About the Item

"Afternoon Light" by Linda Delahaye (France based) is an original oil on linen depicting a young man resting in the shade of his home in the afternoon. Born: 1980, Canada Lives and works in Paris, France. Linda is a representational painter whose work explores beauty, sensuality, and intimacy. Through her detailed work and suggested narratives she aims to communicate awareness, emotions, experiences, memories, the beauty and wonder of the human soul, and a searching for comfort and familiarity in the unknown. Each person portrayed in her work, is telling a story about the life of the person, the emotion of that moment in time, their world surrounding them, and a warm sense of the human condition and its uniqueness. Stories both real and imagined are what shape her work and give it a familiar yet unique quality. "Art is fundamentally a conversation and my artistic voice is an emotional one. The things I choose to paint and talk about are what I find beautiful in my life. I explore the female form through painting with gentleness, grace and sensitivity. I see the moments that I paint as a peaceful oasis, where life is often very chaotic and painful. There is something deeply satisfying to take an idea from ideation to completion and meeting the people that become a part of my paintings. I chose to stage my models like performers in a play. The majority of the subjects I paint are female. Showing their strength, character or simply a glimpse into their life, beyond just their physical beauty or ornamental value is important to me. I find that their individuality, bodies, and gestures inspire me to create works showing their agency, our collective humanity, love, support, and bravery. These are the strengths that are often unseen but that can be worn like armour."

Hercules Mourning the Death of his Cupbearer Hylas
By Mark Beard
Located in New York, NY
[Hippolyte-Alexandre Michallon (1849-1930)] Oil on canvas Signed in red, l.l. 48 x 60 inches, canvas size 54 x 66 inches in gold leaf frame 61 x 74 x 6 inches, framed This artwork is offered by ClampArt, located in New York City. “By his own account, the most ambitious work of Michallon’s career was a thirty-foot canvas depicting Noah’s Ark, which he exhibited in the Salon of 1875, where it went unmentioned by the critics. Preparatory work for this elaborate composition took him frequently to the Jardin des Plantes, where he made painstaking drawings and oil sketches of the animals on view. These studies were enthusiastically remarked upon by visitors to his studio, some of whom counseled him to give up history painting altogether and pursue the less dignified but presumably more lucrative career of animal painter. Following this advice, and profiting from the tremendous vogue in 1880s Europe for all things African...
