Madonna Maria Piola Paint Oil on canvas 17/18th Century Old master Religious

Madonna Maria Piola Paint Oil on canvas 17/18th Century Old master Religious

Located in Riva del Garda, IT

Anton Maria Piola (Genoa, 1654 - 1715) circle Madonna and Child Genoese school of the second half of the 17th century Oil on canvas 93 x 74 cm.- In antique frame 110 x 92 cm. (Work with expertise by Dr. Arabella Cifani) In the pleasing work proposed, depicting a classical Nativity scene, the Madonna is immortalised in adoration as she gently holds the sheet on which the Child is lying, with a gesture of protection and pride that facilitates an atmosphere of intimate recollection, in addition to the presence of three cherubs at the top. The stylistic analysis of the canvas can easily be traced back to a painter of the Genoese school and active during the 17th century, specifically with the devotional works from the workshop of Domenico Piola (Genoa, 1627-1703), an absolute protagonist of Genoese Baroque culture. Piola was the owner of the most important city painting workshop of the time, known as 'Casa Piola', where his sons Paolo Gerolamo and Anton Maria also collaborated. His production, which specialised in a type of highly decorative, profane and allegorical paintings, destined for the decoration of Genoese patrician palaces, also included a refined series of works of a religious nature. In particular, the style of our beautiful breast painting...

Located in Corsham, GB

A stunning early 17th-century devotional work depicting the Virgin Mary, Queen of Heaven, tenderly holding the Christ Child. Mary is elaborately portrayed wearing a golden crown with flowing dark hair, draped in a teal blue mantle fastened with a gold brooch. This Spanish School painting demonstrates strong Flemish influences through its distinctive style. The subjects' rosy cheeks and stylised facial features, combined with bold colour usage, create a beautiful contrast with the composition's inherent softness and intimacy. The work is beautifully presented in a hand-carved 17th-century Spanish baroque...

Marc Chagall, Motherhood with Centaur, from Chagall, 1957

By Marc Chagall

Located in Fairfield, CT

Artist: Marc Chagall (1887–1985) Title: Motherhood with Centaur (Maternite au Centaure) Year: 1957 Medium: Lithograph on velin paper Paper Size: 9.06 x 7.875 inches (23.01 x 20 cm) Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Inscription: Unsigned and unnumbered as issued Publisher: Maeght Editeur, Paris Printer: Mourlot Freres, Paris Catalogue raisonne reference: Chagall, Marc, and Julien Cain. Chagall Lithographe. Andre Sauret, Editeur, 1960, illustration 207. Cramer, Patrick, and Meret Meyer. Marc Chagall: Catalogue Raisonne Des Livres Illustres. P. Cramer ed., 1995, illustration 34 Notes: Excerpted from the album (translated from French), This album was printed by Drager Freres in Montrouge on behalf of Maeght Editeur, 13, Rue de Teheran, Paris VIII. The original color lithographs were drawn by Mourlot Freres. The photographs of the works printed are of Y. Hervochon, M. Routhier, Draeger. Copyright 1957. Additional notes: This exquisite lithograph by Marc Chagall (1887–1985), titled Maternite au Centaure (Motherhood with Centaur), from the album Chagall, originates from the 1957 edition published by Maeght Editeur, Paris, and printed by Mourlot Freres, Paris, 1957. This lyrical composition merges myth and tenderness, portraying the timeless bond of motherhood through Chagall’s poetic imagination. In Maternite au Centaure, a serene maternal figure is juxtaposed with a centaur—an emblem of instinct and vitality—creating a balance between the human and the mythical. The work resonates with Chagall’s fascination with universal themes of creation, nurturing, and love, rendered in his distinctive language of fluid form and radiant color. Through this synthesis of fantasy and emotion, Chagall transforms mythological symbolism into a meditation on the sacred essence of motherhood. The 1957 album Chagall, published by Maeght Editeur, Paris, and printed by Mourlot Freres, represents one of the great achievements in the collaboration between artist and master printer during the postwar period. Each lithograph in the volume reveals Chagall’s expressive range, from intimate reflection to mythic grandeur, united by his radiant use of color and emotional depth. The project brought together the visionary direction of Aimé Maeght and the technical brilliance of the Mourlot studio, producing works that stand as touchstones of 20th-century printmaking. This publication reflects the spirit of the modern livre d’artiste—where painter, poet, and craftsman worked in harmony to create art that transcends the boundaries of the page. Executed as a lithograph on velin paper, this work measures 9.06 x 7.875 inches (23.01 x 20 cm). Unsigned and unnumbered as issued. The edition exemplifies the superior craftsmanship of the Mourlot Freres atelier, celebrated for its close collaboration with Chagall and its mastery of fine color lithography. The 1957 album Chagall, published by Maeght Editeur, Paris, and printed by Mourlot Freres, represents a landmark collaboration between Marc Chagall and two of the foremost names in 20th-century art publishing and lithography. The album presents a selection of color lithographs that highlight the artist’s poetic vision and technical mastery of the medium. Each work exemplifies Chagall’s distinctive approach to composition—where figures, animals, and symbols of love and faith intertwine in a dreamlike harmony of form and color. The lithographs were printed with exceptional fidelity and brilliance, capturing the immediacy and emotional depth of Chagall’s hand. This publication stands as one of the most significant artistic documents of the postwar period, bridging modernist experimentation and spiritual lyricism through the timeless language of color and imagination. MARC CHAGALL (1887–1985) was a Belarus-born French painter, printmaker, and designer whose visionary imagination, radiant color, and deeply poetic symbolism made him one of the most beloved and influential artists of the 20th century. Rooted in the imagery of his Jewish heritage and the memories of his childhood in Vitebsk, Chagall’s art wove together themes of faith, love, folklore, and fantasy with a dreamlike modern sensibility. His unique style merging elements of Cubism, Fauvism, Expressionism, and Surrealism defied categorization, transforming ordinary scenes into lyrical meditations on memory and emotion. Influenced by Russian icon painting, medieval religious art, and the modern innovations of artists such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Georges Braque, Chagall developed a profoundly personal visual language filled with floating figures, vibrant animals, musicians, and lovers that symbolized the transcendent power of imagination and love. During his early years in Paris, he became an integral part of the Ecole de Paris circle, forming friendships with Amedeo Modigliani, Fernand Leger, and Sonia Delaunay, and his creative spirit resonated with that of his peers and successors Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, artists who sought to push the boundaries of perception, emotion, and form. Over a prolific career that spanned painting, printmaking, stained glass, ceramics, and stage design, Chagall brought an unparalleled poetic sensibility to modern art, infusing even the most abstract subjects with human warmth and spiritual depth. His works are held in the most prestigious museums around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Centre Pompidou, the Tate, and the Guggenheim, where they continue to inspire generations of artists and collectors. The highest price ever paid for a Marc Chagall artwork is approximately 28.5 million USD, achieved in 2017 at Sotheby’s New York for Les Amoureux (1928). Marc Chagall Maternite...

