Shepherd with Sheep, Cows and a Goat in a Landscape by Jan Frans Soolmaker
Located in Stockholm, SE
This painting depicts a pastoral scene that is attributed to the artist Jan Frans Soolmaker, an artist known for his Italianate landscapes and scenes that often feature equestrian and Arcadian elements. The painting is not signed but is attributed to Soolmaker, relating it to a known signed work by the artist that was sold at Sotheby’s London in 1999. The scene is suffused with the warm glow of a setting or rising sun, casting a soft light that is characteristic of Soolmaker’s landscapes. It shows a shepherd guiding a group of cattle across a shallow stream, with the animals taking center stage in the composition. The animals are rendered with careful attention to their forms and the play of light on their bodies, which is a hallmark of Soolmaker's work. The landscape is composed of a rocky terrain with trees and shrubbery, creating a sense of depth and natural beauty that invites the viewer to explore the scene further. The background suggests a vast, open landscape with distant mountains, which adds to the Italianate feel of the painting. The sky is dramatic, with clouds catching the light of the sun, contributing to the overall serene yet dynamic atmosphere of the work. The provenance of the painting is notable, having been in the possession of significant historical figures such as Swedish Prince Fredrik Adolf, and later The collection of Pär Ulmgren, The collection of Gösta Stenman, and Engineer and politician Gustaf Henry Hansson. Potential buyers have the option of choosing between a newly made gold frame or an older brown frame, which allows for personalization in how the work is presented. Soolmaker’s work is often compared to that of Dutch painter Nicolaes Berchem, whose style he emulated. Soolmaker's landscapes reflect a similar sensitivity to light and composition, making his works sought after for their beauty and historical significance. Despite the smaller body of work left by Soolmaker, due to his short career, his paintings are valued for their craftsmanship and the legacy of the artist’s brief but impactful contribution to the Dutch Italianate landscape genre.

The Abduction of the Sabine Women
By Jean François Millet
Located in New Orleans, LA
This dynamic oil on canvas represents one of the most recognized subjects of art history by one of the most important artists of the 19th century. Entitled The Abduction of the Sabine Women, it was composed by the great Jean-François Millet, a painter who is rightfully celebrated as the master of the peasant. Rather than a sower or field laborer, however, this early work captures a mythological narrative, a remarkable rarity for this painter. The dramatic story lends Millet the opportunity to display his command of figure, gesture and tone, revealing the earliest hints of the Realist style that would come to define his artistic genius. This tempestuous scene of a woman being abducted by a man on horseback was composed at a critical point in Millet’s career. After studying at the École des Beaux-Arts under the tutelage of the history painter Paul Delaroche, Millet achieved modest success as a portrait and genre painter. Yet, by the 1840s, he sought to establish himself on a larger stage and began working on classical and historical compositions for the Paris Salon with emphasis on the human figure. The Abduction of the Sabine Women is among his finest compositions during this important period. The narrative refers to an incident in Roman mythology when Roman men abducted women from a neighboring region — known as the Sabines — to take as wives. Under the direction of their founder Romulus, the Romans sought to form peaceful alliances with their neighbors and formally requested the rights of marriage with neighboring tribes. Rome's emissaries, however, were unsuccessful, so Romulus decided upon more drastic measures in order to ensure the security and future of his city. According to Levy, during the festival of Neptune Equester, the Romans successfully fought off the Sabine men and captured the young Sabine virgins, who they then married. Though the action initially resulted in war between the two nations, eventually peace was won thanks to the intervention of the Sabine women, who begged for unity between their families and their new husbands. Throughout art history, The Abduction of the Sabine Women has been depicted by modern and old masters from Giambologna’s 16th-century marble sculpture to masterpieces in oil by Nicolas Poussin, Peter Paul Rubens, Jacques-Louis David and Pablo Picasso. Millet's treatment of the subject reveals his own influences, most specifically the great French Romantic painter Eugène Delacroix. Although the subject pays homage to Jacques-Louis David’s Neoclassicism, Millet’s use of broad, quick brushstrokes and strong color notes of deep blue-greens and oranges displays a Romantic treatment. In assessing this painting, Millet expert Alexandra Murphy writes, “Only a few documented works survive from this period, and [the] painting is important as a reminder that Millet was looking to the example of Delacroix’s work even more than to his own master, Delaroche.” Within a few years of creating the work, Millet turned to realistic subjects and moved to Barbizon, where he lived for the rest of his life. By the 1870s, the artist’s work was well established in Boston collections, but it wasn’t until the 1880s that Millet’s popularity spread to other parts of the country. In 1886, two important painting auctions took place in New York at the American Art Galleries: the sale of the Estate of Mrs. Charles Morgan...
