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.(Biography provided by Peter Harrison Fine Art Ltd)

Reuven Rubin Israeli Aubusson Wool Tapestry Judaica George Goldstein Jerusalem
By Reuven Rubin
Located in Surfside, FL
This is an Aubusson style flat weave hand woven wool tapestry. This is from the George Goldstein Atelier in Jerusalem. (Originally known as Nazareth Tapestries) They produced genuine handmade Gobelin tapestries in Israel). This does not bear a label and is not signed, (it might be one of a kind) It might have been a study for a larger piece. It is based on a painting of a fisherman. In 1964 the first French style weaving studio was inaugurated in Israel, in the new city of Nazareth Ilit. With the encouragement of master Jean Lurcat, woven upon several contemporary masters’ original sketches, such as Jean Lurcat, Hans Hartung, Adolph Gottlieb, Karel Appel, Yaacov Agam, Mordecai Ardon, Reuven Rubin, Danny Caravan, and more. Some of these tapestries encountered their moments of glory during the international exhibitions, such as in the Museum of Modern Art (NY), “Expo Montreal” (Canada), Biennale of Lausanne (Switzerland), and others. In 1967, after the Six-Day War, Nazareth’s workshop closed its doors and returned to Jerusalem, where I opened a new studio with a young team made up of eighteen artisans, dedicating their work more specifically towards Israeli artists. The tapestries are woven upon the original sketches of Yohanan Simon, Naftali Bezem. They can be seen on the walls of the Israeli President’s residence, the Yeshiva University of New York, the University of Haifa, New York Bank Discount, as 60-square meter tapestries for the Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Jerusalem, and in ceremonial art. Tapestries for Parochet and Torah mantles are seen in Washington, Bet-El Springfield, Babson College, Boston, Bet-El Univ. Andover, Bet-El Highland Park and the Strasbourg Great Synagogue in France. Along with Itche Mambush in EIn Hod these were the fine, Gobelin style modern art tapestry...

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...
