About the Item

Henri LANGEROCK Ghent, 1830 – Marseille, 1915 Oil on canvas 46 x 37 cm (57 x 50 cm with the frame) Signed lower right “Langerock” Old stamp at the verso with an inscription Beautiful 19th century frame in gilded wood Our painting is signed “Langerock”. Henri Langerock was a Belgian painter born in Ghent but who worked in France and died in Marseille. He traveled a lot, in France and abroad. Langerock was first known for its landscapes of France (Vosges, Picardy, Ardèche...). Then he traveled to Egypt and Brazil between 1878 and 1885, as well as to Africa. He exhibited his subjects of traveling painter at the Paris Salon until 1901. Our painting dates from this second period. A painting with a similar subject and entitled "Market in Cairo" was estimated at 5,000 euros by the Hampel auction house in Munich in 2022. Langerock's style is remarkable for the finesse of the drawing, the attention to details and how the light really sculpts the composition. This reminds of the tradition of the great French decorative painters of the Romantic era such as Louis Daguerre, Charles Cicéri or Charles-Marie Bouton. Moreover, Langerock also produced panoramas and dioramas. For example the panorama of the City of Rio de Janeiro (exhibited in Brussels in 1888, in Paris in 1889 and in Brazil in 1894) and the dioramas "Indian Village of South America" (exhibited in 1889 in Brussels) and " The Mysterious Continent or Stanley in the Darkness of Africa” (exhibited at the 1896 Antwerp Universal Exhibition). He also worked as a photographer, first as an assistant to Nadar before succeeding Numa Blanc in his studio at 29, boulevard des Italiens in Paris.

    Jacob VAN STRIJ (Entourage of) Dordrecht, 1756 - 1815 Oil on panel 46 x 60 cm (64.5 x 79 cm with the frame) Inscription on the back “Van der Eyden? » Very beautiful 19th century frame in gilded wood Very good condition (only a few stains) Our painting is very close to the art of Jacob van Strij studied and may have been painted in the circle of this artist. Jacob van Strij studied at the Academy of Painting in Antwerp and with Andreas Lens. Back in Dordrecht, he became a landscape painter. Both individually and with his brother Abraham, he painted various wallpapers for clients in Dordrecht. According to Jacob van Strij biographer Johannes Immerzeel, “His passion and concern for faithfully imitating nature went so far that Van Strij, as ill as he was (for years Van Strij was plagued with gout) he asked someone to pull his sled along the ice in the biting cold in order to make sketches for his paintings, which he then executed in his workshop ”. Van Strij used these sketches for various paintings. He was inspired by 17th century old masters, in particular Albert Cuyp...

Sparrow got to know in his boyhood many of his father's colliers, furnacemen, blacksmiths, carpenters and farmworkers, and gained respect and admiration for the men, whom he described as "so big, strong, simple-hearted, and kind".
