‘Les Peintures des Taxidermistes’ No.6. Art Print Photo by Sinke & Van Tongeren
Located in Haarlem, NL
The third series of photographs by fine Taxidermists Sinke & Van Tongeren
After observing and analysing so many 17th century paintings, they were inspired to create a new series of work focused on still life masterpieces. They chose photography as the medium to portray their fine Taxidermy work interpreted through vanitas still lifes.
The collection, ‘Les Peintures des Taxidermistes’, comprises eight works.
Vanitas still lifes were enormously popular in the 17th century, often inspired by biblical themes and the saying that “All is vanity”. It reminded the viewer of his or her own mortality. For these series of still lifes Sinke & van Tongeren not only created meaningful scenes of taxidermy, they also mined their enormous collection of great finds to gather the most beautiful and unusual antiques to complement each scene.
Title of this work; ’RÉUNION D’OISEAUX ÉTRANGERS’
Cabinets of curiosity were of monumental importance in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. Assembling them with interesting and rare objects was a competitive hobby amongst the elite, and to collect a great number of mounted species from everywhere in the world was the Holy Grail of the day. For ‘Réunion d’oiseaux étrangers’, we created that Holy Grail again, but this time stocking our cabinet with seemingly live species. This plentiful composition is staged in a cabinet with different boxes holding rare species such as a Toco Toucan, Scarlet ibis, Cock of the Rock...

18th Century, Italian Oval Painting by Pietro D Ollivero with Historical Subject
Located in IT
Painting by Pietro Domenico Ollivero.
"Manio Annio Curio Dentato receives the ambassadors of the Samnites", around 1740
The work in question depicts the scene of and was made by the famous italian painter Pietro Domenico Ollivero. The oval canvas shows on the back the card of the Galleria Caretto in Turin (Italy) with the authentic 1965 Giorgio Caretto. The work was also published in "I Piaceri e le grazie" by Arabella Cifani and Franco Monetti in 1993.
The subject refers to the history of Rome and an episode narrated by the historian Valerio Massimo.
Manius Curius Dentatus (330 BC - 270 BC), one of the great Romans of the 3rd century B.C. was a consul in ancient Rome, known for ending the Samnite Wars. Elected consul in 290 BC. along with Publio Cornelio Rufino, in the same year he fought and won the Third War against the Samnites and their allies, thus ending a conflict that had lasted for 49 years. He definitively subdued the Sabines and the Greek army of Pyrrhus in the battle of Benevento. He represented the ideal prototype of ancient Roman for the generations that followed in that he avoided public honours; Cato the censor, who collected his sayings, placed him among the great figures of universal history. For centuries after his death (in 270 B.C. while overseeing the construction of the second aqueduct in Rome) his military exploits were recounted and his moral rectitude was praised as an example for all the Romans. Ollivero, in the cultured choice of the episode, illustrates the moment when Manio Curio Dentato is found in his home, characterized by Roman walls, sitting by the fire, on a rustic bench while eating his meal in a "ligneo catillo" (wooden basin...

The temptation of St Anthony. Oil on canvas. 17th c., after David Teniers II
Located in Madrid, ES
Temptations of San Antonio Abad. Oil on canvas. 17th century, following the model of David Teniers II (Antwerp, 1610-Brussels, 1690).
Oil on canvas showing a figurative scene located inside a cave. To the right, you can see a cross standing, supported; to the left, a hut; and in the center of the painting appears an elderly, bearded man, leaning on a table on which there is a ceramic jug and a skull, with an open book at the foot of it. The man looks towards a woman, who points to something outside, and appears accompanied by a large frog and a series of ghostly beings or monsters dressed in brightly colored cloth and clothing.
San Antonio Abad or Antonio Magno (251-356) was a Christian monk, considered the founder of the eremitical movement. He was tempted numerous times by the devil while he was in the desert, becoming a subject frequently represented in art (as can be seen in this oil painting). He is represented in a black habit because the Order of the Knights of the Hospital of San Antonio (Hospitals) was placed under his patronage, being the color of the habits of the members of this order (the tau or Egyptian cross was also the symbol chosen by they).
David Teniers II or El Joven was a prominent Flemish painter and engraver, son of David Teniers El Viejo or I and father of David Teniers III, much appreciated at the time for his scenes of villagers and common people, his paintings of monkey painters, etc. . He dealt with the theme of the Temptations of Saint Anthony...

Early 17th Century Roman School Praying Madonna Painting Oil on Canvas
Located in Milan, IT
Roman school, late 16th-early 17th century Praying Madonna
Oil on canvas, 81 x 69 cm
Frame 83 x 95.5 cm
A divine whiteness reverberates with vibrant luster on the maphorion of the present Virgin. The palpable iridescence that structures the thin rosaceous garment, woven with the same fresh light, produces a slight rustle when she takes her hands off. The Madonna in fact takes a prayerful pose, opening her palms to underline her fervent ecstatic intention; the white neck is rendered with perishable fullness of pigments, like the hands, perfectly alive, and the very shiny eyes. With fine shrewdness the artist of the present styles the Virgin's hair with thin white ribbons, exacerbating the purity. An evocative light falls gently on the bust, a materialized sign of divine glory.
The present can be traced back to the late Mannerist climate that prevailed in the capital after the emanation of the Tridentine council (1545-1563). The late Mannerist licenses that can still be seen there, such as the intense lyricism in the stylistic code adopted by the artist, are innervated in the new basic catechetical intent, which at the end of the century produced a certain figurative rigorism. The present, however, still responds to that extraordinary Roman dynamism that raised the capital to a bulwark for the entire mannerist lesson, matched only by a second artistic center, the Florentine one. The engaging carriage of the Virgin reflects the contemporary examples of Giuseppe Valeriano (1542-1596), a Jesuit painter, returning in the Marriage of the Virgin of the Roman Church of Jesus, as well as in the Madonna of Sorrows in the Recanati Altarpiece, equal ardor. But it is in the Assumption of the Virgin painted in four hands with Scipione Pulzone...

