Floral Still Life with Camellia and Daisies, Naturalistic Oil Painting signed

Located in Genève, GE

Signed and dated "C. Leroy 1840" in the lower right corner. A finely executed floral still life depicting an elegant arrangement of camellias and daisies in a transparent glass vase, set upon a wooden surface. The composition is carefully balanced, with lush pink camellia blossoms contrasted against the delicate white petals of daisies, creating both visual richness and botanical variety. The artist demonstrates a high level of technical skill in the rendering of textures: the velvety softness of the camellia petals, the crisp structure of the daisies, and the subtle reflections and refractions within the glass vessel. The dark, neutral background enhances the luminosity of the flowers, a compositional device rooted in traditional European still life painting. The palette is harmonious and refined, combining warm pinks and greens with deep, earthy browns. Fine craquelure across the surface attests to the painting’s age and authenticity, while contributing to its visual character. This work reflects the enduring tradition of 19th century naturalist and academic still life painting, appealing to collectors of classical floral compositions and decorative fine art. floral still life painting, camellia painting oil, daisies still life, 19th century flower painting...

Scottish Iona Island, Seas, shore, sails and coastline, 19th Century

By Duncan Cameron

Located in Hillsborough, NC

Fine painting of iconic Iona Island coast by celebrated Scottish artist Duncan Cameron (1837-1916). Renowned for his landscape paintings, this work captures the natural light on the sea, sand and rocks with splashes of rich color under a big sky. Iona off the west coast of Scotland, has attracted artists for for its dramatic scenery and northern light, including the Scottish Colourists who favored the fresh pure light. The cliffs and coastal rocks are reminiscent of works by Samuel Peploe, John MacLauchlan Milne, Francis Cadell, and Duncan Fergusson of this fabled island. In 1876 Cameron won a Gold Medal for landscape painting, at the Crystal Palace exhibition. The year after this painting (circa 1870s) Cameron began exhibiting in the Royal Academy, Society of British Artists, and Royal Scottish Academy, showing his work consistently from 1880. Other venues for exhibiting his work include the Glasgow Institute, Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, Manchester City Art Gallery, and the Royal Hibernian Academy. His work is sold today in Fine Art Galleries in the UK and in Saltire Gallerie, USA. His landscape paintings are widely acclaimed, and this landscape painting of considerable size and detail is a fine example. Born in Perthshire, Cameron studied in Dundee and in South Kensington, London. He later died in Edinburgh. The highest auction sale of his work reached nearly 20,000 GBP. He was widely acclaimed as a landscape artist, painting Scottish farmlands and haystacks, coastal scenes and lochs. In this work the colors of the sea change from blue to green with white crests of waves. The rocks have splashes of red, rust and orange, and the beach has red and green in the sand. Water laps at the edge of beach and rock. A sailboat is a focal point, with distant sailboats on the water, and a rowboat by the central sailboat. A hill rises behind the beach painted...

Self Portrait Of The Artist Munich 1875 Bavarian Münchner Schule Oil Painting

Located in Sutton Poyntz, Dorset

Albin Mattenheimer. German ( b.1823 - d.1875 ). Self Portrait, Munich 1875. Oil On Canvas. Signed & Dated Lower Left. Image size 34.1 inches x 26.6 inches ( 86.5cm x 67.5cm ). Frame size 42.5 inches x 34.8 inches ( 108cm x 88.5cm ). Available for sale; this original oil painting is by the German artist Albin Mattenheimer and is dated 1875. The painting is presented and supplied in its original period frame (which is shown in these photographs). The frame has benefitted from cleaning, restoration and reinforcement, which was performed on our instruction, supervision and approval. The canvas and the painted surface have been professionally restored whilst in previous ownership, probably within the last 20 years. This includes a couple of repairs to perforations in the canvas which are of good material integrity. This antique painting is in good condition. It wants for nothing and is supplied ready to hang and display. The painting is signed and dated 1875 lower left. Albin Mattenheimer (1823–1875) was a German painter associated with the artistic traditions of Bavaria during the nineteenth century. Born in Bamberg in 1823, he belonged to the distinguished Mattenheimer family of artists, several generations of whom worked as painters, restorers, and teachers in southern Germany. The family had established a notable artistic reputation from the eighteenth century onwards, particularly through Andreas Theodor Mattenheimer and his descendants, who were active in Bamberg, Munich, and other Bavarian cultural centres. Mattenheimer studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, one of the most important artistic institutions in Germany during the nineteenth century. He subsequently worked in Munich and is generally regarded as a landscape painter. His surviving recorded works include views of Nuremberg and other Bavarian subjects, reflecting the enduring popularity of topographical and landscape painting in the period. He is often associated with the circle of painters known as the Chiemseemaler, artists inspired by the scenery of the Chiemsee region of Upper Bavaria. Like many German painters of his generation, Mattenheimer worked during a period when Romanticism was gradually giving way to a more naturalistic approach to landscape and genre painting. His works demonstrate an appreciation of atmosphere, place, and the character of the Bavarian countryside. Although comparatively little is known about his career today, Mattenheimer’s paintings occasionally appear on the art market and are represented in specialist reference works on nineteenth-century German art. His relative obscurity has meant that much of his oeuvre remains under-researched, and works by the artist are consequently of particular interest to collectors of German and Central European painting. Albin Mattenheimer died in 1875, leaving behind a small but intriguing body of work that forms part of the rich tradition of nineteenth-century Bavarian painting...

