Julius EXNER (Copenhagen, 1825 - Copenhagen, 1910) Model stripping Oil on canvas H. 122 cm; L. 74 cm Signed and dated 1842 lower right Exhibition: most likely Charlottenborg Salon of 1845, under number 110, titled Modelfigur, awarded with a silver medal Provenance: Emilio Fernando Bolt (c.1860 - 1944), acquired from the artist around 1900, then by descent Our painting was produced as part of the summer sessions organized between 1839 and 1850 by Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg (1783-1853), the master of Danish painting of the first half of the 19th century, in his private studio-apartment on the ground floor. floor at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. The master brought together a few students there between June and September, rented one or two models for the season, which were painted from different angles, the artists (including Eckersberg himself) sitting side by side. Eckersberg used to paint a fairly small version, the pupils of the larger formats. The work fits more generally into the legendary context of the research and reforms carried out by Eckersberg concerning the studies of nudes and in particular of female nudes, to make this exercise a genre of painting in its own right. Following his two-year stint in Jacques-Louis David's studio in Paris in 1811, Eckersberg had been made aware of work on the nude and in particular on live models, in natural light, while in Denmark the drawings were then only made from casts of antique models or other mannequins. In 1822, when he had been a professor there since 1818, it was he who had the Royal Academy of Copenhagen authorize the study of nudes, no longer in the evening by candlelight, but in natural light; from 1833, it was still he who allowed students to work on nude female models, even if the official authorization of the Academy did not take place until 1839. It was this same year that he instituted his summer sessions, on a private basis, to orient his painting and that of his students towards a new conception of the representation of models: even if the nude remains the real theme, it does not however, this is more than just an academic exercise. The subject is placed in a contemporary interior, with a rather sophisticated decor, and occupied with an intimate activity (it is this type of intimate vein that we will find later in Degas or Cassatt for example); thus in our painting, the young woman is supposed to take off her clothes to wash. The objective is that the viewer forgets that the master and his students are painting a model during a posing session, and that he instead has the impression of being alone with the model, but invisible, almost like a voyeur in spite of himself. Moreover, in these paintings, the model never looks towards the spectator, inducing a psychological distance with him, whereas model and artist are actually physically very close. On the other hand, it is not a question of idealized nudes either, even if Eckersberg, proof of his debt to the antique, chooses fairly classic models and poses. The sensuality is real and very present, with dreamy, even innocent, and timeless expressions (the models do not seem to have a defined age), suave and slow attitudes and movements, and especially with clothes that hide or reveal skillfully parts of the female body: upper buttocks, pronounced hips... Made by an artist under 20, our sensual painting is probably one of the most beautiful and spectacular produced by the students of Eckersberg during these summer sessions. With a perfect balance between the firmness of an ancient statue (it recalls the Venus de Milo) and the softness of the feminine forms, highlighted by a harmonious palette, it captures the attention with many details: the almost photographic folds white clothing...

People believe money is power in my society - because the leaders steal money to oppress and suffer the poor. But I realize the opposite of this is the purpose of living. We are all alive to put smiles on other fellow human faces, so If you are blessed with any resources, use them to improve other people’s lives and make them happy. With this, inner fulfillment sets in and the purpose of existence is achieved. The face and the skin of this piece depict the harmony between the colors and with this, they can make a great image and impression, which is the purpose of the existence of these colors (Written by the Artist) Painting Ships in a well-protected tube from Nigeria This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy.

After Jean-Baptiste Van Loo, A Portrait of King Louis XV of France (1710-1774) A magnificent quality three-quarter length portrait of King Louis XV of France and Navarre, painted in the 18th century after Jean-Baptiste Van Loo. Oil on canvas, in the original carved and gilt wood frame. Canvas: 40" high x 32" wide Frame: 46.5" high x 39" wide Very good condition, ready to hang. No damages noted. The present composition follows a portrait of Louis XV painted by Jean-Baptiste Van Loo in 1726-1727, today in Versailles. (Oil on canvas. 198.5 by 143 cm. Inv. no. MV 6942.) There were several full-length portraits painted by Van Loo of the young Louis XV, and all were executed in the years of or after his majority, 1723, when he took full control of government, wresting power from the Régent, his great-uncle Philippe, Duc d'Orléans. A slightly larger version (205 by 171 cm), in which the pose and surrounding paraphernalia mirrors that of the present work, is in the Château de Versailles, while another, in which Louis stands more front-on, his pointing right index-finger now tucked in, and with a different background arrangement, is also in Versailles. Further versions of this latter are in Nice, Musée Chéret and the Musée de Perpignan. The composition of all of these full-lengths would appear to derive from Van Loo's large equestrian portrait of Louis XV, painted in collaboration with Charles Parrocel, which was commissioned in 1723 by the Surintendance for Charles de Lorraine. Louis is depicted in similar armour and costume, astride his horse, similarly turned three-quarters to the left and his right arm outstretched. Most subsequent depictions of Louis followed this original design, including, for example, Carle Van...

