Thomas Willeboirts Bosschaert (1614–1654) – Pan Plays to the Dance of the Putti, Oil Sketch (Modello) This oil sketch by the Flemish Baroque painter Thomas Willeboirts Bosschaert, a leading history painter in the Antwerp circle of Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony van Dyck, shows Pan playing the flute to a ring of dancing putti and a young satyr. The attribution has been confirmed by Prof. Hans Vlieghe, and the work is published in the artist's catalogue raisonné (Axel Heinrich, 2003, cat. A 58). Oil on canvas, 35 x 51 cm (13 3/4 x 20 1/8 in) **The Composition** At the left edge, a dark-haired flute player sits in a recess hung with drapery; before him, a fallen bowl spills its water. On the right, five putti dance in a circle – the one on the left, with goat legs, identifiable as a young satyr. A dark mountain landscape fills the background beneath a sky lit by a rising or setting sun. The flute player is most readily read as Pan, god of shepherds and music, traditionally shown with his pipes, associated with dance and at home in the mountains of Arcadia. An interpretation as Bacchus, god of wine and ecstasy, is also possible: satyrs belong to his retinue, and the spilling water may allude to Lethe, the river of the underworld and symbol of oblivion. **An Oil Sketch in the Rubens Tradition** The partly unfinished execution reveals the work as a preparatory oil sketch (modello). Some passages, such as the flute player, are almost fully worked up, while the putti and the horizon are only indicated in outline. Such sketches, made in preparation for larger history paintings, are characteristic of the working practice of Rubens, Van Dyck and their collaborators. The sketch is closely related to Bosschaert's Children's Bacchanal in Kassel, in which a crowd of putti celebrates around the drunken infant Bacchus; the compositional structure and the treatment of the putti are strikingly similar. Further parallels appear in his Cupid with a Tamed Lion (Amor Triumphans) and in his oil sketch Venus Restraining Mars – Allegory of War, which features the same standing putto facing the viewer. The work also demonstrates Bosschaert's close stylistic affinity with Van Dyck. Van Dyck's Triumph of Bacchus shows comparable putti, the same concentration of figures on the right, a similar yellowish sky and a fallen bowl (there filled with fruit). His Rest on the Flight into Egypt likewise places a ring of dancing putti on the right, with the Holy Family in place of the flute player on the left. A possible model is a print by the Italian artist Giulio Carpioni (1613–1678), which shows a very similar composition in reverse: dancing putti, one of them a goat-legged satyr, beside a curly-haired flute player with goat's legs. This oil sketch is a significant addition to Bosschaert's oeuvre, illustrating both his spontaneous working method and his stylistic closeness to Van Dyck. Presented in a black ebonised profile frame with gilt slip. **The Artist** Born in Bergen op Zoom in 1614, Thomas Willeboirts Bosschaert trained in Antwerp under Gerard Seghers...

"Spring Journey" is an original acrylic painting on canvas by Tom Perkinson. His use of saturated violets, vivid yellows, and resplendent oranges pushes color to almost-otherworldly realms. The viewer is invited to step into the painting to explore the scene within and imagine gazing at an easel of a plein-air painter with the blue sky, clouds, and terrain in full view. Here, Perkinson chose to depict a tribal group traveling during springtime with the vast sky above. Tribal members are both on foot and horseback, and comprise of men, women, and children - all trekking across the landscape beneath the foothills to a destiny unknown to us as the viewer. Perkinson describes his style of painting as "Romantic Realism," a technique that incorporates two iconic art movements. This style, in combination with the imagination of the artist, produces remarkable results, showcasing Perkinson's keen ability to capture emotion, nature, and life - all in a brushstroke. Both his technical talent and choice of subject matter pair perfectly with its original raw wood frame. The frame is by Legendwood in Sedona, Arizona, which no longer exists. Their frames are highly collectible, as they are rare, custom, and handmade. This masterful work would make a great addition to an art collection and enhance most any home, perfect for those who have an affinity for landscapes, impressionism, romanticism, realism, Southwestern Art, Native American themed art, plein-air painting, and nature. In the artist’s own words: “My color combinations aren’t in the realm of the natural world, because I don’t paint reality; I’m a painter of fiction. I try to paint a sense of place, as though this scene really does exist. I have had my collectors ask me where this scene is, and I just have to point to my head and say I made it up. Thus, I think of my work as romantic realism. I’m painting a certain reality that I’ve invented, inspired by the fascinatingly rich Southwestern landscape.” “Color gets all the credit, but it’s the values that do all the work. I don’t begin with sketches, because I want to be free to follow the painting in any direction. I start with washes of different values and tints. Then, I begin to look for a landscape. Several directions will appear to me at this time, and then I have to decide on one of them. During these first few moments, I must establish my distance from the scene. Am I a mile away or just across the river? This is one of the first steps, and I have to decide before I can continue. It’s important for working out the perspective and how things are going to relate to one another in the picture. Then, as the landscape evolves, I look for more images to add to the composition.” Artist: TOM PERKINSON (1940-) Title: SPRING JOURNEY Medium & Surface: ORIGINAL ACRYLIC PAINTING ON CANVAS (framed) Signed: HAND SIGNED BY ARTIST LOWER RIGHT Year Created: CIRCA 1979 Country of Creation: UNITED STATES Image Area Dimensions: 12 x 16 INCHES Frame Dimensions:* 19.5 x 23.625 x 2.125 INCHES *This work of art is being sold framed.

About the Artist: Tom Perkinson, born in Indiana in 1940, has become distinguished as a regional painter, known for his work grounded in the visually dramatic landscape of the Southwest. As a child, Perkinson discovered he had a love for the natural landscape, and a talent for art. He fostered that talent through classes at the John Herron Institute of Art in Indianapolis, and then at the Chicago Art Academy upon graduating from high school. He received a degree in art from Oklahoma Baptist University in 1964, before moving on to graduate school at the University of New Mexico. Here, among noted works of a larger scale, he continued to paint the landscape, and it was this work that began to reflect a new fascination with the Southwest. He had found what would become an infinite source of inspiration. Influenced by early painters of the southern Indiana landscape...