Nordic Winter Landscape, Oil on Canvas, Signed, Early 20th Century
Nordic Winter Landscape, Oil on Canvas, Signed, Early 20th Century

Nordic Winter Landscape, Oil on Canvas, Signed, Early 20th Century

Located in Stockholm, Stockholm

Nordic winter landscape with low growing pines and spruces rising from softly undulating snow covered ground and rocks. In the distance, dark forests and snow clad mountains emerge along the horizon beneath a pale blue sky. Executed with expressive brushwork and a restrained yet luminous palette, the painting captures the stillness and clarity of the Scandinavian winter. Oil on canvas mounted on board, signed John Öhwall. John Öhwall (1883–1957) was a Swedish painter best known for his realistic and atmospheric depictions of the Nordic landscape, particularly scenes from Bohuslän and Skåne. His art is characterized by vigorous brushwork, restrained yet expressive coloration, and a strong sensitivity to seasonal light and the quiet monumentality of the Scandinavian countryside. Öhwall was born in Skåne, and initially trained as a decorative painter before turning to fine art. In 1903 he began his artistic studies under the influential Swedish painter Carl Wilhelmson in Gothenburg, whose teaching had a lasting impact on his artistic development. Between 1908 and 1914, Öhwall undertook extensive walking journeys through Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, and Italy while pursuing independent artistic studies. During this period he also studied for an extended time at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden and at Chrakovsky’s painting school in Rome. During the war years, from 1914 to 1917, he periodically continued his studies at Wilhelmson’s painting school in Stockholm. In the early 1920s he permanently settled on the Swedish west coast, a region that would provide inspiration for many of his most important landscape paintings. Öhwall made his debut as an exhibitor at Gummesons Konsthall during the 1910s, followed by solo exhibitions in Gothenburg, Oslo, and Norrköping. Together with Tor Otto Fredlin...

Fishermen at Low Tide, Oil on Canvas, Framed, 20th Century, Atmospheric Marine

Located in Genève, GE

A superb coastal landscape by C. Follini, signed, depicting fishermen and fisherwomen gathered along a windswept shoreline at low tide. Executed in oil on canvas and signed in the lower right corner, the painting is a remarkable example of late nineteenth- or early twentieth-century European marine painting, distinguished by its atmospheric light and expansive sense of space. The composition unfolds across a broad sandy beach where small groups of figures are engaged in the daily activities of a fishing community. Several boats rest on the shore while waves break gently along the coastline. Above, an immense sky filled with dramatic clouds dominates the scene, becoming the true protagonist of the composition. Through subtle tonal transitions and luminous passages of light, the artist masterfully captures the ever-changing atmosphere of the sea. Particularly striking is the treatment of the sky, which occupies a substantial portion of the canvas and lends the work a profound sense of openness and grandeur. Soft grays, silvery blues, warm creams, and muted ochres are orchestrated with remarkable sensitivity, creating a rich atmospheric effect reminiscent of the great traditions of Dutch, Belgian, and French marine painting. Rather than focusing on anecdotal detail, Follini emphasizes mood, weather, and the relationship between human activity and the natural environment. The small scale of the figures compared to the vast beach and sky reinforces the poetic dimension of the work, evoking both the beauty and the power of the coastal landscape. The artist's confident handling of paint is evident throughout the composition. Broad brushstrokes and subtle impasto passages animate the clouds, sea, and sand, while preserving a remarkable sense of unity. The restrained palette contributes to the painting's elegance and timeless appeal, making it both an important marine subject and a highly decorative work. Combining genre painting, maritime life, and atmospheric landscape, this composition embodies the enduring appeal of European coastal art. It would make a distinguished addition to a collection of marine paintings, maritime subjects, or nineteenth- and early twentieth-century European landscapes. A poetic and beautifully executed seascape celebrating the rhythms of coastal life beneath a magnificent sky. C.
