About the Item

Large Victorian coastal marine painting by Edward William Cooke, R.A. English, 1842 Frame: height 92cm, width 128cm, depth 6.5cm Canvas: height 77cm, width 122cm This superb marine landscape painting is by the leading Victorian artist Edward William Cookie, R.A., F.R.S. It is titled 'Dutch fisherman warping their craft out of Broeckenhaven Harbour, Holland,' and depicts a coastal scene of Dutch fisherman battling the waves of the unsettled sea surrounding their boat. Cooke’s painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1842, the year in which it was executed. The painting is signed, and dated 'E.W. Cooke, 1842' to the lower right, and titled to the reverse. It is housed in a large giltwood frame. It bears a retailers provenance label for Owen Edgar Gallery, London. Cooke was a leading proponent of the Romantic British marine painting genre, studying the work of Dutch Old Masters, who painted stormy seascapes which inspired much of the British tradition. With works such as this and 'A North Sea Breeze off the Dutch coast', 1855, held in the National Maritime Museum, London, he sought to emulate their earlier mastery, and did so with great success.

By Georg Macco
Located in London, GB
Orientalist oil painting of Damascus Gate in Jerusalem by Macco German, Early 20th Century Frame: Height 66cm, width 84cm. depth 8cm Canvas: Height 42cm, width 59cm Imagined and brought to life by German artist and illustrator, Georg Macco (1863-1933), this captivating Orientalist oil-on-canvas painting showcases the vibrant scene at the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem. Depicting a bustling thoroughfare, the canvas is alive with the energy of traders and their vibrant market stalls lining either side of the street. Amidst this animated marketplace are animals like goats and chickens, adding a further layer of authenticity to the scene, and showcasing the artist’s masterful range. A focal point is an elderly man, clad in warm shades of brown and beige, complemented by a vivid head scarf, as he ambles towards the viewer. Adjacent to him, a woman is immersed in a negotiation with a market vendor for an array of fruits and vegetables. Further in the backdrop, a colourful assemblage of individuals can be seen, swathed in a rainbow palette of red, yellow, brown, and blue. Their activities range from strolling towards the viewer, moving into the distance, or engaged in lively discussions. The painting's left side offers a more serene ambiance, with fewer market stalls and people. It features a female figure seated beside a stack of brown bags...
