‘The Farmer’s Children’ After Theodore Gerard

About the Item

PRESENTING A HIGHLY DESIRABLE piece of Euro Art, namely ‘The Farmer’s Children’, oil on canvas in giltwood frame, after the famous original painting by Belgian Artist, Theodore Gerard (1829-1895). Very reminiscent of Old Master Works from the Netherlands. Unsigned reproduction and probably late 20th Century. Depicts what appears to be a mother (or older sister) standing in a doorway of a cottage watching her two children feed chickens (hens and cocks). All are in rustic period dress. A simple and serene rustic scene. PURE ROMANTICISM. It is a large and imposing work of art, HIGHLY DECORATIVE and GREAT VALUE for money. Theodore Gerard was a Belgian Painter and was born in 1829 and he died in 1895. He was a painter and an engraver of genre scenes. He was a painter who got most of his inspiration from the Low Countries. In the year 1863, Gerard studied at the Ghent Academy and later moved to Brussels. He travelled a lot all around Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire exhibiting internationally. He was a reputed award winning genre painter from Belgian painter. He received medals in London (1871), Vienna (1873), Philadelphia(1870) and Brussels(1875). He also worked as a professor at the Brussels Academy of Fine Arts. Theodore Gerard paintings and art works have been represented in the Museum voor Schone Kunsten, the Coutrai Museum, Ghent and the Koninlijk Museum vooor Schone Kunsten, Antwerp. I have found his works very creative and he seemed to be one of the most talented genre artists of his time. Provenance: From a Private Collection in Dallas, TX but originally acquired in Europe. Condition: Good condition. Some crackling. In particular a line of cracked paint over the head of the standing girl, as is evident from the photos.

European Flower and Farmer's Market, Charlottenburg School, 1927
Located in Nantucket, MA
Antique Impressionist Flower and Farmer's Market, Charlottenburg School, 1927, an oil on canvas urban landscape painting of town square with flower venders, signed illegibly A___ V____ (looks akin to A__ssy V_erge) and dated 1927 lower left. An autumnal scene with classic "viktualienmarkt" that looks so much like the Munich Altstadt but is almost surely the park alongside the Prussian Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin. This is a very charming and beautiful painting. The Charlottenburg area was the seat of the Berlin Secessionist school of German progressive artists that espoused modern art, especially impressionism and expressionism. Max Liebermann in particular, a painter and printmaker, was one of the leading proponents of Impressionism in Germany and continental Europe, and a leading light of the Berlin Secessionism. The Charlottenburg art community became a sort of German "Left Bank" and was at the avant garde of of the visual arts and literature, including the likes of Alfred Döblin, Otto Dix, Gottfried Benn, Else Lasker-Schüler, Bertolt Brecht...
