MORSTON CONSTANTINE REAM United States, 1840-1898 Still Life of Six Peaches in a Porcelain and Glass Bowl with a Knife Oil on canvas unsigned circa 1880 Item # 403EDF06S An exquisite still-life rich with texture, color and brilliant use of light. This tranquil scene features six peaches in a beautifully decorated ceramic bowl with a translucent glass rim resting on a table covered in two layers of cloths. The first has a a pearl color with a greek-key border, overall having a silky sheen and a chaotic fringe edge; the second is a green fabric with geometric patterns. Along the side of the bowl is situated a pearl handled bread knife, something of a hallmark for Morston Ream, as he used several styles of pearl-handled knives in almost this exact orientation for several of his paintings. For a nearly identical knife and placement, see Christie's, New York, 3 March 2011, lot 76 ("Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture"), 10" x 11 3/4", achieved $ 8750. Another example with identical angling of the knife sold at Doyle, New York, 2 November 2021, lot 71 [achieved $ 4250]. A solitary bead drips from the center peach as a fly stands perched at the top. The work is unsigned, but is without any question the work of Ream. It likely dates between 1880 and 1888, as the original frame had a label on it from Thomas A. Wilmurt, a well-established framing and looking glass company in New York City that moved to its 54 East 13th Street premises noted on the label around 1880. Images of that label and the original frame from when this painting was offered at Tremont Auctions of Sudbury, Massachusetts (lot 209, 25 April 2021) will be included with the information packet our gallery provides. ARTIST Born in Lancaster, Ohio in 1840, Morston Constantine Ream was the younger brother of Carducius Plantagenet Ream (American, 1837-1917), an artist who became at least as famous as Morston for his brilliant fruit pictures. Morston began painting in the late 1860s, leaving his career as a daguerreotypist for fear it was damaging to his health. He exhibited extensively, his first exhibit recorded at the National Academy in 1872 while he was living at 56 Bank Street in the west part of Greenich Village in New York City. He listed his address at Union Square in Philadelphia from 1876 through 1882 when he listed his address as 862 Broadway. He began sending paintings to the exhibitions at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1888, then listing his address as 1244 Broadway in New York City, but by 1896 he had moved to Chicago to live at 558 50th Street. He actively sent paintings to the major exhibitions, regularly exhibiting at the National Academy from 1872 through 1883, sending paintings to the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1876 and 1881, as well as exhibiting at Moore’s Art Rooms and the Brooklyn Art Association. He died in 1898 at 58 years of age in New York City. Similar market examples: Still Life with...

Rare Early 19th century Capriccio view of Rio de Janeiro Painting Probably painted circa 1810 by one of Jean-Baptiste Debret, Italian Students. Painted on Sailcloth. Historical Context of Early 19th Century Portuguese Colonial Brazil 1.1 Transition from Colony to Empire During the early 19th century, Brazil underwent a seismic shift in its political status. Originally a colony under the Portuguese Empire, the arrival of the Portuguese Royal Court in Rio de Janeiro in 1808 rapidly elevated the city’s cultural and political importance. By 1815, Brazil was declared a kingdom united with Portugal, setting the stage for the emergence of the Empire of Brazil in 1822. This period of transformation—often termed the transitional period from colony to empire—fueled a wave of artistic production in cities like Rio de Janeiro. 1.2 European Artistic Influence in Brazil With the French Artistic Mission in Rio (initiated in 1816) and the presence of various Portuguese and European artists, Brazilian art of the early 1800s began to reflect diverse influences, from neoclassical painting to the early rumblings of romanticism. Painters such as Jean-Baptiste Debret, and Nicolas-Antoine Taunay, and local luminaries like Manuel de Araújo Porto-Alegre contributed to the fine arts tradition in Brazil. Their works featured scenes of local life, portraits of Brazilian society, and imaginative vistas—sometimes referred to as “capriccios,” in which real elements were combined with artistic liberties to create an idealized panorama. 