Woman with Two Children in Red - Interior Scene in Oil on Canvas Lovely interior scene by notable artist Joseph Tomanek (Cech-American, 1889-1974). A woman sits near a window, holding a small child dressed in bright red in her lap. Another child, somewhat older, stands next to her, looking at the young child. Soft lights spills though the window, illuminating the scene in a warm glow. A plant with red flowers sits on the windowsill, and foliage can be seen outside. Signed "Tomanek" in the lower right corner (note that the shape above the signature is a toy train) Presented in a carved wood frame with a linen liner. Frame size: 30.75"H x 26.75"W Canvas size: 24"H x 20"W Tomanek, the son of a carpenter, was born in Moravia. His family discouraged his art talent and wanted him to be a shoemaker. He studied in his homeland of Czechoslovakia at the School of Design in Prague. He emigrated to America around the turn of the century and arrived in Chicago in 1910 and worked as an interior decorator. He attended the Art Institute of Chicago and studied with Antonin Sterba. He also studied with Albert Krehbiel and K.A. Buehr. He was a member of the Bohemian Artist Club, Association of Chicago Painters, and Sculptors, and the Chicago Gallery Association. His work is included in the collection of the Vanderpoel Art Association (Chicago). He exhibited from the 1910s-40s, including exhibitions at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Georgia Museum of Art. Of the difficulty of posing nudes in Chicago, he said, "In Paris you can rent little gardens studios and pose your models there in privacy.

Mid Century Spanish Romantic Couple Mantilla Portrait Figurative Oil Artist: José Puyet Padilla Title: Majos Medium: Oil on canvas Period: Mid-20th century Dimensions: 51 × 72 cm (20 × 28.3 in) Signature: Signed lower right Inscription: Titled Majo on the reverse Frame: Unframed Condition: Very good overall condition. Stable pictorial surface with visible expressive brushwork consistent with the artist’s technique DESCRIPTION Elegant Mid-Century figurative composition by José Puyet Padilla depicting a romantic Spanish couple in close interaction, rendered with the artist’s characteristic expressive brushwork and atmospheric palette. The female figure, wrapped in a luminous white mantilla, leans gently toward her companion in an intimate gesture that recalls the refined tradition of Spanish costumbrista portraiture reinterpreted through a modern painterly language. The soft transitions of light across the veil contrast with the deep reds and greens of the surrounding composition, creating a strong visual balance typical of Puyet’s mature style. The painting demonstrates the artist’s distinctive handling of facial modeling and fabric textures, especially visible in the treatment of the mantilla and the subtle tonal structure of the background. Works of this type belong to the elegant figurative tradition of Mid-Century Spanish painting, where portraiture and social atmosphere merge into decorative compositions particularly appreciated in international interiors. A refined example of José Puyet’s romantic Spanish figuration with strong decorative presence and collector appeal. ARTIST BIO José Puyet Padilla (1922–2004) was a Spanish painter known for his refined portraits and elegant figurative compositions inspired by Spanish cultural themes and society imagery. Trained under the influence of his grandfather, painter José Padilla, he developed an internationally recognized career with exhibitions in Spain, the United States, Canada, Germany and Italy. His work combines expressive brushwork with a luminous palette and a distinctive interpretation of traditional Spanish subjects. In 1988 he was elected member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Telmo in Málaga. His paintings are held in numerous private collections in Europe and North America. ARTISTIC CONTEXT / INSPIRATION This painting belongs to the tradition of modern Spanish figurative portraiture that revisits historical costume and romantic themes through a painterly Mid-Century language. Comparable decorative and atmospheric resonances can be found in the society portrait tradition of Ignacio Zuloaga, the expressive elegance of Ricardo Macarrón, and the refined figurative interpretations of Spanish identity developed by 20th-century portrait painters working between Madrid and Andalusia. The mantilla motif remains one of the most recognizable visual symbols of Spanish portraiture and continues to hold strong appeal among collectors of European figurative painting. jose puyet painting spanish romantic painting mantilla portrait painting mid century spanish painting spanish figurative oil romantic couple painting...

Hendrik Barend Koekkoek Amsterdam 1849 – 1909 London Dutch Painter 'Figures Strolling through a Forest in Winter' Signature: signed lower right 'H B Koekkoek', c. 1882-1900 Medium: oil on canvas Dimensions: image size 76,5 x 64 cm, frame size 103 x 89,5 cm Biography: Hendrik Barend Koekkoek, often signing as Hendrik Barend (H.B.) Koekkoek, in the realm of 19th-century art, emerges as a captivating painter born in Amsterdam on November 23, 1849. A scion of the esteemed Koekkoek family, he gained renown for his landscapes and woodland scenes, following in the artistic footsteps of his father, marine painter Hermanus Koekkoek. Barend Hendrik Koekkoek’s life unfolds with a certain mystery, his artistic journey shaped by training from his father and, likely, his uncle Marinus Adrianus. In 1878, he tied the knot with Carolina Allardina Cornelia Pierson and ventured into the artistic scenes of Hilversum and Brussels, simultaneously opening an art dealership in Amsterdam. Around 1882, the call of London beckoned, echoing the path paved by his brother Hermanus Koekkoek the Younger. In England, he painted landscapes near Guildford, akin to his cousin Pieter Hendrik Koekkoek. The latter part of his life remains shrouded in obscurity. Barend Hendrik Koekkoek’s artistic style, steeped in the romantic tradition of the Koekkoek family, adorned canvases with landscapes, woodlands, and marine scenes. His London sojourn witnessed the creation of winter landscapes with towering trees, showcased in exhibitions across Dutch cities. He breathed his last in London before 1909. His artistic legacy lives on in institutions like the Paul Tétar van...

Théophile Clément BLANCHARD 1820 - 1849 Oil on canvas 27 x 40 cm (45 x 58 cm with the frame) Signed lower right "Blanchard" Very nice 19th century gilded wooden frame French painter, lithographer and illustrator, Théophile Clément Blanchard is part of of those painters of the romantic era who represented picturesque views of France like Alexis Daligé de Fontenay or Eugène Cicéri. These painters traveled a lot and sought out picturesque sites, particularly in Normandy, Brittany, Switzerland and the Pyrenees. Blanchard participated in the illustration of “Picturesque and Romantic Travels in the Old France”. But the works of this romantic painter are rare because Blanchard died very young at twenty-nine year old ! We still know of him, in particular, a view of Bugey (dated 1846) which is at the Louvre Museum and a “Delicious Landscape” (from the 1840s) at the Salies museum at Bagnères de Bigorre...
