Frans Mortelmans Antwerp 1865 – 1936 Belgian Painter 'A King of Flowers' Signature: Signed bottom right and placed Antwerp Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: Image size 81 x 51 cm, frame size 103 x 74 cm Biography: Mortelmans Frans was a versatile artist known for his paintings encompassing still lifes, flowers, fruits, landscapes, house interiors, marine views, beach scenes, and portraits. He was also recognized as an accomplished aquarellist and pastellist. Born in Antwerp on May 1, 1865, Frans was the elder brother of the renowned Flemish composer-conductor Lodewijk Mortelmans (1868-1952). Frans spent his formative years in the popular Saint Paul’s parish neighborhood and received his education at the Fine Arts Academy of Antwerp. His mentors included prominent figures such as Edward Dujardin, J.E. Van den Bussche, P. Beaufaux, E. Siberdt, J. Geefs, Albrecht De Vriendt, Karel Verlat, and notably Lucas Schaefels. Initiating his studies in 1876, Frans was among a group of talented peers, including Charles Mertens, Jozef Van Leemputten, Everaard Chappel, Henry Luyten, Josef Dore, Jan Rosier, Evert Larock, Jozef Ratinckx, Piet Van Engelen, and Arthur Pierre. He continued his artistic education at the Higher Institute of Fine Arts in Antwerp, studying under Juliaan De Vriendt and Frans van Leemputten. Frans Mortelmans actively promoted his art by participating in various exhibitions with fellow artists. Notable among these were the Triennial Salons of Ghent, Antwerp, and Brussels. He also held solo exhibitions at the Verlat, Lamorinière, and Wijnen galleries in Antwerp. Additionally, he took part in group exhibitions organized by cultural associations in Antwerp, such as Arte et Labore and De Scalden, as well as those in Mechelen, De Hulst, and De Distel...

A. FERREYROLLES (active around 1880) Bread, fourme de Rochefort-Montagne and pottery on a wooden table Oil on canvas Signed and dated lower right 73 x 59 cm 1881 Few things are known to us about this Auvergne artist, who could to be Antoine Ferreyrolles, born in 1842 in Murat-le Quaire, about thirty kilometers southwest of Clermont-Ferrand; his surname being also very widespread in this part of Puy de Dôme. The Murol museum preserves three of his paintings, local landscapes, and there is a Entombment, painted in 1880 for the decor of the church of Rochefort-Montagne. There is also a Still Life with Game, dated 1886, and apparently in the same vein as our painting. This is executed in a very realistic style, bordering on trompe l'oeil, visibly inspired by artists from the beginning of the 17th century, such as the German Georg Flegel, the Dutch Floris Van Schooten or the Antwerp artist.

