About the Item

A Flemish late 17th, early 18th century oil on canvas architectural painting attributed to Jacobus Ferdinandus Saey (1658–1725) set inside a carved giltwood frame from the 1700s. Painted by Flanders-born artist Jacobus Ferdinandus Saey (also known as Jacob Ferdinand Saeys), this horizontal format painting features an architectural scene born out of the imagination of its creator. Our eye is immediately drawn to the right portion of the composition that is basking in a soft golden light. The blue sky with its fluffy clouds, seen through the arches, allows the architecture to stand out beautifully. A few characters, engaged in their daily tasks, are present. A man dressed in a red overcoat and accompanied with an athletic dog is drawing us in. He is standing on the edge of a checkered floor, typical of Saey. Our eye then wanders around, meeting merchants, bystanders or aristocrats. Two worlds are being contrasted: the working class and the leisurely pleasures of the higher levels of society, in a nutshell, a depiction of the world of the time. The gondola, along with the ‘Serlienne’, signature of Palladio’s architectures, evokes Venice, keeping in mind that Saey specialized in imaginary architectures. Set within a giltwood frame, this painting has a partial signature. With its exquisite facture, and lovely color palette, this Flemish painting circa 1700 depicting an Italian architectural scene, will enliven any space beautifully. Without its frame, the painting measures 18.75" x 23.75".

Large 18th Century French Oil on Canvas Painting Depicting a Hunt Scene
Located in Dallas, TX
This large (110 inches high) oil on canvas painting depicts a successful hunter, with his felled game displayed near his retriever dogs. Our hunter is leaning against a stone pedestal, clad in blue coat and pants with his rifle beneath his right hand. The man is wearing a gold cap with red fabric attached to it and has a sword on his left hip. Three retriever dogs stand to the hunter’s left, while a fourth sits in front of him (the man appears to be motioning to this dog with his left hand). An orange terra cotta vase adorned with spiral fluting sits on top of a molded plinth at the top of the pedestal. Ivy has begun to wrap around the vase, which also is festooned with green drapery. On a ledge at the base of the pedestal is the felled game: a rabbit and three birds. The hunting display is surrounded by numerous trees and shrubbery. Mountains and a lake can be seen in the background, beneath a blue sky with pink and orange clouds and birds flying. Based on the size and vertical orientation, the scene was most likely part of a French boiserie room...
