By Anh Duong
Located in Surfside, FL

"Portrait of a Young Eero Saarinen", Painted By His Father Eliel Saarinen, Oil
Located in Detroit, MI
This portrait of a precocious young boy is significant for two reason: the subject is Eero Saarinen, the famed designer of tulip chairs and architect best known for designing the Washington Dulles International Airport outside Washington, D.C., the TWA Flight Center in New York City, and the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri, and the painter is his father Eliel Saarinen, the Finnish-American architect who designed the Helsinki Central railway station, the National Museum of Finland, the Vyborg railway station, the Hvitträsk, and the Kleinhans Music Hall in Finland and the famous Cranbrook Academy campus, where he would then go on to teach at the Cranbrook Academy of Art and become its president in 1932. It's provenance is Eero Saarinen's own son, the award-winning cinematographer Eric Saarinen. The painting is Painting is 23.25 x 16.25. Eliel Saarinen was born in 1873 in Rantasalmi, Finland. was educated in Helsinki at the Helsinki University of Technology. From 1896 to 1905 he worked as a partner with Herman Gesellius and Armas Lindgren at the firm Gesellius, Lindgren, Saarinen. His first major work was showcased at the Finnish pavilion at the 1900 World Fair in Paris. His early style was known as Finnish National Romanticism. After moving to the United States he designed the Gulf Building in Houston and became a visiting professor at the University of Michigan. In 1925 he was requested to design the Cranbrook campus. His work has been exhibited in many prestigious places, such as his iconic tea urn at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the St. Louis Art Museum, Cranbrook Art Museum, the British Museum in London, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The touring exhibition Modernism in American Silver: 20th-Century Design, organized by the Dallas Museum of Art, which also traveled to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. the British Museum in London and the Metropolitan Museum of Art also hold tea urn-related Eliel Saarinen designs. Eero Saarinen was born in 1910. He grew up in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan and took courses in sculpture and furniture design at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. He had a close relationship with fellow students Charles and Ray Eames, and became good friends with Florence Knoll (née Schust). He began his studies in sculpture at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris, France, in September 1929. He then went on to study at the Yale School of Architecture, completing his studies in 1934. In 1940 he designed his famous Tulip chairs and in 1948 he designed what would be his most well-known sculpture, the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. His Crow Island School in Winnetka, Illinois would also achieve international acclaim while the first major work by Saarinen, in collaboration with his father, was the General Motors Technical Center in Warren, Michigan, which follows the rationalist design Miesian style, incorporating steel and glass but with the addition of accent of panels in two shades of blue. After his father's death in July 1950, Saarinen founded his own architect's office, Eero Saarinen and Associates. He was the principal partner from 1950 until his death. The firm carried out many of its most important works, including the Bell Labs...

Shop Antique and Vintage Portrait Paintings

An elegant and sophisticated decorative touch in any living space, portrait paintings have remained popular throughout the years and are widely loved pieces of art for display in many homes today.

Portrait paintings are at least as old as ancient Egypt, where realistic, lifelike depictions of the recently deceased — commonly known as “mummy portraits” — were painted on wooden panels and affixed to mummies as part of the burial tradition.

For centuries, painters have used portraiture as a means of expressing a subject’s nobility, societal status and authority. Portraits were given as gifts in Renaissance Europe, and a portrait artist might have been commissioned to help mark a significant occasion such as a wedding or a promotion to high office. Prior to the advent of photography, which eventually replaced painted portraits as a quicker and more efficient way of capturing a person’s essence, the subject of a portrait had to sit for hours until the painter had finished. And during the 18th century in particular, if an artist commissioned for a portrait struggled with how to adequately memorialize and capture a subject’s likeness, sometimes a portrait painting wasn’t completed for up to a year.

Whether it’s part of the gallery-style approach to your living-room or dining-room walls or merely inspiration as you devise an eye-grabbing color scheme in your home, a portrait painting is a timeless decorative object for any interior. A landscape painting or sculpture might give you the kind of insight into a specific region of the world or a different culture that you can ascertain only through art. Similarly, when you take the time to learn about the subject of a portrait painting that you bring into your home — the sitter’s history, the relationship between the sitter and the artist should one exist, the story of how the portrait came to be — that work can become intensely personal in addition to its place as an object for an art-hungry corner of your apartment or house.

On 1stDibs, visit a vast collection of famous portrait paintings or works by emerging artists. Search by medium to find the right portrait paintings for your home in oil paint, synthetic resin paint and more. Find portrait paintings in a variety of styles, too, including contemporary, Impressionist and Pop art, or search by artist to find unique works created by painters such as Mark Beard, Steve Kaufman and Montse Valdés.