Edward Chalmers Leavitt (1842 - 1904) Rhode Island Artist Image Size: 36 x 28 Frame Size: 42.5 x 34.5 Newcomb Macklin Frame. Medium: Oil Dated 1889 "Duck Hunt" Mergansers Edward Chalmers Leavitt (1842 - 1904) Edward Chalmers Leavitt, artist, was born in Providence, Rhode Island, March 9, 1842, the son of Rev. Jonathan and Charlotte Esther (Stearns) Leavitt. His paternal ancestor was John Leavitt, who came to Massachusetts Bay in the first ship and settled in Hingham. On the maternal side, he is descended from John Alden and Priscilla Mullens, who came to Plymouth in the Mayflower. Leavitt was educated in private schools in Providence, and at Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, New Hampshire. During the Civil War in 1862 and 1863, he served in the navy on the U.S.S. Galena. In his profession of artist, Mr. Leavitt is especially noted as a painter of fruit, flowers and still life. He exhibited in the National Academy for several years and has made many successful exhibitions in Providence and Boston. He was a member of the Boston and Providence art clubs, and the Providence Press Club. He was also a member of the Grand Army of the Republic. In politics his proclivities are mainly Republican. He has been twice married: first, May 19, 1877, to Ellen M. Fuller; and second, April 22, 1880, to Elizabeth S. Chace. Submitted November 2004 by Edward Bentley, Art Collector and Researcher from Lansing, Michigan. Source is the publication "Men of Progress: Biographical Sketches and Portraits of Leaders in Business and Professional Life from the State of Rhode Island." New England magazine. 1896. Edward C. Leavitt, born in 1842, has been described as "Providence, Rhode Island's leading still-life painter" in the late 19th Century. (Zellman 324) His teacher, James Morgan Lewin, was a prominent still-life painter in Fall River, Massachusetts, a neighboring town. Leavitt, a detailed, sharp-focused, realistic painter, was in love with texture and light, and was prolific and successful, painting a variety of still life subjects including flowers, fruit and even fish and dead game animals. His objects, including costly antiques and household decorative items, were often placed on ornamental, gleaming surfaces. He was a frequent exhibitor at the National Academy of Design in the 1870s and 1890s. The artist, who died in 1904, moved from a position of success and popularity to being ignored for many years until the publication of William H. Gerdts and Russell Burke's American Still-Life Painting in 1971. It is uncertain whether this disastrous loss of respect took place because Leavitt's work declined in quality during the last decade of his life, or because he was a victim of the periodic shifts in taste and fashion that afflict the arts. Sources: Michael David Zellman, 300 Years of American Art Peter Hastings Falk, Editor, Who Was Who in American Art Biography from Roger King Fine Art Edward Leavitt was one of the leading still life artists of nineteenth century New England. He lived and worked in Providence, and studied with James Morgan Lewin, a leading painter of the Fall River School, which, in the late 19th Century, was one of the most important centers of still life painting. While Lewin branched out into other types of painting, Leavitt remained devoted to the art of the still life. His paintings are sharply focused, realistic, and carefully finished. Ornate objects such as urns, ewers, platters, cut glassware...

This stunning 19th century still life floral oil on panel painting is by noted still life female Norwich School artist Emily Stannard. Emily Stannard and her niece Eloise Harriet Stannard are nowadays considered to be among the most accomplished British women still life painters of the 19th century. Stannard is associated with the Norwich School of painters. She also travelled to Holland to study Dutch art and was given permission to copy Jan van Huysum's work which was then highly praised. She had a long and distinguished career as an artist and many of her works are house in Norfolk Museums. Painted circa 1840, this lovely composition is a naturalistic floral arrangement in an urn on a marble ledge. The flowers are a mix of whites, pinks and blues with some geraniums, roses, daisies and mallow. There is a beautifully detailed dragonfly and butterfly as well as a little snail on the marble ledge. One side of the background is darker than the other which shows of the flowers against it to great effect. The colours are vibrant and brush work detailed. This painting is a fantastic example of Stannard's work and clearly shows how well she deserved her superb reputation as being one of the most accomplished female 19th century still life painters. Provenance: Oscar and Peter Johnson Gallery, London Condition. Oil on panel, 20 inches by 15 inches and in good condition. Frame. Housed in a beautiful gilt swept cradled frame, 27 inches by 22 inches and in good condition. Emily Stannard (née Emily Coppin; 8 February 1802 – 6 January 1885), who from 1826 called herself (even during her long widowhood) Mrs Joseph Stannard, was a British still life painter. She was associated with the Norwich School of painters, Britain's first provincial art movement. Along with her niece Eloise Harriet Stannard, she is considered to be the most accomplished British female still life artist of the 19th century. Stannard was born in Norwich of artistic parents. In 1820, she travelled with her father Daniel Coppin to the Netherlands to study the paintings of Jan van Huysum and other Dutch masters, an episode which influenced her artistic style. She married the Norwich artist Joseph Stannard in 1826, but was widowed four years later. She painted until she was in her eighties, mainly depicting paintings of flowers in vases...
