About the Item

Frame size 65x71 cm. Trained at the Escuela de Bellas Artes de la Lonja, where he was a disciple of Modesto Urgell, he moved to Paris and Rome to perfect his studies. He was closely linked to Sitges, where he lived since 1881, and started there, together with Arcadio Mas, the informal Catalan Luminist School. Outstanding landscaper, he also painted in Blanes, Tosa de Mar, Cadaqués, Moyá, Camprodón, Barcelona, ​​Mallorca, etc. within a style similar to the impressionism that preceded the modernism of Santiago Rusiñol and Ramón Casas, who contacted Sitges thanks to him. Apart from Barcelona, ​​he also exhibited in Madrid, Zaragoza and Paris. His painting, characterized by a delicate technique, demonstrates the artist's predilection for seascapes and urban landscapes. It perfectly represented the beaches of Barcelona. He left an interesting notebook in which he carefully wrote down the paintings he sold, their price and the person or entity that acquired them, a manuscript that is kept in the Library of Catalonia (Ms. 3023) and that was published in the Bulletin of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Jorge.

  • German Baroque landscape Settlement near lake 18th century Oil painting Signed
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    Signed lower right for Johann Christian Vollerdt (1708 - 1769). The beauty of baroque scenery is visible in painting, an excellent perspective with striking effects of chiaroscuro. This distinguishes the work of German painters of the 18th century. In their paintings, they exaggerate nature a bit and go visually beyond the borders of the canvas. With the exception of one drawing (“River landscape in the Dutch style”), only paintings by Vollerdt are known at the moment, exclusively miniature river landscapes, which were very popular at the time. His earliest surviving works date from 1738, the latest from 1769. Oil painting on canvas, framed. Size app.: 34.5 x 43.2 cm (roughly 13.6 x 17 in) and nice original frame ca 46.5 by 55.5 cm (roughly 18.3 x 22 in). Very Good condition, usage age wear losses on the edges mostly; restorations, retouches; edge of canvas relined. Please study good resolution images for overall cosmetic condition. In person actual painting may appear darker or brighter than in our pictures, strictly depending on sufficient light in your environment. Weight of app. 2,05 kg is going to measure some 4 kg volume weight packed for shipment. Vollerdt initially received training in the private school of the copper engraver Paul Christian Zinck in Leipzig. After 1738 he began his apprenticeship with Johann Alexander Thiele in Dresden. Initially, he worked as a supraport painter. So he is probably the author of the 31 over-portals and panneaus in Oberlichtenau Castle, which Heinrich Graf von Brühl acquired in 1744, of which, however, only those in the garden hall have survived. From 1758 to 1769 V. painted a multitude of such landscapes, often pairs of pictures...
