About the Item
Large French Barbizon riverscape "Sunset over a river" by Henry Jacques Delpy
This peaceful barbizon riverscape depicts a sunset illuminating the sky and covering the whole scenery in golden and pink hues. Two ladies "lavandières" can be seen washing to the right, on the board of the river. A but further to the left, we can see someone sitting in a small boat, perhaps a fisherman returning home for the evening.
Henry Jacques Delpy born in Bois-le-Roi on June 28, 1877 and died in Paris on November 24, 1957 is a French painter.
He is the son and pupil of the painter Hippolyte Camille Delpy (1842-1910). Henry Jacques Delpy is a landscape painter from the Barbizon school like his father, of whom he was a pupil. He embarked very early on in his artistic career.
He specializes in landscapes of water, in particular variations on the edges of rivers, as in the present painting. His works are marked by the influence of his father and Charles-François Daubigny (1817-1878): he paints undergrowth imbued with melancholy, ponds, the banks of the Oise, the Seine and landscapes always full of sensitivity and silence, on which weighs a heavy sky with luminosity and audacious colors, which to repeat itself does not lack any poetic emotion. He uses a light, quick and transparent touch reminiscent of the Impressionists. The artist achieves a real synthesis between this movement and the Barbizon school, thus infusing this calm and serene atmospheric atmosphere so particular, in particular, in the transparency of the water and especially of the twilights, of which, just like his father, he is a specialist. The skies and the water are magnified by his palette which uses a variety of unusual and original colors forming new associations but which have the effect of giving a picturesque character and tranquility to the whole of the canvas, as our painting is a beautiful example of.
He participated in the Salon of French artists, of which he was a member, as well as in the "Salon des indépendants".

- Large 17th century religious family painting - Mary with Christ and AnnaLocated in Antwerp, BE17th century Old Master painting depicting the Infant Christ with Mary and St. Anne attributed to Nicolas de Liemaker The artist of the present work wonderfully captured the loving gaze of Maria, looking in awe at her child. One can sense the tenderness and love in her eyes. The eyes of Christ appears to be filled with wisdom and love and a finely painted aura crowns his and his mother's heads. St. Anne, Mary's mother, gently holds the infant whilst gazing adoringly at him. The painting is not only a beautiful depiction of Christ and his mother and grandmother, but also a sweet image of the tender bond between a mother's and their children. The vibrant and soft colours of the fabric create a soft cocoon around the figures and seem to further emphasis the beauty and importance of the depicted scenery and its protagonists. Nicolaas de Liemaecker (also spelled as Liemaker or Liemackere) was a Flemish painter born in Ghent in 1601. He was also known under the name Nicolaas Roose. His father was Jacobus de Liemaecker, a painter upon glass. Nicolaas is reported to have been trained by his father and Gaspard de Crayer II (1), an apprenticeship with Otto Van Veen has also been suggested. In 1624 he worked at the Court of the Bishop of Paderborn and for Ferdinand of Bavaria. He later returned to his native city, where he focused on religious and historical paintings. He was a very accomplished and celebrated artist who attained a high rank in his profession. He witnessed the baptisms of Pieter and Janne-Marie Van Hulle...Category