1.3 Rio de Janeiro as Cultural and Political Hub Rio de Janeiro, often called the Imperial capital after Brazil’s independence, was home to foundational institutions like the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts (Academia Imperial de Belas Artes). Later evolving into the Escola de Belas Artes (School of Fine Arts in Rio), these academies nurtured the talents of emerging painters, who found patronage under the Royal Court and, subsequently, the Imperial Court. The city’s significance was further enhanced by the construction of significant buildings, the modernization of infrastructure, and the mingling of European courtly customs with the traditions of local inhabitants. . Description of the Octagonal Oil on Canvas: A Capriccio View of Rio de Janeiro 2.1 Composition and Layout The most striking characteristic of this 19th-century Brazilian art piece is its octagonal shape, a relatively unusual format that draws the viewer’s gaze toward its centre. The composition showcases Rio de Janeiro’s shoreline in the early 1800s, brimming with merchant ships and smaller boats anchored near the shore. On the sand, there is a bustling crowd of local people—men and women carrying food and goods on their heads, loading and unloading boats, and engaging in everyday commerce. The backdrop of soaring mountains suggests Rio’s iconic topography, embodying the landscape that famously defines the city. 2.2 Architectural and Religious Landmarks On the left side, one can discern the silhouette of a church believed to be Santa Lucia, a significant religious structure in the heart of early 19th-century Rio. This element provides viewers with a tangible reference point, linking the scene to an actual location. However, because this painting is labelled as a “capriccio,” the artist might have taken creative liberties by rearranging or amplifying certain features of the city. The melding of real and idealized elements is characteristic of these imaginative vistas. 2.3 Evoking Daily Life in Colonial Rio One of the painting’s greatest appeals lies in its portrayal of daily life during the colonial era. Men and women from various backgrounds populate the scene. Some appear to be carrying goods on their heads, a common practice in Brazil that has persisted through different centuries. Others appear to be haggling or trading near small vessels, revealing the commercial pulse of an active port city. This focus on local people, combined with the grandeur of merchant ships, captures the tension and synergy between the every day and the extraordinary—a hallmark of Brazilian colonial painting that balances the grand narratives of empire with the rhythms of ordinary life. 2.4 An Amalgamation of Neoclassical and Romantic Influences Although academic art in early 19th century Brazil was highly influenced by neoclassicism, the onset of romanticism can be spotted in the emotional portrayal of the sky, the lively palette, and the dramatic emphasis on nature’s beauty (the mountains, in particular). This duality reflects the fine arts tradition in Brazil during the transitional phase when artists were embracing multiple styles. As part of the School of Rio or the Rio de Janeiro school, painters often integrated academic techniques learned from European masters with emerging local subjects and influences. 3. Institutions and Artistic Movements 3.1 Imperial Academy of Fine Arts Originally known as the Royal School of Sciences, Arts, and Crafts, the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in Rio de Janeiro was instrumental in shaping 19th-century Brazilian art. Influential artists and teachers from Portugal, France, and other European nations congregated at the Academy, imparting their expertise to native students. As the monarchy consolidated power, the Academy enjoyed royal patronage, leading to the creation of Imperial Academy-style works that combined European academic rigour with Brazilian-themed subject matter. 3.2 Impact of the French Artistic Mission The French Artistic Mission, which arrived in 1816, played a pivotal role in introducing advanced European artistic techniques, thereby elevating the overall quality of painting in Brazil. Artists like Jean-Baptiste Debret not only documented Brazilian society but also spearheaded the development of a local visual identity that aligned with both academicism and the national context of a blossoming empire. Debret, alongside others such as Nicolas-Antoine Taunay, mentored Brazilian artists, sowing the seeds of what would become the Brazilian academic art movement. 3.3 Religious, Historical, and Landscape Paintings In addition to everyday scenes and historical compositions, religious iconography remained crucial throughout Portuguese colonial and imperial Brazil. Churches were omnipresent in cityscapes like Rio de Janeiro. Many colonial-era Brazilian portraits...
