About the Item

Oil on canvas on board, signed lower left Image size: 12 1/4 x 19 inches (31 x 48.5 cm) Hand made gilt frame Johann Christian Kröner was the son of the decorative painter Johann Kröner (1788–1848) and his wife Clara Regina, née Meyer (1792–1862). Kröner attended high school in his hometown until 1852 and then worked for his brother, who had taken over the paternal painting business , as an apprentice. He also sketched outdoors to capture nature.  It was only from 1861 that he could continue to devote himself to art. He first went to Munich and the artist colony in Brannenburg , where he painted landscapes and got to know local painters, including Carl Irmer , Wilhelm Busch , Julius Rollmann and Louis Hugo Becker . In 1863 he went to Düsseldorf, where he met the landscape painter Louis Hugo Becker, moving in the milieu of the Düsseldorf School. With his artist friends and paint box in hand, they worked from self-study and frequent trips to Upper Bavaria , Thuringia and particularly Westphalia.  Among his circle of friends in Düsseldorf were Gustav Süs, Karl Bertling, Eduard Geselschap, Abert Baur, Eugen Dücker and Carl Irmer. Kröner visited and exhibited in Paris in 1900 and in London winning a medal for his work. He was a member of the Berlin Academy and in his time in Berlin his studio was visited by many of the leading artists. Many of his paintings depicted stags in landscapes and so at the turn of the century he was universally recognised as the leading painter of Düsseldorf hunting paintings.

The Woodcutter
By Alfred East
Located in London, GB
Alfred East The Wood Cutter Oil on board Signed lower right and titled on back Image size: 10 1/4 x 15 inches (26 x 37.5 cm) Carved gilt frame This romantic landscape by East, certainly shows the influence that the Barbizon school had on his work. The Barbizon school were drawn together by their passion and desire to elevate landscape painting as a response to the Academic elevation of historical and mythological themes. Here, East truly revels in the beauty of the English landscape but also captures the mood of the time in which there was a growing concern at the rapidity of social change and its impact upon the countryside. East regularly painted the Cotswolds from the early 1890s until the end of his life - it is probable that this scenes depicts that part of the country. He focused principally on the area around Upper Swell, which he referred to as 'Over Swell', hoping to avoid the village becoming a focus for visitors seeking out the views that he portrayed. East adopted a well established three-stage-technique that made great use of the under-painting, a second layer concerned with the correction of values, and a final stage for the addition of details; all painted with lean oil paint. As can be seen in the work, during this process East practically repainted the entire canvas after the first layer and then proceeded to pick out isolated sections that required further reworking and detail.
