La lecture au jardin (Lesson in the Garden)
Located in New Orleans, LA
French Post-Impressionist painter Georges d’Espagnat captures a charming moment between a mother and her child in this vibrant oil on canvas. Rendered with a studied use of complementary colors and bold brushstrokes, the painting showcases the artist's unique Post-Impressionist style. Remembered as one of the most individualistic artists of the 20th century, his distinctive canvases bring together the loose brushwork of the Impressionists and the bold color palette favored by the Fauves. Together, they achieve a vibrant spontaneity that lends itself well to the carefree subjects of the present work. Masterfully composed, La lecture au jardin moves beyond the Impressionist instinct to capture a fleeting moment on canvas. Rather, d'Espagnat succeeds in creating a deep feeling of harmony in the work. Warm colors are perfectly balanced with cool tones, while vertical and horizontal lines are softened by the curves of the foliage and his subjects' figures. Through his simplification of forms and intentional use of color and line, he creates a scene that is carefully designed and thoroughly modern. A similar view of a mother and her child by d'Espagnat is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York). The Post-Impressionist painter was an individualist since his youth, choosing to forgo traditional schooling in order to independently study the Old Masters in the Louvre. He soon became involved with the most prominent Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painters of the age, including Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Paul Signac, who themselves existed outside the traditional norms of French Academic training. In 1891, he exhibited at the Salon des Refusés, and again the following year at the Salon des Indépendants. By 1895, he held his first one-man show in Paris, and just three years later his success earned him a solo show at the prestigious Durand-Ruel Gallery. Between 1905 and 1910 he made several trips to visit Renoir on the Côte d’Azur. Their close friendship resulted in a group exhibition at Marcel Bernheim...

Spanish family portrait oil on canvas painting
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Julián Grau Santos is one of the most outstanding and prominent figurative painters and illustrators on the national scene. He was born in Canfranc (Huesca) in 1937. Heir to a family tradition, he is the son of the painter Emilio Grau Sala, a significant artist from the School of Paris, and of the also extraordinary painter Ángeles Santos, a prominent member of the group of surrealist painters of the years twenty. In 1954 he moved with his family to Barcelona, ​​where he attended the Sant Jordi School of Fine Arts. In these early years he was greatly influenced, in addition to Van Gogh, by impressionists and post-impressionists such as Sisley, Cezanne, Renoir, Seurat, Vuillard ... whom he discovered on his first visits to Paris, the city where his father lived. In the 60s he was closely linked to Cuenca, where he lived temporarily, a city that at that time was in full artistic effervescence, where he developed a multitude of works with strong expressiveness and very material brushstrokes. In 1978 he set his definitive residence in Madrid, where he currently lives, working not only on his painting but also as an illustrator and draftsman, eventually collaborating with various magazines, such as ABC Cultural, La Razón and El Cultural de El Mundo, among others. Since 1980 he has been a member of the Societé Nationale des Beaux Arts. Painter not attached to any artistic trend, however he has contributed to renew the artistic panorama of the figurative tradition. He is considered by some to be the master of 20th century Spanish color. He has participated in numerous individual exhibitions throughout his artistic career in various galleries both nationally and internationally such as Sala Parés, Galería Biosca, Galerie Saint Placide (Paris), Grand Palais (Paris), Justin Lester Gallery (Los Angeles) , Art Expo (New York). In 1993 the Mapfre Vida Cultural Foundation organized an anthological exhibition of the artist. Since 2004 he exhibits permanently at the Beatriz Bálgoma Gallery, participating with her in various fairs of great prestige at national and international level such as Feriarte, Lisbon Art...

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.
