About the Item
This Neoclassical oil on canvas painting of Moses, signed by Antoine Etex and dated around 1862, stands as a captivating tribute to classical artistry and biblical history. Antoine Etex, a renowned French artist, masterfully captures the solemnity and grandeur of Moses, embedding intricate details and profound expressions that reflect the deep reverence for this iconic figure.
Full of symbolism and stunning painterly facility, the muscular figure of moses is scrunched into the format of the painting, a common romantic and necolassical composition that gives energy and life to the picture, as though if the figure stood up or swung their arm they would break through the picture plane. Flames emerge from the forehead of Moses, which is a symbolic nod to the passage in Exodus 34:35 "And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone" after Moses spoke with God, who gave him the 10 Commandments.
His gesture is also a stunning a subtle element of the painting, looking back as though addressing his people, and pointing forward to show them the way.
Ideal for connoisseurs of classical art, this piece offers a remarkable blend of historical significance and artistic excellence, making it a distinguished addition to any fine art collection or sophisticated interior setting. Preserved in excellent condition, this painting continues to inspire and command admiration more than a century and a half since its creation. On the back of the canvas is the stamp "Brullon", which was a producer of art supplies and canvas in Paris during the era. In Good Vintage Condition, signed and dated in the lower right hand corner. Fitted with the original Oak frame from the Period.
Antoine Etex (1808-1888) was a prominent French sculptor, painter, and architect known for his Neoclassical style. Etex's notable contributions include his work on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, where he sculpted two of its grand reliefs, "Resistance" and "Peace," which are celebrated for their expressive power and intricate detail. His diverse artistic achievements solidified his legacy as a significant figure in 19th-century French art.

"Up"
By Tom Holland
Located in New York, NY
This sophisiticated oil on canvas work was realized by the esteemed Bay Area artist Tom Holland circa 1961, and boasts a prestigious provenance from the Stanford Museum of Art. Combining elements of futurism, Art Brut and Art Naif, with inspiration from his Bay Area contemporaries (such as Richard Diebenkorn), Holland has achieved both critical and commercial success over the last five plus decades of his career. He is currently represented by galleries in Dallas, Santa Fe and San Francisco and his prints are exhibited by Crown Point Press in San Francisco and Cirrus Editions in Los Angeles. This piece represents an exceptional example of his early practice. It offers a wealth of organic and geometric forms in coffee and chocolate brown, rendered in thick impasto, with cobalt blue peaking out from beneath. There are two orbital forms in the lower half of the canvas painted in a burnt umber hue. With its sophisticated palette and painterly aesthetic, this piece would be a winning acquisition for any avid collector of first-rate Mid Century Modern fine art...