The painting bears a traditional attribution to François Marius Granet (Aix-en-Provence, 1775 - 1849). The painter was a pupil of David but from 1802 to 1819 he lived in Rome, as evidenced by a series of paintings depicting views of the city and especially of the Roman countryside (Ponte San Rocco in Tivoli, 1810-20, MoMA, New York), and then return there between 1825 and 1830.

Mary Queen of Scots period painting 16th.Century
Located in Perth, GB
This painting very much of the period of George Jamieson although with a contintal flavour It is worth considering this artist , He was born in Aberdeen, where his father, Andrew Jamesone, was a stonemason. Jamesone attended the grammar school near his home on Schoolhill and is thought to have gone on to further education at Marischal College.[2] Legend has it that Jamesone once studied under Rubens in Antwerp with Anthony van Dyck.[3] This is, however, yet to be proven as his name does not appear to be noted on the Guild registers of the town.[4] Since Rubens was exempt from registering pupils, the absence of Jamesone's name does not mean that the painter definitely did not study there.
Mary Erskine
Jamesone certainly did complete an apprenticeship under the supervision of his uncle, John Anderson, who was a popular decorative painter in Edinburgh at the beginning of the seventeenth century.[5] Jamesone finished this training in 1618. He is not recorded as being in Aberdeen again until 1620. If the Scotsman had gone to Antwerp, it would have had to have been between the years of 1618 to 1620.
Career
Whilst in Aberdeen, Jamesone made a name for himself painting portraits of local academics and scholars from the city's two feuding colleges: King's and Marischal. In 1633, when Charles I made his grand royal visit to Edinburgh, Jamesone rose from local to national fame. For this occasion the painter was asked to decorate a highly elaborate triumphal arch with the portraits of all the past kings of Scotland.[6] He was also given the honour of painting the portrait of Charles himself. It has been said that the king was so pleased with the result that he gave Jamesone a ring off his own finger as a reward.[7]
After hearing of the King's approval, many of the Scottish gentry desired to be painted by the now highly reputable George Jamesone.[3] One of his finest examples is that of Mary Erskine which is on display at the National Gallery of Scotland. Jamesone had homes and studios in Aberdeen (on Schoolhill opposite St. Nicholas Kirk) and in Edinburgh (on the Royal Mile right next door to John Knox House). Having two bases allowed him to meet the demands of hundreds of patrons from the north to the south of the country.
Jamesone died in Edinburgh in 1644 and was buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard in the centre of the city. The grave is largely illegible but lies on the east wall of the original churchyard.[8]

18th Century Madonna with Child Adored by Two Saints Paintings Oil on Canvas
Located in Milan, IT
Giovanni Giacomo Figari (Desenzano del Garda, 1739-1809)
Madonna and Child adored by San Francesco di Paola and San Gregorio Magno
(About 1765)
(2) Oil on panel, 41 x 22.5 - with frame 46.7 x 27.5 x 3.2 cm
Expertise Prof. Sava
The softly collected and intimate dimension suggested by the present pair of paintings underlines, together with the saints appearing in adoration, the totally private dimension of the order. The saints chosen at the feet of the Madonna and Child are in fact Francesco di Paola and Gregorio Magno, immediately recognizable by the wise features, by the Franciscan habit and by the crosier supported by a putto, the other by the triple crown placed on the ground as a sign of respect. Most likely made as ex votos, as a tribute to the patrons or as preparatory models for two altarpieces, if the saints were to reflect their names, the paintings are offered for specular and meditated composition. An inflamed colorism lights up the veils of the Madonna, enhancing their prominent position with respect to the saint in her presence, and warming the remaining part of the composition with sweet intimacy.
The compositional balance, the quality of the drawing and the plastic consistency of the drapery allow the painter's hand to be brought closer to the sphere of Giambettino Cignaroli (1706-1770), a Venetian painter, working in different cities in northern Italy. He was influenced by Ludovico Dorigny, Antonio Balestra...

17th Century Still Life with Birds Painting Oil on Canvas by Victors
By Jacobus Victors
Located in Milan, IT
Attr. Jacobus or Iacomo Victors (Amsterdam c. 1640 - 1705) Still life with birds
Oil on canvas, 112 x 133 cm
The still life examined here is a rare example of the simultaneous presence of live and dead animals in a single composition. On two rocky levels different ornithological species are neatly arranged, reproduced with the utmost fidelity and adherence to life. Mallards, doves, sparrows and a partridge placed on their backs can be recognized. The soft mantles with different chromatic tones, with the characteristic streaks and spots of color, together with the precise investigation of the various ornithological typologies, denote an observation of the real datum typical of the seventeenth-century Flemish tradition. Another mallard, this time alive, seems to have just settled on the rock, as if to observe the rich composition moving its neck. Its characteristic colors, the bright green of the head and the upper part of the neck, the yellow of the beak and the orange of the legs characterize the painting and capture the viewer's attention. The flight of the dove in the foreground is splendid, seen from above, the virtuosic pose and the brightness of its feathers, in an elegant modulation of grays tending to white, denote the stylistic quality of this work. It was probably created by a Flemish artist working in Italy in the second half of the seventeenth century: close analogies can be found with the game of Jacobus Victor...

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.
