About the Item

The North East Coast of England Stubbs Ralph Bridlington 1826 – Levisham 1879 English Painter Signature: Signed bottom right and dated 1861, verso stamp Dimensions: Image size 58,50 x 107,50 cm, frame size 68 x 116,50 cm Medium: Oil on canvas Biography: Stubbs Ralph Reuben (Rubens) was born in 1826 in Bridlington, England. His middle name can be found both ways in legal documents: Reuben and Rubens. He was a son of Ralph I. Stubbs (1773 -1845), artist from Hull. The wild scenery of the Yorkshire coast had charms for him, and while being a boy of tender years, he rambled along the shores sketching the rugged headlands, with the ever-restless dashing beneath. He had no schooling; his parents were too poor. Nature, perhaps the best teacher of all, embraced him as a favourite, and certainly no child of Nature was ever more diligent in learning. In his earlier life he worked hard; he knew that he possessed the talent he could make no mark in the world of art unless he worked, and he toiled with a will and with an enthusiasm which, even in less naturally gifted man, must in the end have commanded success. The poor struggling artist had achieved a name. Correctness of drawing, the judicious blending of colours, and the proper appreciation of perspective came intuitively to him. He was passionately found of art, and he worked and worked nobly, for it. His name has been a household word in almost every home of refinement and taste in Yorkshire, jovial fellow, full of anecdote, mischief, and fun. Wherever he went he was the life and soul of the company, accommodating to all, and generous to a fault. The paintings scattered all over Yorkshire, and grace some of the finest collections in the best-known galleries. There are in the hands of the picture dealers, and their value has been for year on the increase. He died on March 30, 1879, in Levisham, England. Today his paintings are sought after by the private collectors.

Landscape in the Ardennes, Alphonse Asselbergs, Brussels 1839 – 1916, Belgian
Located in Knokke, BE
Landscape in the Ardennes Asselbergs Alphonse Brussels 1839 – 1916 Belgian Painter Signature: Signed bottom left Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: Image size 60,50 x 100 cm, frame size 73,50 x 113 cm The place this painting depicts is a small village Achouffe in the municipality of Houffalize, in Wallonia, Belgium. It is located in the forested Ardennes region. Situated within the Bastogne district Luxembourg province. Biography: Asselbergs Alphonse was born on June 19, 1839 in Brussels, Belgium. He was a painter of landscapes and forests. He studied with the master teacher and artist Edouard Huberti from 1863. After having led a world traveled life as a trader, he returned to the countryside of Belgium in 1867 and stayed in the Tervuren region and spent his time painting landscapes with great artists such as H. Boulenger, E. Huberti, J. Coosemans and Th. Baron. In 1868, he co-founded the “Societé Libre des Beaux-Arts”. From 1873 to 1874, he traveled and painted in North Africa with the watercolourist, Arthur Bouvier. It resulted in a number of canvases in the oriental style, but unfortunately without any commercial success. Despite having been shown at numerous exhibitions, they were all still in his studio at the time of his death. After returning from his travels, he lived near the artists’ colony in Genk and made occasional excursions to the forests of Fontainebleu in France. From 1875 to 1877 he worked in the Barbizon region with students of Rousseau. In 1877, Asselbergs moved to Brussels. He painted quite actively in the Brussels countryside, in the Ardennes and Campine regions. He had a studio with a round tower, on a street that is now named after him. He also made short trips abroad to France and Italy. During the 1880’s, he held exhibitions at the Salon de Paris. In 1881, receiving a second commission in 1896, he was named Officer in the Order of Leopold: it is the oldest and highest Order of Belgium and is named in honor of its founder the King Leopold...
