An important portrait painting, connectected to the nobility / Patrizier of Bern, the capital of Switzerland.
Rudolf von Steiger has masterfully portrayed his 'Dutch' cousin Arthur von Steiger in 1884 - Rudolf's father Johann Wilhelm and Arthur's father Karl Friedrich von Steiger were brothers. The portrait was created during a stopover during Rudolf's trip(s) to Italy or the cousins met in Italy in 1884.
The Dutch branch of the Von Steiger family was knighted by the Dutch royal family in 1904.
The painter Rudolf von Steiger, born in 1856 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil as a scion of the well-known Swiss Bernese patrician family Von Steiger (Weisser Bock), was one of ten children of the plantation owner and former Royal Dutch naval officer Johann Wilhelm von Steiger (1818-1895) and his wife Henriette Maria Friederika Fanny, née Pigott (1825-1878) and spent his youth from 1858 in Thun, Switzerland, where his father had founded a rifle factory.
Rudolf von Steiger attended the progymnasium and then went on an apprenticeship as a carpenter and site manager for two years from 1870 to 1872.
Two years later, from 1874 to 1876, Rudolf von Steiger began studying art at the art school in Bern under Albert Walch (1816-1882) and Paul Volmar (1832-1906), before continuing his studies in painting under the guidance of Andreas Müller, Hugo Crola, Heinrich Lauenstein, Karl Müller, Peter Janssen the Elder. Ä., Eduard Gebhardt, Julius Roeting and Wilhelm Sohn from 1876 to 1887 at the Art Academy in Düsseldorf.
During his student days, on October 11, 1882, Von Steiger married the painter Emilie Johanna Elwin (1858–1948) and around 1883–1884 Rudolf von Steiger interrupted his education to realize works in Rome and Florence.
After completing his studies in Düsseldorf, he first moved to Munich in 1887/88, then resided in his mother-in-law's house in Pempelfort in Düsseldorf around 1890 and later moved to Bern, where he lived until 1896. Eventually, Rudolf von Steiger returned to South America and lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina as a painter and teacher until his death on June 1, 1941.

- Garçon avec des Fruit - Boy with Fruit - Oil on Canvas - Naive PaintingBy Nino GiuffridaLocated in Meinisberg, CHNino Giuffrida (Sicilian, 1924, active in France) Un Garçon avec des Fruits • Oil on canvas, ca. 41 x 33 cm • Frame, made by the renowned framer Knöll from Zürich, ca. 54 x 46 cm • Signed top left Born in 1924 in Sicily, Nino already attended the artistic high school in Catania at the age of 17, where he befriended fellow painters including Pippo Aleo and Giovanni Calogero. At that time, he painted with passion everything he saw, landscapes, seascapes, still lifes. After a first attempt to come to France with his friend Giovanni in 1948, aborted for lack of a visa. Nino finally arrived at the Gare de Lyon on December 8, 1949 and settled at number 30 rue Gabrielle in Montmartre. Nino began to paint Paris. Like many Montmartre artists of this period, while he painted all day long, he moved about in the evening on the terraces of the cafés of Montmartre and Saint-Germain-des-Prés to transform himself into a portrait painter and randomly sketch the customers in restaurants. Nino then devoted himself more and more to the painting of children, which became his favorite theme of inspiration. Pierre Imbourg, journalist and art critic, wrote of him: "Montmartre, the land of little ‘Poulbots’, inspiring Nino to record in his mind all these childrens faces whose intense facial expression he would endevour to reproduce". It was also at this time that his career as a Montmartre painter influenced by cubism began. With the disappearance of the art galleries in Montmartre, Nino decides to settle on the French Riviera, in Cannes then in Vallauris. From 1952 his personal exhibitions follow one another and Nino becomes an international painter: Rome, Brussels, Chicago, Copenhagen, Helsingborg and Aüs in Sweden, in Geneva, in Kourou in Guyana... In Paris, he manages the Galerie de la Colonne...Category

- Hedwig Mechle – Grossmann (1857 - 1928) Rose Flower Girl , 1920 - Oil PaintingBy Hedwig Mechle-GrossmannLocated in Meinisberg, CHHedwig Mechle - Grossmann (Germann, * 3rd of December 1857, Görlitz - † 1st of October, 1928 Ödenburg) Die Kleine Rosenverkäuferin - The Little Rose Seller • Oil on carse canvas, ca. 100 x 75 cm • Frame, 107 x 81 cm • Signed and dated 1920 upper right This large painting will make everybody stop, look, smile and want to buy a lovely rose from that charming girl. Take your time and have a look at the details … the stopper of the water ceramic bottle, her piece of bread, the torn and frayed clothing and more. Worldwide shipping is complimentary - There are no additional charges for handling & delivery. Hedwig Mechle-Grossmann is well known and appreciated for her expressive genre scenes depicting children. Born in Görlitz, she worked in Berlin and moved on to Ödenburg, where she died. Important examples of her work are held in the Ödenburg Landesmuseum. A few words on condition: The painting has received slight sympathetic restoration - The partially frayed edges have been professionally relined with a narrow strip of new canvas for strength and then the canvas has been re-stretched on to the original stretcher, with the arms of the stretcher covering most of the newly attached strips of canvas. One of the arms of the stretcher has suffered slight worm damage in the past. That short section has been treated, stabilized and the restorer covered the unsightly area with a strip of the same canvas, which was used to reline the edges. The frame seems to be original (certainly early 20thC) - the corners have been re-glued, small areas have been retouched and minor sections of the molding are missing. New small woodblocks...Category
