"Narcissus, " Superb Male Nude, Neoclassical Painting, by Student of Eckersberg

About the Item

Because Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, a celebrated 19th century Danish painter, used his "Narcissus" painting as a teaching tool, at least five of his pupils painted sight variations of the original between 1820 and 30. An authority on Eckersberg's work states that this painting is one. Like the original, this painting uses a rich palette of dark reds and rosy flesh tones, and depicts a reclining nude Narcissus -- stretching near a quiet pool of water. Narcissus -- whose perfect form was inspired by the Greek and Roman eras which glorified the nude -- is resting on a deep, rusty-red robe, and every detail is beautifully captured. (Dimensions include frame.)

  • "Summoned Reverie, " Superb Surrealist Painting with Nudes by Ames, 1939
    By Arthur Ames
    Located in Philadelphia, PA
    Painted in soft, dreamlike colors and depicting a magical landscape of attenuated nude figures dominated by a painter and his muse, this extremely fine Surrealist work was painted by Arthur Ames in 1939. Here he used egg tempera on gesso-finished board -- a favorite medium among painters such as Paul Cadmus, Jared French and others in the 1930s, 40s and 50s -- to create a highly detailed view of an imagined landscape. Behind the central couple and the painting on its easel, there is a retreating woman in a flowing, Classical robe, and in the far distance a couple embracing on a mountain top. Ames was born in the Midwest but studied on the West Coast and became a California artist through and through; he participated in the Federal Art Project, and worked with his fiancée, Jean Goodwin...
