Presented in its original antique gilt frame, signed and glazed. the work Measurements: 33" x 29" framed Artist Biography Armand Point was a student of Herst. He came to Paris in 1888 and was linked to Numa Gillet. He showed in Paris in 1889, gaining an honourable mention and a bronze medal. In 1893, he was awarded a travel grant for his exhibition at the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts. He was one of the founders of the Salon de la Rose + Croix. Point's first works are of Algerian scenes. After being part of the first Nabis group, Point, captivated by the efforts of the English Pre-Raphaelites, tried to begin a similar movement in France, taking its inspiration from Florentine works, particularly those of Sandro Botticelli. Armand Point showed deep erudition and indisputable talent in trying to resurrect the art of the 15th and 16th centuries. Many of his admirers regretted the fact that he did not put more effort into more personal artistic works. He also produced some interesting modern art gems, and in 1896 he created the Hauteclaire community that revived this form of art.

Julius Kronberg’s Angelica – A Romantic Heroine of Renaissance Legend
Located in Stockholm, SE
Literary Origins of Angelica The subject of this painting is Angelica, a princess from the epic chivalric romances of the Italian Renaissance. She first appears in Matteo Maria Boiardo’s Orlando Innamorato (1483) and reappears famously in Ludovico Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso (1532). In these poems – part of the Matter of France cycle of Charlemagne and his paladins – Angelica’s extraordinary beauty ensnares many knights, including Orlando (Roland) and his cousin Rinaldo, sparking rivalries and adventures. Ariosto’s narrative particularly highlights Angelica’s tumultuous journey: at one point she is stripped and chained to a rock as a sacrifice to a sea monster (a scene mirroring the myth of Andromeda) before being dramatically rescued by the valiant knight Ruggiero on his winged horse. Ultimately, however, Angelica chooses her own destiny. She falls in love with a humble Saracen soldier, Medoro, whom she nurses back to health, and she returns with him to her far-off Asian kingdom – an affair that drives the heartbroken Orlando to madness. This independent resolution (marrying outside the circle of Christian knights) made Angelica an emblem of feminine agency and romantic idealism in Renaissance literature. Her story remained popular in art and literature through the centuries, symbolizing the allure and elusiveness of love. Kronberg’s Portrayal and Composition In Julius Kronberg...
