Hermann Corrodi Paintings

Italian, 1844-1905
Herman Corrodi was a Swiss Painter. He was the son of Salomon Corrodi. A New York Times obituary indicates that Hermann was born in Zurich, however his grave marker indicates that he was born in Frascati, which is near Rome. Corrodi studied at the Accademia di S. Luca under his father, Salomon Corrodi (1810–1892) and in Paris (1872). He received commissions for history paintings from the British royal family and was acquainted with most of the European royalty of the time, including a friendship with Queen Victoria and travelled widely in the Far East, including Egypt, Syria, Cyprus and Istanbul, which provided the subject for many of his paintings. He is the brother of Arnold Corrodi. Originally a landscape painter in the academic style, much of Hermann's work is also typical of the Orientalism style of the 19th century. In 1893 he was knighted 'Accademico di Merito' by the Accademia di San Luca, where he had been a professor. The father of the Hermann Corrodi came to Rome early in the last century and established himself here as a watercolour painter. Hermann, who has just died, was born In the little town of Frascati, 12 miles from Rome. He inherited the talent of his father, and every encouragement and assistance to the development of his artistic faculties were given him. Like several other Roman artists, he was gifted with eye-memory, certain effects in nature and certain Impressions of subjects and land scapes remained clearly pictured in his min from the age of 6 years, and 20 years afterward he painted what he considered one of his best pictures from an impression received at that early age. Like most other painters, Hermann Corrodi desired to study the works of contemporary painters In other countries. He, with his younger brother Arnold, was sent to Germany ; and they also passed some time with the painter Calame at Geneva. But it was in Paris that they felt themselves most benefited. There they were possessed with a great enthusiasm for the French school, and from this time onward there Is a complete change in their treatment of subjects and mode of work. Hermann became the painter of poetic landscapes. The Mediterranean, with its blue waters and sun-bleached shores, the life and motion and colour of processions in the little cities on religious festivals and views near Rome In the ever-changing, ever-beautiful Campagna, formed the choice subjects of Corrodi's brush.

Dimensions with frame: 40 x 46 x 6 cm Signed "Bisi" in the lower left corner. This exceptional 19th century European landscape painting depicts a dramatic mountainous panorama animated by an elegant traveling party resting along a wooded riverbank. Executed in the Romantic tradition, the composition masterfully balances sweeping alpine peaks, atmospheric sky, and finely detailed foreground figures. In the distance, rugged mountains rise beneath a luminous sky filled with soft clouds, while warm autumnal tones enrich the rolling hills. The foreground reveals a noble entourage—figures on horseback, attendants, and travelers—gathered along a tranquil river. Their period attire and banners suggest a historical or courtly narrative, adding refinement and storytelling to the natural grandeur of the setting. The artist demonstrates remarkable skill in perspective and light, creating depth through layered mountains and delicate atmospheric effects. The foliage is rendered with meticulous detail, and the interplay of shadow and sunlight enhances the romantic mood of the scene. Likely Continental European, this work embodies the ideals of 19th century Romantic landscape painting, where nature’s sublimity meets human presence. The piece would make a distinguished addition to a traditional, classical, or Grand Tour–inspired interior. A refined and decorative work of strong visual impact, combining historical charm, painterly finesse, and timeless appeal. 19th century landscape painting, antique European landscape, Romantic mountain painting, alpine landscape art, Grand Tour painting, historical scene painting, equestrian figures painting, classical European art, antique oil painting, 1800s landscape artwork, Continental school painting...

Dimensions with frame: 25 x 31 x 4,5 cm Signed "Buono Napoli 1889" in lower left corner. This evocative harbor scene depicts the lively waterfront of Naples, capturing the city’s close relationship with the sea. Warm-toned buildings line the shoreline, their facades reflected in the gently rippling water, while a sailboat glides calmly across the harbor, anchoring the composition in a distinctly maritime atmosphere. Figures bathing and moving in the foreground introduce a sense of daily life and human presence, reinforcing the authenticity and intimacy of this Neapolitan coastal setting. The artist’s confident yet sensitive brushwork allows light and reflection to animate the surface of the water, creating a harmonious dialogue between architecture, figures, and sea. The palette of soft blues, earthy reds, and sunlit ochres evokes the Mediterranean climate and character of Naples, conveying both warmth and tranquility. This painting offers a timeless vision of harbor life in southern Italy, balancing architectural structure with fluid, atmospheric elements. A refined and atmospheric work, ideal for collectors of European harbor scenes, Mediterranean landscapes, and traditional maritime paintings.

Woman with Two Children in Red - Interior Scene in Oil on Canvas Lovely interior scene by notable artist Joseph Tomanek (Cech-American, 1889-1974). A woman sits near a window, holding a small child dressed in bright red in her lap. Another child, somewhat older, stands next to her, looking at the young child. Soft lights spills though the window, illuminating the scene in a warm glow. A plant with red flowers sits on the windowsill, and foliage can be seen outside.

Frame size: 30.75"H x 26.75"W Canvas size: 24"H x 20"W Tomanek, the son of a carpenter, was born in Moravia. His family discouraged his art talent and wanted him to be a shoemaker.

He emigrated to America around the turn of the century and arrived in Chicago in 1910 and worked as an interior decorator. He attended the Art Institute of Chicago and studied with Antonin Sterba.
