Baroque mythological painting is attributed to the renowned Dutch Italianate landscape painter Jan Both, in collaboration with Jan Baptist Weenix and Nikolaus Knüpfer. The scene is inspired by Ovid’s Metamorphoses, capturing the dramatic moment in which Mercury, sent by Jupiter, lulls the watchful Argus to sleep with his flute before delivering the fatal blow to free Io, still depicted in the background as a cow.
Executed with masterful chiaroscuro, the composition blends dramatic storytelling with an expansive Italianate landscape, a hallmark of Both’s style. The rich golden light and fluid brushwork reflect the artist’s exposure to Claude Lorrain’s influence during his time in Rome. This theme was one that Both returned to multiple times throughout his career, with similar versions held in the collections of the Alte Pinakothek in Munich and the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.
Notably, an old frame label attributes the painting to "J. Both, J. B. Weenix, N. Knüpfer", suggesting a collaboration in which Both painted the sweeping landscape, Knüpfer handled the figures, and Weenix contributed the animal elements. The painting has undergone conservation, as indicated by a restoration plate from C. B. van Bohemen, The Hague (1930) on the reverse.
Condition: Wax-lined and restored with evident craquelure. The original ornate stucco frame has been reduced to fit the painting’s dimensions, with signs of wear.
A remarkable collector’s piece, offering both historical significance and investment value.

"Landscape with waterfall"
Located in Edinburgh, GB
Josef Höger (1801–1877)
"Landscape with Waterfall"
This captivating 19th-century oil painting by Josef Höger, an esteemed Austrian landscape painter, presents a tranquil yet dynamic natural scene featuring a rustic watermill and cascading waterfall. The composition is enriched by lush greenery, a meandering country path, and distant mountain peaks, evoking the grandeur of the European countryside. The artist’s delicate handling of light and shadow enhances the depth of the scene, lending it both realism and an almost romantic atmosphere.
Höger was known for his precise yet poetic depictions of landscapes, drawing inspiration from the picturesque regions of Austria and Central Europe. His works often reflect the transition from Classical to Romantic landscape painting, emphasizing both the grandeur and serenity of nature. His ability to capture the interplay of water, foliage, and atmospheric perspective is evident in this finely executed piece.

"Western Lake Landscape, " John Fery, Hudson River School View
By John Fery
Located in New York, NY
John Fery (1859 - 1934)
Western Lake Landscape, circa 1920
Oil on canvas
21 x 23 1/4 inches
Signed lower left
Provenance:
Private Collection, New York
Born in Austria, John Fery earned a strong reputation for dramatic paintings of western mountain landscape in the United States. Glacier National Park in northwest Montana was a popular subject for him.
He was raised in a prominent, wealthy family that lived on an estate about nineteen miles northeast of Salzburg. His mother was Hungarian, and his father was born in Bohemia. S ome sources have written that he studied art in Dusseldorf, Germany with Peter Jansen, and also in Munich, Venice and Karlsruhe. But his "name does not appear in the records of the major art schools in any of these places, nor is there any record of his name at either the Vienna or Budapest academies." (Merrill 26) It is possible, however, that he received private instruction, and because of the sophistication of his painting, sources think it unlikely that he was self taught.
An early interest in wilderness scenery led him to painting American landscapes and hunting scenes. In the mid 1880s, he came to America and lived in the German community in Milwaukee, and then in 1886, brought his family to the United States. His wife, Mary Rose Kraemer (1862-1940), was born in Switzerland, and they had one child born near Munich and two others born in the United States. From 1886 to 1888, they lived in New York, and by 1890, Fery had made his first trip West.
He visited Yellowstone Park in 1891, and indicated in his writings that he had been there even earlier. From 1892 to 1893, he led European nobility on hunting expeditions to the American Northwest, made possible by the completion of the Northern Pacific Railroad...
