Neoclassical Paintings

NEOCLASSICAL STYLE

Neoclassical design emerged in Europe in the 1750s, as the Age of Enlightenment reached full flower. Neoclassical furniture took its cues from the styles of ancient Rome and Athens: symmetrical, ordered, dignified forms with such details as tapered and fluted chair and table legs, backrest finials and scrolled arms.

Over a period of some 20 years, first in France and later in Britain, neoclassical design — also known as Louis XVI, or Louis Seize — would supersede the lithe and curvaceous Rococo or Louis XV style.

The first half of the 18th century had seen a rebirth of interest in classical antiquity. The "Grand Tour" of Europe, codified as a part of the proper education of a patrician gentleman, included an extended visit to Rome. Some ventured further, to sketch the ruins of ancient Greece. These drawings and others — particularly those derived from the surprising and rich archaeological discoveries in the 1730s and ’40s at the sites of the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum — caused great excitement among intellectuals and aesthetes alike.

Neoclassical furniture is meant to reflect both grace and power. The overall appearance of neoclassical chairs, tables and cabinetry is strong and rectilinear. These pieces are, in effect, classical architecture in miniature: chair and table legs are shaped like columns; cabinets are constructed with elements that mirror friezes and pediments.

Yet neoclassicism is enlivened by gilt and silver leaf, marquetry, and carved and applied ornamental motifs based on Greek and Roman sculpture: acanthus leaves, garlands, laurel wreaths, sheaves of arrow, medallions and chair splats are carved in the shapes of lyres and urns. Ormolu — or elaborate bronze gilding — was essential to French design in the 18th and 19th centuries as a cornerstone of the neoclassical and Empire styles.

As you can see from the furniture on these pages, there is a bit of whimsy in such stately pieces — a touch of lightness that will always keep neoclassicism fresh.

Located in Swedesboro, NJ

This exceptional maritime oil painting, signed by renowned American artist James Gale Tyler (1855–1931), beautifully captures the majesty of a tall sailing ship navigating through deep ocean waters.

18th Century, Pair of Italian Neoclassical Grisaille Tempera on Paper Paintings

Located in IT

18th Century, Pair of Italian Neoclassical Grisaille Tempera on Paper Paintings This pair of tempera paintings on paper, was made in Piedmont, Italy, in the neoclassical era, towards the end of the eighteenth century. Each painting, with a blue grey background, is decorated with elements reminiscent of the grotesques, characteristic of neoclassicism, grisaille paintings, or with the use of the color of white and gray to simulate sculptures in bas-relief in marble or stucco. At the center of each painting stands a classic vase decorated with garlands and frames with vegetable elements, taken with goat heads with long horns. The vase is adorned with a floral decoration topped by a long vertical element that simulates a stand. Along the axis are woven garlands foliated in the center of which are represented ovoid bas-reliefs. The base of the lift, of classical and circular taste, supports two swans with outstretched wings and ends with a small circular podgy element. In the lower part of the vase is depicted a horizontal element that supports a precious folded fabric, decorated with filigree and trimmings at the edges, behind which protrudes a flowered garland. These two particular paintings are very decorative and elegant and are suitable to be exhibited alongside other works in any environment, also in boiserie. Very beautiful in copy, interspersed with other decorative objects, placed above seats, consoles, drawers, in living rooms, studies, bedrooms, corridors and entrances. Conceptually very modern, and suitable for both antique and contemporary furniture. In good condition, the paintings are presented using wooden panels...

An atmospheric early 20th-century oil on canvas depicting three elegantly dressed women resting in a quiet rural landscape. Signed “Arther D. Jones” at the lower left, the composition has a wonderfully intimate quality, with the figures emerging from deep woodland tones and soft passages of meadow green. The painting is presented in a substantial carved giltwood frame ornamented with scrolling foliate motifs. Its aged gilding and restrained palette give the piece the layered character associated with English country houses and European interiors assembled over generations. It would be especially compelling above a small chest, beside a library bookcase, or incorporated into a salon-style arrangement of antique paintings and prints...

Antique Framed Hudson River School, River Landscape with Figures in a Sailboat

Antique Framed Hudson River School, River Landscape with Figures in a Sailboat

By James McDougal Hart

Located in Morristown, NJ

Oil on canvas board, unsigned. A charming small-scale landscape in the manner of the Hudson River School, depicting a tranquil river scene with figures in a sailboat drifting past a wooded shoreline. A golden light washes the surrounding trees and distant mountain ridges, while a finely painted group of figures in bright dress suggests narrative intimacy amid the grandeur of nature. Housed in an ornate, period-style gilt frame with grapevine and foliate detailing. Dimensions: Sight: 5.75" H x 3.75" W Frame: 11.75" H x 9.75" W Condition: Good overall. Minor surface discoloration and edge abrasions consistent with age. Not examined outside of frame. The frame could benefit from being tightened up. Provenance: A Private Collection: 1175 York Avenue, New York City Reverse bears an original label for Fisher & Adler & Co., 48 Fulton Street, New York – importers, publishers, and dealers in engravings and chromolithographs, active ca. 1870–1900. Label Note – Fisher, Adler & Co., New York: The reverse of the frame bears a printed label for Fisher, Adler & Co., a New York firm active in the late 19th century, located at 48 Fulton Street in lower Manhattan. The company described itself as "Importers & Publishers of Engravings, Chromos, Photographs, Etchings, Autotypes, and Photogravures," and catered to a growing market of middle- and upper-class collectors interested in European and American fine art reproductions and original paintings. While Fisher, Adler & Co. were known primarily as print and picture dealers, their stock often included small original paintings...
