Hugo Anton Possner
Oranges

c. 1885

About the Item

Measures Painting 22.25 x 16.25 inches Framed 30.25 x 24.125 inches Hugo Possner was a 19th-century California artist known for his still-life paintings, particularly of fruit and floral arrangements. His works often featured rich, realistic depictions with fine attention to detail, texture, and lighting. His realistic style, with a focus on fruit, such as oranges—aligns with the type of work he was known for, and which was a popular genre for 19th century American painters. Ironically there are few paintings of oranges in the California school of this period, especially given the prevalence of the citrus culture of the state. This lovely work retains a 23k gold gilt ornate and intricate frame. It’s signed in the lower right corner with initials “H A P”. A perfect painting for a special corner of a home, even in a kitchen or dining room setting. In excellent condition.

Venus Cast - Figurative Painting Colors Black Purple White Yellow Grey
By Lyubena Fox
Located in Sofia, BG
"Venus cast" Oil on canvas (The painting is unframed 70 x 50 cm.) The Painting’s Qualities Lyubena Fox’s paintings are painted in several layers, using both the transparent and opaque qualities of oil paint. Each layer is applied after the previous has dried which makes the painting withstand time. It also creates a glowing, three-dimensional effect, which is due to the different layers showing though each other. These paintings are painted following the logic of how the eye perceives: seeing the details in the context of the form. To create a fulfilling experience, the images are composed of places, full of detail for the eye to explore and places where the eye can rest. “The impressions of Lyubena's paintings on the viewer is so mighty, mesmerizing, grand, that it paralyzes the imagination with its realistic perfection. Her paintings bring emotion of drama, mystery, love, desire and energy, represented by the vast creative power of her talent.” Bio Lyubena Fox was born in 1994 in Sofia, Bulgaria. 2013 she graduated from the National school of fine arts Bulgaria, specializing in illustration. The same year she moved to Florence, Italy to study painting with John M. Angel and in 2016 graduated from Angel Academy of Art Florence, after which she studied with Alessandro Dari. 2017 she has two solo exhibitions in Sofia. 2018 Lyubena has three of her paintings qualified as ARC finalists and later in May studies painting with her favorite contemporary painter Roberto Ferri...
