Oil Painting of a Landscape

About the Item

Depicting an Italian scene; likely 18th century. The painter is unknown but likely Flemish. The canvas is in good overall good condition, now mounted on a hardboard backing. The composition is striking –an early summer evening or morning scene with travelers moving through a vast valley. An odd, partially dying tree is the central subject, leaning next to a promontory. The human figures are quite small, insignificant, and non-religious. All attention is on the beauty of the valley and mountains and the fine leaves of the tree. The valley in the distance has a blanket of distinctively blue fog, which also suggests a Flemish origin. The painting appears to have been cleaned, repaired, and varnished but not at all recently. The gilt frame, which appears to be original, bears a plaque “Gift of Adele Sarry.”

  • 18th Century French Pastoral and Harbor Scene Oil Painting in Ornate Gilt Frame
    Located in Dallas, TX
    This monumental antique oil on canvas painting was created in France, circa 1790. Set in a carved gilt frame, the large artwork depicts a pastoral scene with the port of Marseilles in the background; it features people playing cards around a table, one lady napping with a dog beside her, another woman with her kid carrying flowers, a man courting a young beauty sitting on a bench, and horses in movement. The inscription on the rider's flag reads "Liberte de L'Escaut 1793," likely referring to the Battle of Raismes (also known as the Battle of Conde or St. Amand) which took place on 8 May 1793, during the Flanders Campaign of the Wars of the French Revolution. It was between the French Republican army and the Allied Coalition army, and resulted in an Allied Victory. A possible signature is not legible in the lower left corner of painting. The important painting is in excellent condition with lots of wonderful and interesting details, and embellished with an elegant frame! Place this huge artwork...

  • Charles Stuart "Their Mountain Home" Oil on Canvas, Signed, 1895-1897
    Located in New York, NY
    Charles Stuart (British 1838-1907) "Their Mountain Home" from 1895-1897 is on oil on canvas and is signed as well as dated. This gorgeous highland landscape depicts a stag herd retreating down the mountain from the impending mists. Stuart captures the swirling movement and material quality of the fog, which obscures the towering mountains adding an element of mystery and magic to the painting. In juxtaposition, the foreground of the painting is rendered in precise detail from the rippling tides to the leaves of grass. Each stag is differentiated adding an element of naturalism. Charles Stuart, F. S. A. was a landscape painter active from 1881 to 1904. Born to a long line of painters, Stuart exhibited at the Royal Society of British Artists and the Royal Academy. He was a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London, and the prestigious Savage Club whose members included Charles Dickens. He was married to Jane Maria Bowkett...
