Francesco Paolo Michetti Paintings

Italian, 1851-1929

Francesco Paolo Michetti was an esteemed, multifaceted Italian painter of the 19th century who specialized in historical subjects, genre painting and landscapes. His ability to master many different media, such as watercolors, tempera and pastels, made him one of the most respected Italian painters of the 19th century. Michetti was awarded a stipend by his home province of Chieti to study at the Istituto di Belle Arti di Napoli (Institute of Fine Arts in Naples) in 1868 under noted painter Domenico Morelli. After being forced to withdraw, Michetti moved to Paris, where he debuted his work at the Paris Salon of 1872. His artistic debut in Naples, where he displayed his energetic and colorful work La Processione del Corpus Domini (The Procession of Corpus Christi), propelled him to international fame and he soon became an artistic celebrity. Michetti’s works, while all vivacious and full of life, vary in subject matter and medium. His mastery of several different media allowed him to dabble in everything from genre watercolors of shepherdesses and children, to pastel portraits and tempera figure studies. His paintings are generally characterized by colorful palettes, dynamic and painterly brushstrokes and the interplay of color and light. During his career, he exhibited throughout all of Italy, including Turin, Milan, Venice and Rome, as well as other European cities, such as Antwerp. Later in his life, Michetti was recognized as a member of the Accademia Pontaniana of Naples, as well as admitted into the Accademia di San Luca (Academy of St. Luke) in Rome. His reputation as one of the most prolific Italian painters of the 19th century remains true to this day.

Artist Edward Cucuel and his wife Clara Lotte von Marcard spent their first two decades together in Germany, mostly in a villa on Lake Ammersee in Holzhausen near Munich. It is the works created in this period, mainly outdoor scenes of young women in fashionable attire of the day, that are most collected and appreciated among his works. It’s easy to see why- they capture an elegance and sense of calm and easy leisure- of long days in gardens or by the water.  This is one of those captured moments with a well-dressed woman watching the sailing yacht...

Impressionist Painting of a Bohemian Woman Budapest 1925 Bertha De Hellebranth

Located in Rochester, NY

Bohemian woman Budapest, Hungary 1925 by Bertha De Hellebranth. Fabulous period painting brings to life the bohemian intelligentsia of Europe in the 1920's. I believe the painting is of the artists sister Elena Maria De Hellebranth. Both sisters were accomplished artist and worked and exhibited together. See the photo of the sisters Elena on the left and Bertha on the right. Oil on canvas. In a period frame. Signed lower right. Inscribed on reverse. Provenance: label from Newman Galleries Philadelphia. BIOGRAPHY ; Bertha de Hellebranth and her sister Elena were born into a cultured upper-class family in Budapest, Bertha in 1899, Elena in 1897. Their father was a lawyer and their mother a student of Franz Liszt's last living pupil. Both sisters showed artistic potential early, beginning to paint at four or five years of age. Their parents encouraged them, and had the means to send them to the best art schools of the time. They studied at the Academy of Fine Art in Budapest, at the Académie Julian and the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris, and painted portraits of European nobility. As Patricia Fazekas points out, "Growing up in a family of privilege, they seemed to have unusual access to many illustrious people." So we should not be surprised to find among their subjects members of high society, such as Count Andrássy Gyula, the Russian-born Princess Baby Galitzine, and Admiral Horthy Miklós, the Regent. Later on, their subjects included American heiress Gladys Vanderbilt (Countess László Széchenyi), President Theodore Roosevelt's granddaughter Paulina Longworth and former President Dwight D. Eisenhower.Often, the sisters would paint the same subject at the same time, offering the sitter a choice of portraits. Most often, the sitter wanted both renditions.While Elena concentrated on working in oil and watercolor, Bertha used gouache and oil to achieve her effects. Elena gave lectures and workshops, was a writer and also wrote popular and ecclesiastical music, while Bertha also went in for sculpture and handicrafts.From the mid-thirties until World War II, Bertha and Elena divided their time between their home in Budapest and a home on the ocean at Ventnor, NJ. In 1925, they showed their work at the Nemzeti Szalon in Budapest, and in 1926, they had a joint exhibition of their portraits in the US. Both exhibited their work at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and most major museums and galleries in the US. Bertha also had exhibits at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Both Bertha and Elena were Fellows of the Royal Society of Art (London), and garnered numerous prizes. Bertha was awarded First Prize by the National Academy of the American Water Color Society one year, and the Grand Prize of the Audubon Society. She was one of the founders of the now defunct World League of Hungarian Artists Abroad (Külföldi Magyar Képz?m?vészek Világszövetsége), and received a Gold Medal from the Cleveland Árpád Akadémia in 1963. (Elena also received the Akadémia's gold medal in 1965.) Their work is found in museums and galleries too numerous to mention.The de Hellebranth sisters were devout Catholics, and this is evident in their many portraits of clerics...
