About the Item
19th century British genre painting "A happy animal family in the countryside", 1860
John Frederick Herring II, born in 1815, was an English painter who followed in the footsteps of his father, John Frederick Herring Sr., a celebrated artist known for his sporting and equestrian paintings. Born into an artistic family, Herring II showed early talent and began his artistic training under his father's guidance. He quickly developed his own style, characterized by detailed and lively depictions of horses, dogs, and other animals, often set against vibrant landscapes or racing scenes. Herring II's work gained recognition for its meticulous attention to detail and skillful portrayal of movement and emotion in his subjects. He became particularly renowned for his horse racing scenes, capturing the excitement and energy of the sport with remarkable accuracy. His paintings were sought after by wealthy patrons and collectors, establishing him as a leading figure in the equestrian art world of the 19th century. Throughout his career, Herring II exhibited widely in England and abroad, including at prestigious venues such as the Royal Academy in London. His popularity extended beyond the art world, and he became known for his entrepreneurial spirit, producing prints and engravings of his work to reach a wider audience.Some of his notable works can be found in various museums and art institutions around the world, showcasing his enduring impact on the art world. These include "A Saddled Bay Hunter in a Stable Interior" at the Yale Center for British Art, "A Saddled Bay Hunter" at the National Gallery of Victoria, "Horses Grazing in a Landscape" at the Victoria and Albert Museum, and "The Grand Stand at Ascot" at the National Horseracing Museum. Despite his success, Herring II faced financial challenges throughout his life, which led him to relocate several times in search of better opportunities. He eventually settled in Surrey, where he continued to paint prolifically until his death in 1907.

- Shepherd with Sheep, Cows and a Goat in a Landscape by Jan Frans SoolmakerLocated in Stockholm, SEThis painting depicts a pastoral scene that is attributed to the artist Jan Frans Soolmaker, an artist known for his Italianate landscapes and scenes that often feature equestrian and Arcadian elements. The painting is not signed but is attributed to Soolmaker, relating it to a known signed work by the artist that was sold at Sotheby’s London in 1999. The scene is suffused with the warm glow of a setting or rising sun, casting a soft light that is characteristic of Soolmaker’s landscapes. It shows a shepherd guiding a group of cattle across a shallow stream, with the animals taking center stage in the composition. The animals are rendered with careful attention to their forms and the play of light on their bodies, which is a hallmark of Soolmaker's work. The landscape is composed of a rocky terrain with trees and shrubbery, creating a sense of depth and natural beauty that invites the viewer to explore the scene further. The background suggests a vast, open landscape with distant mountains, which adds to the Italianate feel of the painting. The sky is dramatic, with clouds catching the light of the sun, contributing to the overall serene yet dynamic atmosphere of the work. The provenance of the painting is notable, having been in the possession of significant historical figures such as Swedish Prince Fredrik Adolf, and later The collection of Pär Ulmgren, The collection of Gösta Stenman, and Engineer and politician Gustaf Henry Hansson. Potential buyers have the option of choosing between a newly made gold frame or an older brown frame, which allows for personalization in how the work is presented. Soolmaker’s work is often compared to that of Dutch painter Nicolaes Berchem, whose style he emulated. Soolmaker's landscapes reflect a similar sensitivity to light and composition, making his works sought after for their beauty and historical significance. Despite the smaller body of work left by Soolmaker, due to his short career, his paintings are valued for their craftsmanship and the legacy of the artist’s brief but impactful contribution to the Dutch Italianate landscape genre.
