About the Item

Still Life with Flowers and Hidden Portrait Dohlmann Augusta Svanenmosegaard 1847 – 1914 Danish Painter Signature: Monogrammed bottom left and dated 83 Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: Image size 71 x 57 cm, frame size 89 x 74 cm This original work painted by a female artist is a beautiful still life with flowers and fruits. A mysterious portrait in the background that you can hardly see, is a testimony to mastery and great talent. Why is the portrait of a man which is located on the right side of the vase almost invisible? Surely she would have wanted to say something with a lot of care. At the end of 19 century, women were about to take their place as artists, and Dohlmann Augusta did much to achieve this. Art education was open to those who could afford it and the prospect of a serious education became a reality. Still, it was more difficult for women to achieve artistic accomplishments at that time and this would continue for another century. Although women artists had gained access to drawing and painting, commercialization was still difficult. They sometimes had to use a male name or sign with a monogram. Dohlmann Augusta was a strong lady and able to remain herself in her work, and support other young artists to seek and find their way in painting. Biography: Dohlmann Augusta Johanne Henriette (Dohleman) was born May 9, 1847, in Frederiksberg. She was a Danish painter of still lifes, flowers and fruits. In 1878, she went to Paris to improve her French language skills and devoted herself to the study to paint under the guidance of master teachers. She returned to Denmark in 1880 and exhibited annually at the Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition. Throughout her lifetime she would make several trips to Europe. In 1884, she began to exhibit paintings of flowers and still life paintings and in 1885 and 1886 resived a ministerial grant to continue her studies in Paris. She received a scholarship from the Académie in 1889, 1890 and 1894. She exhibited a large number of paintings abroad with a success. Dohlmann was also active in the formation of the Art Academy’s. The Art School for Women was opened in 1888 in Copenhagen. In 1901 she became the first female member of the Board of the Kunstnerforeningen. In the mid 1890’s she taught drawing and painting in Gothersgade, located on a major street in the Copenhagen. Dohlmann exhibited her work at the Palace of Fine Arts at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois. The painter died in Skotterup on June 22, 1914. Today, her works can be found in private and public collections, including at the Aarhuis Art Museum, Denmark.

'Still Life with Flower Vase on a Table' by David De Noter (1818 – 1892)
Located in Knokke, BE
David De Noter Ghent 1818 – 1892 Bologhine Belgian Painter 'Still Life with a Lapis Lazuli Coloured Flower Vase on a Table' Signature: signed lower right 'David De Noter' Medium: oil on panel Dimensions: image size 35 x 27 cm, frame size 41,5 x 34 cm Biography: David De Noter was born in Ghent on June 24, 1818, and passed away in Saint Eugène Bologhine, Algiers, on January 21, 1892. He was a renowned Belgian painter, celebrated for his detailed still lifes and interior scenes. Born in Ghent, he was the son of Jan-Baptist De Noter, a draftsman and architect, from whom he received his early artistic training. His mother, Carola Maya, married Jan-Baptist shortly before David’s birth. He had a brother, Michaël, who tragically passed away at a young age (1821-1823), and two sisters, Anne-Marie and Edalie. In 1840, De Noter moved to Brussels, and five years later, on November 25, 1845, he married Clemence Wauters in Mechelen. Together, they had seven children. His son Raphaël would also become a painter. By the 1860s, De Noter had relocated to Paris, where it is believed he shared a studio with the well-known art dealer J. Goupil around 1864. In his later years, De Noter and his family moved to Algiers, North Africa, where he contributed a floral still life to the Algiers Museum in 1870. By around 1879, he was living in Le Nador, near Marengo. David De Noter is primarily celebrated for his exquisite still lifes featuring flowers, vegetables, seafood, game, and fruit. He also painted detailed kitchen and salon interiors, as well as genre scenes, often with a strong focus on still life elements within the broader composition. His style combined meticulous realism with a romantic atmosphere, capturing both the beauty and mood of his subjects. During his time in Algiers, De Noter began painting local scenes, including views of the Kasbah of Algiers. Throughout his career, De Noter collaborated with notable artists such as Henri Leys, Guillaume Koller, Louis Tuerlinckx, and Alfred Stevens. His works remain highly valued on the art market today. His paintings were exhibited in various cities, including Kortrijk, Brussels, Rotterdam, The Hague, and Paris. In 1854, he was awarded a gold medal at an exhibition in Brussels. David De Noter’s artwork has been exhibited in prestigious galleries and museums across Europe, showcasing the enduring appeal of his detailed and romantic still life paintings. His works can be found in the permanent collections of several important institutions, including: Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, Brussels; Musée des Beaux-Arts, Cambrai; Stedelijk Museum, Kortrijk; Art Gallery, Leeds; John Selbach Museum, Maaseik; Museum Hof van Busleyden, Mechelen; Musée des Beaux-Arts, Mulhouse; Municipal Collection, Schaerbeek; Museo Revoltella, Trieste; Museo Municipal “Quiñones de León...
