"Couple with Apples", Swedish Copy of British Masterwork

About the Item

Charming and lovely, this quiet depiction of two young lovers sitting under a tree in 1942, while World War II was being waged not far away, was painted by G. Lundgren in Sweden and is a close copy of "Amity" by Bernard Fleetwood Walker, owned by the Walker Art gallery in Liverpool, England. The original is well known and was painted in 1933. The young blond female figure is shown with a basket of apples at her side, in a pale blue dress and handing a daisy to her male companion. The male figure is shown in an oversized white shirt and a fedora in his hand, and in the background is a pastoral scene with fields, a farmhouse and hills in the distance. Nothing is known about the painter. The medium is oil on canvas. (Dimensions include frame.).

"The Entombment of Christ, " Fine Copy of Titian Masterpiece, Oil on Canvas
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Beautifully painted, probably in the 19th or early 20th centuries, this copy of the famed "Le Transport du Christ au Tombeau" painting by Titian (Tiziano) in the collection of the Louvre in Paris, was recently found in the attic of a Hudson Valley monastery. The Louvre original, considered an early painting by the master, dates to the same period as his famous "Pastoral Concert" and shows the strong influence of Gorgione. This scene depicts the collaborative efforts of Joseph of Arimathea, Saint John and Nicodemus as they moved Christ's body from the cross to his tomb, watched by the two grieving Marys -- his mother and Mary Magdalene. It is not known who painted this copy, though of course artists over the years have copied the great Master paintings...