A captivating tondo portrait by celebrated French pastellist Frédérique Vallet-Bisson, trained under Jules-Joseph Lefebvre at the Académie Julian and a regular exhibitor at the Paris Salon from 1890 to 1945. Described in 1909 as "one of the most celebrated pastellists of her time," Vallet-Bisson was renowned for her expressive and refined portrayals of women in the Belle Époque tradition. The composition depicts a young elegant woman in three-quarter view, wearing a dramatic wide-brimmed black hat with feathers and holding an abundant bouquet of white lilies against a luminous twilight landscape. Her academic training is evident in the precise draughtsmanship, while the atmospheric background reveals the Impressionist influences characteristic of her mature work.

Portrait of Anne Evelyn - British 18thC Old master oil painting excellent prov.

By George Romney

Located in Hagley, England

This stunning British 18th century Old Master portrait oil painting, with exceptional provenance, is by noted artist George Romney. It was painted in 1788, commissioned by James Evelyn of Felbridge as it is of his younger daughter Anne, aged 20 years old. James was a Doctor of Law and Anne's mother was his second wife, Jane. Felbridge house, Anne's home, was in the village of Godstone in Surrey. This superb oil painting is a seated portrait of Anne, wearing a white dress with a green sash, her forearms exposed and her hands in her lap. Anne is blessed with the most wonderful long auburn curly hair and is visually stunning. Her body is partly turned away from the artist/viewer and she is slightly gazing down at us with confident, clear eyes. Anne is pictured in a landscape with a dramatic sky behind her. Romney's brushwork on her dress, hair and the background is superb. The delicate detailing of her facial features is also stunning. Sometimes Old Master portraits can be a little staid, but this one of Anne with her wild auburn hair and bold look is just magnificent. This is a fantastic example of George Romney's work and of an 18th century British Old Master with exceptional detailed provenance. Name plate states: Anne, younger daughter of James Evelyn of Fellbridge Esq. 1788, aged 20. Romney. Provenance. With Charles Cecil Cope Jenkinson, 3rd Earl of Liverpool (1784-1851) With The Hon. Henry Berkeley Portman (1860-1923), Later 3rd Viscount Portman; with Emma, Viscountess Portman (1862-1929) By 1926; with her daughter Lady Moyra Dawson-Damer (1897-1962) Thence by family descent. Painted in 1788. There are various labels verso. Mentioned in Lord Hawkesbury's Catalogues of Portraits at Compton Place and at Buxted Park, in Sussex, 1903, p.18, no. 3, at Buxted Park, as in the 'Dining Room, South Wall'. Further Bibliography: Gower (R. S.) Romney, London, 1904, p. 175 Kidson (Alex) George Romney, A Complete Catalogue of his Paintings, New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 2015, I, p. 205, no. 422 (illus).Ward (Humphrey) and Roberts (William) Romney: A Biographical and Critical Essay, London: T Agnew & Sons, 1904, p. 51 Condition.

George Romney (1734-1802) was born in Dalton-on-Furness, Lancashire, on 15 December 1734, the third of the eleven children of John Romney and Anne Simpson. Leaving school at the age of eleven, he worked for eight years in his father's cabinetmaking workshop before being apprenticed to a local painter, Christopher Steele, with whom he served for two years, from 1755 to 1757, in Kendal, York, and Lancaster. He married a Kendal girl, Mary Abbot...
