1830s

About the Item

Provenance: Alexander Gallery, NYC 1985 Manoogian Collection, Detroit, MI Private Collection, Great Neck, NY Exhibitions: Alexander Gallery, NYC "Hudson River Masters" 1986 Rau Antiques, New Orleans, LA "American Landscapes" 2019 Thomas Doughty was one of the first Americans to paint purely landscapes. He was the dominant artist in Philadelphia until the arrival of Thomas Cole. In the 1830's he made his way up into the Boston area where he painted with great success. Eventually, he found a welcome home in the New York City art community, traveling up into the Hudson Highlands. This oil is a major attempt to portray the beauty and silence of a cold winter night. It was done around 1830-1835, a great period in the height of his talents.

  • Antique Oil on Canvas Painting "Dancing Nymphs" Mythological Landscape Scene
    Located in Firenze, IT
    A luxuriant forest is the romantic and lyrical landscape where the dance of the nude nymphs takes place in this joyful 19th Century antique oil on canvas painting featuring a mythological scene. Dance of the Nymphs and Naiads is a myth inspired by the tales of ancient Greece and ancient Rome, a subject already much loved in the Renaissance period as an allegory of rebirth - as in one of the most famous paintings in the world the Spring by Sandro Botticelli- then reproduced throughout the neoclassicism by academic painters -due to the renewed interest in classical artworks following the discovery of archaeological sites- and taken up later, with ecological purposes and meanings, also by the Barbizon school and Impressionist artists. The present artwork – signed Vagner low left and datable to the second half of the 19th century - is closely inspired by an important work by the great Camille Corot, which is now housed at the Musée d'Orsay (Paris). This historical oil on canvas painting, featuring a joyful scene with the three graces and other dancing nymphs...
