Michael Dahl Art

Swedish, 1656-1743
Michael Dahl first came to London from Sweden in 1682 where he was for many years the leading rival of Court portraitist Sir Godfrey Kneller (1646 – 1723). After arriving in London, Dahl then travelled across Europe to broaden his training going to Paris, Venice and Rome. After working for some time for the Swedish Queen Christina, who had abdicated and moved to Rome, Dahl returned to London in 1689. After his return Dahl painted many portraits of leading figures of the Court, including multiple portraits of Queen Anne and her husband Prince George of Denmark.

18th Century Oil on Canvas Portrait, Major Alexander Brown in Military Uniform.

By Sir David Wilkie

Located in Cotignac, FR

18th Century Military portrait of a young officer in Napoleonic period military dress. The painting is not signed but the subject is Major Alexander Brown. The work is oil on canvas later mounted on board and presented in a fine 'Regence style' carved gilt frame. There are labels to the back referring to the subject, 'Major Brown of Trinity' and a framers trade label from Edinburgh. A magnificent and imposing portrait of a young military officer in the prime of his life. His red uniform adorned with fine buttons, fringed epaulettes and high gilt collar. His ruddy complexion offset by his stylish hair, a quiff and swept forward to the sides as was the fashion at the time. Sir David Wilkie RA (18 November 1785 – 1 June 1841) was a Scottish painter, especially known for his portraits, including formal royal ones, and scenes from his travels to Europe and the Middle East. He painted successfully in a wide variety of genres, including historical scenes. His main base was in London, but he died and was buried at sea, off Gibraltar, returning from his first trip to the Middle East. He was sometimes known as the "people's painter". He was Principal Painter in Ordinary to King William IV and Queen Victoria. Apart from royal portraits, his best-known painting today is probably The Chelsea Pensioners Reading the Waterloo Dispatch of 1822 in Apsley House. Sir David Wilkie was actually admitted in 1799 (despite only being 14) through the influence of the Earl of Leven...

Male and female portrait, both in silk kimono, possibly textile dealers

By Christoffel Lubieniecki

Located in Amsterdam, NL

CHRISTOFFEL LUBIENIECKI (1659-1729) Pair of portraits of a gentleman and a lady, both in silk kimono, before a country house (circa 1680) Indistinctly signed “C.......” on a box under the man’s left hand Oil on canvas, 79.5 x 67 cm each Both sitters are portrayed wearing a silk “Japanese” coat. During the second half of the seventeenth the Japanese silk coat, an adapted Japanese kimono, became a real vogue in the Dutch elite. The exclusive Dutch trade contacts with Japan can explain the popularity of the kimono-style silk coats in the Netherlands. Everybody who could afford one, dressed in such a fashionable and comfortable coat and, like the present sitters, some proud owners had themselves portrayed in a “Japanese” coat often together with an oriental carpet to underline their standing and international connections. These portraits are the work of the Polish-born portraitist Christoffel Lubieniecki (also known as Lubienitski, Lubinitski or Lubiniecki) Lubieniecki was first trained in Hamburg under Julian Stuhr and after 1675 in Amsterdam under Adriaen Backer and Gerard de Lairesse. He specialized in landscapes, generally of an Italianate character, and in portraits. The loving execution of these contented burghers, enjoying the garden vistas of their country house, places him alongside Amsterdam portraitists such as Constantijn Netscher and Michiel van Musscher...

Portrait of Lady Catherine Stanhope Clarke (1675-1728) Antique Oil Painting

By Michael Dahl

Located in London, GB

This elegant and graceful portrait was painted by Michael Dahl, whom by 1700 became the most successful painter in England - second only to Godfrey Kneller – and at his best, as evident in this portrait, was capable of outperforming Kneller, Richardson, and Seeman. The present work is amongst Dahl’s finest representations of aristocratic women. Presented in a good carved and gilded antique frame. The portrait is said to represent Lady Catherine Stanhope Clarke (1675-1728), who was a daughter of Philip Stanhope, 2nd Earl of Chesterfield (1634-1714) and his third wife Elizabeth Dormer, Countess of Chesterfield (d. 1677). Her father had been one of the many lovers of Barbara Villiers, the most notorious mistress of King Charles II. He was imprisoned in the Tower of London for wounding Captain John Whalley...

Portrait of Miss Lyddell as a Shepherdess c.1710, Antique Oil Painting

By Michael Dahl

Located in London, GB

This elegant and graceful portrait is said to represent Miss Lyddell. Painted by Michael Dahl, whom by 1700 became the most successful painter in England, second only to Godfrey Kneller. It is noteworthy in its state of preservation and its remarkable quality; it is amongst one of Dahl’s finest works of aristocratic women. Presented in an outstanding carved and gilded antique frame which is a fine work of art in itself. The portrait genre was valued particularly highly in English society. Neither landscapes nor allegorical pictures were ever priced so highly at exhibitions and in the trade as depictions of people, from the highest aristocracy to scholars, writers, poets and statesmen. This portrait can be dated to circa 1725 and the occasion for commissioning the picture may have been a birthday or engagement. The curve of the neck and the elegant turn of the head are features typical of the formula used by Dahl. The sitter is fashionably attired in a silver silk dress...

PORTRAIT of Mary Davison, Lady Eden (c.1710-1794) c.1725

By Michael Dahl

Located in London, GB

From the collection of the real-life ‘Monuments Man’, Christopher Norris. As Chief of the British Section of the British Monuments and Fine Arts and Archives in 1946, he enthusiastically engaged in helping to rescue German monuments lying in the rubble and aid their repatriation and also organise the return of collections from repositories scattered over the countryside. These English officers set to work with great vigour, involving wearisome negotiations with English and German officials. These men paid from their own pockets for the chemicals needed for the conservation workshop, which could only be acquired from abroad. This elegant large-scale portrait is a fine example of Michael Dahl’s refined court-style depiction of aristocratic women. The curve of her neck and the elegant turn of the head are features typical of the formula used by Dahl. The portrait can be dated to circa 1725, and has been depicted in fashionably dressed clothing, in a landscape with a rocky outcrop. The shimmering blue azure wrap dramatically flows through the air and off the canvas, providing a sense of movement. Dahl was influenced by Godfrey Kneller but his portraits of woman are distinctly different. It is often remarked that Dahl’s drawing of the heads is better and his style more straightforward producing sophisticated and graceful portraits without the excessive use of props and other distracting elements. The sitter is Mary Davison (c.1710-1794), later Lady Eden - an ancestor of Anthony Eden...
