French Mid 19th Century Portrait of an Italian Brigand. Oil on Canvas.
Located in Cotignac, FR
Mid 19th Century oil on canvas portrait of an Italian brigand, unsigned, in painted wood and gilt frame.
The painting is a fine and fascinating rendition with plenty of wonderful character and detail to the costume, accessories, landscape and seascape. Very atmospheric and imposing much like the character it portrays.
There is a trade stamp to the back of the canvas for the Paris firm of Susse Freres. The canvas is on a fine quality stretcher with 'keys'. There is an artist's name or title written on the top of the rear stretcher (see photo).
Bands of brigands who populated the hills of southern Italy were steady fodder for the Romantic imagination, and their exploits were reported both factually, fancifully and artistically
The painting dates from a period when France, under its then leader Napoleon III, was involved in the conflicts in the Italian states and the unification and eventual creation of the nation of Italy.
An earlier and similar portrait exists of the infamous brigand Mazzocchi by Achille-Etna Michallony .

The Letter
Located in New Orleans, LA
A red-robed cardinal chuckles at the letter in his hand in this oil on canvas by the Italian painter Andrea Landini. The vibrantly hued piece illustrates the artist’s genius at rendering charming narratives in remarkable detail. Entitled The Letter, the work is a superb example of Landini's technical virtuosity — from the finely carved and upholstered chair to the neoclassical painting in the background, every detail is meticulously depicted.
Such works satirizing the clergy would have been severely censured just a generation earlier. Yet, by the time Landini picked up the brush, the European public had grown discontent with the hypocrisy of the clergy, many of whom enjoyed lavish lifestyles. Cardinal paintings such as this became highly popular during the period, and Landini emerged alongside Georges Croegaert, Marcel Brunery and Jehan Georges Vibert as the leading painters of the genre.
Born in Florence in 1847, Andrea Landini trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, first under the animal painter Riccardo Pasquini and later with religious painter Antonio Ciseri...

" Gypsy Girl " 19th Century antique realistic portrait oil painting on panel
Located in Jacksonville, FL
Jan Frederik Pieter Portielje (1829-1908) was a Dutch painter known for his remarkable attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with precision and realism. Born in Amsterdam, Portielje displayed an early talent for art and pursued his passion through formal training at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, Belgium.
Portielje’s expertise lay in portraiture, particularly in capturing the intricacies of human expression and the beauty of traditional attire. His artwork often depicted scenes from everyday life, showcasing individuals from various backgrounds and cultures. One notable painting that exemplifies his skill is “Gypsy Girl.”
In “Gypsy Girl,” Portielje presents a captivating portrait that possesses an astonishing level of realism. The painting depicts a young Romani girl adorned with vibrant jewelry and dressed in traditional clothing. Portielje’s meticulous brushwork and attention to detail make the portrait appear as if it were a photograph captured by a modern camera. The rich colors of the girl’s attire, combined with the intricate jewelry, create a visual feast for the viewer.
