A beautifully painted en plein air view of "Il ponte dell´Ariccia", Ariccia, and The Alban Hills by Joachim Ludwig Heinrich Daniel Bünsow (Kiel 1821-1910 Ebenda). Oil on paper laid on cardboard. Bünsow received his training at the Royal Danish Art Academy from 1839 to 1848 with Johann Ludwig Lund and Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg. He then traveled to Dresden, where he joined Johan Christian Dahl's circle. A scholarship from the Copenhagen Academy enabled Bünsow to stay in Rome from 1853 to 1858 which is in the period when this painting was made. While Bünsow's early painterly work was based on the fine-toned and naturalistic style of his teachers, the landscapes he created in Italy were influenced by Louis Gurlitt and were more atmospheric and idealizing. Fredrik Bünsow, the son of his brother, Joachim Johann Friedrich Bünsow, also a painter, became a wellknown industrialist and businessman in Stockholm, Sweden. Included in this post is a photo of the family palace that was built 1886-1888 and an interior photo with some other Bünsow paintings hanging on the walls. This painting has been in the Bunsow family until present day. At the beginning of the 19th century, following some economic development, the local government started pushing the Papal State to make the Appian way safer, faster and more accessible. The only possible solution was to build bridges that would cross the Ariccian valley, the two valleys to reach Galloro and finally the ‘Vallone’ to overcome the slope and leave Colle Pardo behind on the way to Genzano. Therefore, in order to adapt to the difference in altitude, in 1843 Pope Gregorius XVI had a six-arched bridge constructed. In the meanwhile, a new route of the Appian Way was being planned – equipped with two more bridges, the Saint Roch Bridge and another minor one, in addition to the large bridge to be built over the Ariccian ‘Vallone’. Construction did not stop with the Pope's death in 1846, and was completed by his successor Pius IX, who entrusted the Monumental Bridge project to an architect from Marche, Ireneo Aleandri, while the execution of the work was entrusted to Giuseppe Bertolini. Work was completed in 1854 and is one of the most important engineering achievements of the 19th century: set on three orders of arches in elegant neoclassical style inspired by Roman art, the bridge is 59 metres high and 312 metres long. Two travertine columns were erected on both ends to recall the Roman milestones...

Portrait d'Homme is an artwork realized by the french artist Alphonse Legros (1837-1911) in 1859. Oil on Canvas. Good conditions except some rips on the edges. Broche du nº 23 du catalogue Malassis-Thibaudeau "Portrait de Frederique Regamey". Collection Thibaudeau. Alphonse Legros was born on May 8, 1837 in Dijon, France. While young, Legros visited the farms of his relatives, and the peasants and landscapes of that part of France are the subjects of many of his works. He was sent to the art school at Dijon with a view to qualifying for a trade, and was apprenticed to an interior decorator. In 1851, Legros left for Paris, but passing through Lyon he worked for six months as journeyman muralist for painter/art restorer Jean-Baptiste Beuchot, who was painting the chapel of Cardinal Bonald in the cathedral.In Paris, Legros studied with theater scene painter Charles-Antoine. He attended also the drawing-school of Lecoq de Boisbaudran (the "Petite école") where he found made friends with Jules Dalou and Auguste Rodin. In 1855, he attended the evening classes of the École des Beaux Arts.Legros sent two portraits to the Paris Salon of 1857: one was rejected, and formed part of the exhibition of protest organized by Francois Bonvin in his studio; the other, which was accepted, was a profile portrait of his father. Art critic Champfleury saw the work in the Salon, and sought out the artist to enlist him in the "Realists," a group anchored by Gustave Courbet.Legros picked up the art of etching by watching a colleague in Paris who worked as a commercial engraver, and taught himself both etching and medallion making. He considered the traditional journey to Italy an important part of artistic training, and in later years, gave part of his salary to augment the income available for a travelling internship.He moved to England in 1863 and in 1864 married Frances Rosetta Hodgson. In his early career, he lived from the sales of his etchings and teaching. He began teaching etching at the South Kensington School of Art and in 1876 became a Slade Professor at University College, London, succeeding Edward Poynter...
