Adolf Schreyer Figurative Paintings
German, 1828-1899
Adolf Schreyer (1828-1899) was a renowned German artist known for his exceptional skill in painting equestrian and Orientalist subjects. Born on May 9, 1828, in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, Schreyer showed a talent for art from a young age.
At the age of 16, Schreyer began his formal artistic training at the Städel Institute in Frankfurt. He later traveled to Düsseldorf, where he studied under the influential landscape and genre painter, Johann Wilhelm Schirmer. Under Schirmer's guidance, Schreyer developed a keen eye for capturing atmospheric effects and natural landscapes.
In 1854, Schreyer embarked on a journey that would have a profound impact on his artistic career. He traveled to North Africa, including Algeria and Egypt, where he immersed himself in the vibrant culture and landscapes of the region. The time spent in the Orient greatly influenced his artistic style and subject matter.
Schreyer's paintings often depicted scenes of Arab horsemen engaged in battle or moments of intense action. His ability to capture the energy and movement of horses, as well as the exoticism of the Oriental settings, earned him considerable acclaim. His works were highly sought after by collectors and art enthusiasts of his time.
The artist's Orientalist works were characterized by their meticulous attention to detail, vibrant colors, and dramatic lighting. Schreyer's ability to convey the intensity of battle scenes, the grace of horses in motion, and the rich cultural traditions of the Arab world set him apart as a master of his craft.
Throughout his career, Schreyer received numerous accolades and recognition for his art. He exhibited his works extensively in Germany and other European cities, including Paris and Vienna. Schreyer's paintings were also well-received in America, where they found a significant market.
Today, Adolf Schreyer's works can be found in prestigious museums and private collections around the world. His legacy as one of the foremost Orientalist painters of the 19th century continues to captivate art enthusiasts and collectors alike. Adolf Schreyer passed away on July 29, 1899, leaving behind a rich artistic legacy that remains influential to this day.to

Cuddly (black old dog, snout, lady, vintage, animal, surrealist oil painting)
By Rudolf Kosow
Located in Quebec, Quebec
"Cuddly," a charming painting by Rudolf Kosow, depicts a tender and affectionate moment between a dog and its human companion. The dog’s face, with soulful eyes and a furrowed brow, is portrayed in stunning detail, conveying a sense of gentle wisdom and patience.
A small lady figure, fitting perfectly within the curve of the dog's face, leans in close, as if finding comfort and protection in the animal’s embrace. The gesture of the figure, with a hand delicately placed, highlights the trust and love inherent in this bond.
This piece beautifully encapsulates the warmth and security that pets provide. Kosow's artwork celebrates the simple, heartwarming connections that form the cornerstone of our relationships with our animal friends, reminding us of the comfort and joy found in their company.

Fine 19th century oil painting of a bustling Austrian/Germanic village with horse, rider and various figures outside an Inn, attributed to Arthur Georg Ramberg (1819-1879), well known for figurative genre paintings. The rider is carrying a bugle, apparently announcing news to the people; men are sitting by the table drinking, one with a raised stein. Women walking by stop to listen, a man carrying a sack has stopped to watch the rider, people are in the Inn doorway, and one is looking out the window. Children pause their playing. The scene is under a large tree beside the Inn; a whole community waiting for news.
There is a great deal of detail in the scene, tree and Inn house...
