Harbor Reflections Oil Painting by Emily Hoffmeier
Located in Wiscasset, ME
Oil on artist board, signed Emily Hoffmeier lower left Most likely a scene of Nantucket harbor and presented in what could be the original frame with a slightly highlighted silver finish. Presents well overall measuring 16.5" x 20.5" including the frame. From 1929 to her death in 1952, Emily Hoffmeier (1888-1952) spent summers on Nantucket, painting in the waterfront studios—first Harborview No. 3 and later moving to the Red Anchor Studio on Washington Street. She exhibited in the Easy Street Gallery, the Candle House Studio, and later at the Kenneth Taylor Galleries.

A graduate of Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, Massachuetts, Hoffmeier taught art classes at the college for several years. From 1917 to 1951 she was a teacher at West Chester High School in Pennslyvania, where she headed the mathematics department. In addition to enrolling in the plein air classes of Frank Swift Chase...

Antica coppia di dipinti a olio "Paesaggio"firmati , Germania, Jugendstil, 1901
Located in Traversetolo, IT
Questa splendida coppia di dipinti a olio "Paesaggio" si basa formalmente su un naturalismo che insegue una verosomiglianza nella rappresentazione della realta',anche attraverso un pittoricismo che abbozza la forma con una pittura veloce,carica di vibrazioni luminose e cromatiche.A livello compositivo le due tele sono in linea con un elegante gusto Jugendstil,con una composizione che predilige forme esili e sfrutta le forme vegetali per comporre prezioso intreccio decorativo.L'autrice di questa coppia di paesaggi presenta una notevole tecnica di formazione accademica,che si esplica in un'alta ricerca di resa naturalistica.L'artista mostra anche di essere un rappresentante dell'ambito Art Nouveau di inizio XX secolo ,in una composizione dal disegno complesso e che riporta anche qualche ispirazione di gusto esotico,soprattutto dall'arte giapponese...

Antique and Vintage Paintings for Sale on 1stDibs

When paired with the perfect frame, the right antique and vintage paintings and other wall decorations can either subtly showcase your personality or steal the show altogether. 

The earliest paintings were created on the walls of caves, proving even our ancient ancestors knew that striking artwork is meant to be on display. Cave paintings on an Indonesian island are reportedly older than the earliest cave art in Spain and France, and the figurative paintings back then were produced with inorganic pigments like iron oxide.

Later, the people of Ancient Greece — who learned about art from the Egyptians before them — conceived panel paintings of wax and tempera that were collected and publicly displayed. In the centuries that followed, artists would be commissioned to create large-scale wall murals and frescoed ceilings in sprawling European palaces and in the homes of the aristocracy.

Today, 1stDibs makes it easy for you to celebrate this rich history in your own home. Our collection of paintings includes Art Deco paintings, baroque art and a broad range of other categories. Search by material, period or other attributes to find the right fit — browse an array of 19th century landscape paintings in giltwood frames or abstract oil paintings and portraits made during the 1950s and ‘60s.

An understated contemporary work can complement your space’s color palette without drawing the focus away from the other pivotal design choices you’ve made over the years. Roy Lichtenstein’s Pop art, on the other hand, demands attention with its array of vibrant hues and subjects inspired by popular culture. 

Whether you aim to create a gallery in your home or build a single, stunning focal point, you can find what you’re looking for in an extensive inventory of paintings on 1stDibs.
