Daniel Marot's The Siege of the Dutch Fortified City of Ypres by Louis XIV
By Daniel Marot
Located in Alamo, CA
"Ypres, Grand Ville Riche & Marchande" is an engraving and etching by Daniel Marot (le Vieux) (1661–1752). It depicts a view of the siege of the city of Ypres and its citadel on the left in the Spanish Netherlands by Louis XIV's troops. This battle took place between March 18 and March 25, 1678, as part of the Franco-Dutch War. Marot illustrated in great detail (best appreciated with magnification) the French attack on the strong pentagonal citadel on the extreme left, which had been built recently in anticipation of a French attack. The trenches built by the French approaching the town are seen on the right. King Louis XIV can be seen in the foreground surveying the battle mounted on his white horse, surrounded by his officers and troops. The print is presented in an attractive ornate black wood frame with a cream-colored double mat with a black inner trim. It is glazed with plexiglas. The frame measures 25.38" x 22.63" x .88". The engraving, frame, mat and glazing are in excellent condition. Artist: Daniel Marot (1661–1752) was also called "Le Vieux". He was the son of the famous architect, Jean Marot. Marot had diverse interests and talents. In addition to his art, he designed garden projects, architectural ornaments, furniture, and even upholstery. Marot as a Huguenot protestant was forced to leave France in 1685 following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. He emigrated to Holland, where he worked for William of Orange (an arch enemy of his former employer Louis XIV). Marot was largely responsible for the interiors of Williams palace at the Loo. In 1694 he went Britain as William had married Queen Mary and he had become King William III of England. He later returned to Holland in about 1698 and died in the Hague in 1752. He left a lasting legacy on the decorative arts in the Netherlands, where his grand version of the Louis XIV style remained popular into the 1730s. Historical Background: In October 1677, Mary Stuart, niece and possible successor of Charles II of England, married Louis XIV's arch enemy William III of Orange...

"Noon Silence By A Pond, " Karl Schrag, Bright Colorful Maine Landscape
By Karl Schrag
Located in New York, NY
Karl Schrag (1912 - 1995) Noon Silence By A Pond, circa 1959 Oil on canvas 46 x 42 inches Signed lower right Provenance: Kraushaar Galleries, New York Private Collection, Sag Harbor, New York (acquired from the above) Karl Schrag, a German-born American painter and printmaker whose work combined aspects of European and American modernism lived in New York and Deer Isle, Maine. In a career that spanned more than 60 years, Schrag came to specialize in a painting style characterized by loose, energetic brushwork and resonant colors that restated the concerns of van Gogh, Matisse and Kirchner in contemporary terms. Although he made many self-portraits, his stronger works were paintings and prints of gently pastoral landscapes inspired by his many summers in Maine, works whose cascading strokes and visionary demeanor often brought to mind the art of Charles Burchfield. Schrag was born in Karlsruhe, Germany, in 1912, the son of a prominent lawyer, and settled on his vocation while still a teen-ager. After his family moved to Zurich in 1930, he studied art in Geneva and then in Paris, where his teachers included Roger Bissiere. He came to New York in 1938, continuing his studies at the Art Students League. Schrag had his first solo show in New York in 1947 at the Kraushaar Gallery, which represented him for the rest of his life. Like his fellow emigres Louise Bourgeois, Chagall, Dali, Masson, Miro and others, together with such Americans as George Ortman, Jackson Pollock, and Anne Ryan, Schrag joined Stanley William Hayter's graphics workshop, Atelier 17, itself a transplant from Paris. By 1941, he was showing in the Whitney Annuals. He taught printmaking at Brooklyn College from 1953 to 1954 and at Cooper Union from 1954 to 1968. With the rise of Abstract Expressionism, the postwar period became "a night of the long knives" for figural artists. Schrag survived it better than most as he exhibited steadily, alone and in groups, for more than 40 years, in part because he was not antagonistic to the movement and, by way of Atelier 17 and bars like the Cedar Tavern, knew most of its leading lights. But as he explained in a catalogue statement, he himself did not care to join so "dominant" a direction in art, and besides, he was searching for his own "language of forms." Another reason for his success seems to have been his gift for and emphasis on printmaking. No less an authority than Riva Castleman, the Museum of Modern Art's curator of prints, is quoted as saying that Gabor Peterdi, Mauricio Lasansky and Schrag -- all three of them emigres -- "dominated" American graphics in the 1950's. Hence, it is no surprise to find that some of the finest images in this show are aquatints, one of which is the black-and-white self-portrait reproduced on this page. Another is the head of the writer Bernard Malamud, whose lemon yellow visage, ginger brown jacket and lavender tie...
