Antique Framed Oil Painting on Canvas by Xavier Wurth

About the Item

Antique framed oil painting on canvas by Xavier Wurth (1869-1933) is a captivating work depicting the magical Ambleve River valley. The area in the Wallonia is of intriguing geologic interest due to the nature of the rock formations that have resulted from 500 million years of natural forces. Wurth has created an excellent rendition of the scene using a blue-gray palette with hues of green, and one can almost sense the movement of the water traversing through the foreground. Survives in its original figurative gold frame. Wurth excelled in all areas: portraits, seascapes, and still lifes, although those types are less well known than his landscapes of the Ardennes which made his reputation. Wurth commonly depicted clouds and light with the accompanying luminosity creating a powerful presence on the canvas. His production of oils, watercolors, and drawings was very important in the Liège region, where a Wurth was hung on the wall of all the bourgeois houses. From 1889 to 1893, Xavier Wurth was a pupil of Adrien de Witte and Évariste Carpentier at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Liège. He exhibited many times and won the Prix de Rome. Friend of Richard Heintz, Auguste Donnay and Albert Sirtaine, he gave a particularly delicate shine to the Ardennes landscapes. About ten works can be found at the Museum of Walloon Art. He was also professor of drawing at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Liège from 1921 to 1932. Circa early 1900s Measures 20.5H x 25.5W.

  • Expressionist Tactile Botanical Oil on Canvas Painting Framed
    Located in Oklahoma City, OK
    An exquisite example of this artist's traditional take on still-life realism, and a masterpiece in its own rite. This floral painting represents the artist's awe for botanical and floral scenes as well as his or her adept knowledge of tactile painting. With broad sweeping strokes and high texture, the artist paints a portrait of a small circular Ombre deep blue vase, filled with creamy white ranunculus or buttercups with berry color centers, green eucalyptus and small accents of white hydrangea. Oil on canvas. Framed roughly in a small wood frame, with gilt painted accent inside. How we would display: A botanical painting will forever bring a certain feeling of femininity and softness to a room. This piece would be wonderful displayed in a space with too many harsh lines. Alternatively, we suggest hanging this as part of a grouping of other floral portraits on a large wall to add interest. Another favorite of ours for art is to display pieces on their own in a bedroom. Such as a guestroom or child's room. Hung just above a nightstand (we currently love the idea of using a bombe chest), and just above a table lamp, (perhaps a lamp with a Caprani...
