Classical Roman Paintings

CLASSICAL ROMAN STYLE

During Mount Vesuvius’ eruption in 79 A.D., Pompeii and Herculaneum in today’s Italy were preserved as they were on the day of their destruction. Particularly at Herculaneum, furnishings were carbonized beneath volcanic ash. This was pivotal to understanding how Classical Roman furniture was designed. Archaeological investigations and printed reproductions of discoveries would influence styles evoking this ancient civilization, from the Renaissance to neoclassicism.

While knowledge of Classical Roman furniture comes from rare surviving pieces, it is also derived from frescoes and sculptures portraying Roman life. Much of Roman art, architecture and design was informed by Greece — Roman architect, military engineer and writer Marcus Vitruvius Pollio, whose timeless De architectura is taught in contemporary architecture classes and pays tribute to classical architecture, visited Greece while working under Julius Caesar and admired the country’s architectural developments. The Roman solium references the Greek thronos, a stately chair of honor with an upright form and footstool. As the Roman Empire spread across Europe and into North Africa and Western Asia, the expansion of trade for silver, silk, marble and wood allowed for more luxurious designs.

Classical Roman furniture was made from bronze, wood and stone — in particular, marble — with ornate touches like tortoiseshell veneers, bone and glass inlays and claw feet. Ornaments depicting lion heads and mythological figures were sculpted from silver, bronze and ivory. Compared to the decorative attention given to the mosaic floors and wall paintings, however, furniture for even a wealthy house was minimal. It focused on the necessities for guests arriving for both socializing and business and the rooms housing family, relatives and enslaved people.

The triclinium dining room had banquet couches, items so prized they were sometimes interred with the deceased. Tall bronze or terracotta candelabras held oil lamps for lighting. Carved marble tables reflected status, while the lararium home shrine demonstrated faith.

Pair of Mid-Century Oil on Canvas Parisian Scenes Paintings Signed A. Blanchard

By Antoine Blanchard

Located in Dallas, TX

Decorate a living room, library, or office with this exquisite pair of Paris street scenes. Painted in France circa 1960, each artwork is set in a beautifully textured and painted frame, and depicts a lively Parisian view rendered in Blanchard’s signature impressionistic style. One composition, Les Quais et le Louvre, captures a bustling riverside scene with pedestrians, horse-drawn carriages, and kiosks under autumn skies; the other, La Porte Saint-Martin, presents a winter view of the famous monument animated with carriages and city life blanketed in snow. Executed with a thick, textured impasto technique, both paintings reveal the artist’s masterful use of light and movement to convey the vibrancy of everyday Paris. They are in excellent condition and signed in the lower corners by Antoine Blanchard. Authenticity papers from Rehs Galleries accompany the works, each listed in the Antoine Blanchard Virtual Checklist as no. LVQLW1318.0010 and no. PSMBSM1318.0010, along with original receipts from Landsberger Gallery and Lewis Art Gallery. Antoine Blanchard (1910-1988) was the pseudonym of Marcel Masson...