Santi di Tito Ritratto di Nobildonna Olio su tavola, Sec. XVI, cm 74x61; con cornice 116x100x9 Con procedere degli studi su Santi di Tito, del quale è stata recentemente precisata la nascita fiorentina , si viene sempre più definendo come non solo una delle personalità più interessanti della scena artistica fiorentina, ma anche come il più interessante ritrattista cittadino della seconda metà del Cinquecento. L'attribuzione di questo ritratto al pittore, che nell'impresa dello Studiolo di Francesco I fu uno dei maggiori innovatori fra i giovani riuniti da Vasari e Borghini, appare subito evidente per l’inconfondibile disegno ovale e fermo del volto, reso con un incarnato compatto dai toni rosati che si accende di naturalistiche notazioni epidermiche ma anche di una puntuale figurazioni degli elmenti decorativi dell’abito e dell’acconciatura. Sempre coerente con i modi pittorici di Santi è poi la pittura compatta con la quale vengono definiti i piani semplificati del volto delle donna, che conservano una notazione di luce e di naturale sensibilità in linea con i dettami controriformati dei quali il pittore fu uno dei più fedeli osservanti nella scena fiorentina. Sempre tipica di Santi di Tito è poi la ferma e volumetrica rappresentazione del torso e dell’abito definito nei piccoli intagli della stoffa ma allo stesso tempo semplificato nei volumi delle maniche e del busto. Ancora di santi ci sembra la notazione luministica con la quale è rilevato il disegno dell’abito attraverso stesure compatte ma sottili e trasparenti, oppure è resa la gorgiera bianca che aggiunge una luce netta all’intero dipinto. Una simile scelta pittorica appare nel Ritratto di Guido Guardi coi figli, esposto alla mostra Il Cinquecento a Firenze, (Palazzo Strozzi, 21 settembre 2017 – 21 gennaio 2018, n. IV. 5, pp. 156-157), dove, pur in un ritratto maschile, Santi di Tito usa la medesima cifra formale nella resa dei volti e delle gorgiere. Pur nell'attenzione alle caratteristiche fisionomiche, Santi di Tito conserva, infatti, una cifra disegnativa sempre evidente e riconoscibile pur col passare degli anni, un carattere stilistico che sostiene, con volumi saldi, ogni sua differente prova pittorica. Ne sono un esempio dipinti quali il Ritratto di donna con Figlia, già in collezione Koelliker2, oppure il Ritratto di Lucrezia (Emilia) e Sinibaldo di Niccol Gaddi3, tutti databili agli anni settanta del Cinquecento proprio per la stereometrica definizione delle forma. Col passare degli anni, invece, tale carattere di ascendenza bronzinesca sembra cedere sempre più in favore di una pittura più morbida e sensibile, chiamata a raggiungere esiti di naturalezza sempre maggiore. Dipinto emblematico per seguire tale percorso rimane il già citato Ritratto di Guido Guardi con i figli , dove Santi di Tito ha effigiato il capofamiglia subito dopo il suo ritorno da Roma, fra il 1564 e il 1568, al tempo in cui il Guardi commission al pittore anche una pala con una Natività per la cappella di famiglia a San Giuseppe. L’uomo, seduto su uno scranno, sembra rimandare per la posa arcaizzante alla ritrattistica di primo Cinquecento, alla quale Santi di Tito s’ispira anche per le pieghe frante ma scultoree dell’abito. Sulla stessa tavola, probabilmente verso la fine degli anni settanta del Cinquecento, il pittore venne chiamato ad aggiungere le effigi di figli, quando probabilmente l’opera era già in cornice, e lo fece con una pittura più svolta e libera, in modo da raggiungere effetti naturalistici di maggiore sensibilità. Anche nel Ritratto di donna in esame, i volumi saldi e potenti della figura spiccano sul fondo monocromo della parete con un’evidenza che farebbe pensare alle figure eseguite dalla fine degli anni Settanta del Cinquecento, al pari, appunto dei due figli di Guido Guardi. Nato a Firenze nel 1536, Santi di Tito si form prima da Bastiano da Montecarlo per passare poi dal Bronzino, del quale conserv la preferenza per volumi luminosi e torniti, a cui aggiunse un'attenzione per la chiarezza compositiva e il naturalismo richiesti dai dettami della Controriforma, che lo portarono a guardare allo stile di Scipione Pulzone...

These two South African schoolgirls were staring at yet another group of well meaning tourists passing through their Zimbabwean grammar school. Carole Garland captures their lingering expressions: Innocence, seemingly open, adventurous and hopeful while the other girl, Patience, is perhaps more skeptical, wondering what these people from the United States are doing in her classroom. To enter their children in school. South African parents must register them with English names so mother and father, who don’t speak English, search through English language newspapers for suitable names, hence, “Innocence” and “Patience.” The tour guide’s name was “Sanction.” Carole Garland graduated from Knox College, Galesburg, Ill., and studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and the University of the Americas in Mexico City. Carole Garland has shown in many Southern California venues, most recently at TAG Gallery, Bergamot Station; RealART Gallery, Agoura Hills; the Santa Paula...
