19th Century pair of French townscape oil paintings
By Henry Schafer
Located in Nr Broadway, Worcestershire
**PLEASE NOTE: EACH PAINTING INCLUDING THE FRAME MEASURES 15 INCHES x 13 INCHES** Henry Schafer German/British, (1841-c.1914) Chartres, France & Metz, Lorraine Oil on canvas, pair, both signed Image size: 10 inches x 8 inches (each) Size including frame: 15 inches x 13 inches (each) A lovely pair of French townscape paintings featuring Cathedrals by Henry Schafer. The first offers a view of Metz Cathedral and other medieval buildings from the river Moselle. On the right, figures can be seen at a market stall whilst others walk down a street. Meanwhile to the left, a boat is shown docking at a quayside in front of an archway. The other painting is of Chartres Cathedral seen from a cobbled town square lined with Medieval buildings. Two figures are depicted next to a market stall on the left as others chat or make their way towards the square along a lane to the right. Henry Schafer was born in Hanover, Germany in 1841. Although little is recorded about his upbringing, he was known to have studied at the l'Ecole National de Beaux-Arts in Paris. After leaving art school, he travelled throughout Europe painting town scenes and buildings of Northern France, Belgium and Germany. By 1864, Schafer had travelled to England with his wife Theresa, to work in London where they settled and started a family. All four of their children were born in England. One of his daughters Emilie Anna Schafer (1871-1937) became a painter and art teacher. Around 1871, the family were living at 53 Vauxhall Bridge Road and in 1881 were recorded as residing at 6, Sophia Terrace, Beulah Road, Thornton Heath in Surrey, with Henry continuing to work as an artist. By 1891, he had moved to 7 St Peters Road in Islington where he lived for the rest of his life. Sometime around the turn of the century, he became a British subject. Schafer is believed to have died in London c1914. Many of his works depict the architecture of gothic cathedrals and churches, as in these two fine examples. He also produced interior studies of churches. Schafer's style resembles that of Alfred Montague...

Windsor Nocturne
By Henry Pether
Located in London, GB
Henry Pether (Flourished 1828 - 1865) Windsor Nocturne Oil on canvas, signed lower right Image size: 30 x 50 inches Gilt frame The strong diagonal of the river leads the eye far into the distance, to where the clouds are silvered by the moon. Henry Pether captures the numinous moment when the heavens fade from blue to midnight blue and clouds acquire an almost sculptural solidity. The moonlight is shining on the buildings, defining the whole range of the castle. The artist recreates the experience of objects coming into focus as the viewer’s eyes become accustomed to the twilight. After gazing for a few moments, we are made aware of the complexity of the foreground scene: a man gazing at the approaching man with horses. Pether employs a very subtle range of colours, from the icy blue of the deep heavens, to a rich range of browns, to the silver-gilt of the moonlight, to evoke a peaceful spring night. This painting can be compared to the similar work, of much the same size and date, in Anglesey Abbey. Here, Pether uses a personal technique, covering his canvas with blue before using a camera obscura to obtain exact shapes and perspective directly from real life. Pether was supremely competent in the technique of representing moonlight shining through cloud by the use of soft glazes over patches of dense paint. Henry Pether was an English landscape painter, the son of Abraham Pether (1756-1812) and brother of Sebastian Pether...
