About the Item

A magnificent Welsh 18th century oil on canvas painting by Richard Wilson. The painting is framed within a striking and richly carved giltwood border with fine foliate designs and intricately carved palmettes in a satin and burnished finish. The wonderfully executed oil on canvas painting depicts a charming landscape of the Italian country side with a village at the top of a hill and a magnificent waterfall. At the forefront are figures sitting by the river with tall ruins at the left. The lovely hills extend into the background where they are met by the beautiful blue sky. The plaque below reads "1714 - Richard Wilson - 1782. Classic Italy", with the dates indicating the date of birth and death of the artist. Richard Wilson (1 August 1714 - 15 May 1782) Was an influential Welsh landscape painter. With George Lambert he is recognized as a pioneer in British art of landscape for its own sake and was described in the Welsh Academy Encyclopedia of Wales as the "most distinguished painter Wales has ever produced and the first to appreciate the aesthetic possibilities of his country". In December 1768 Wilson became one of the founder-members of the Royal Academy.

Large 18th Century Dutch Oil on Canvas Painting of a Southern Landscape, 56x67
Located in Dallas, TX
Measuring 56 H x 67 W, this large Dutch oil on canvas painting from the 1700s depicts a Southern landscape of a glen beneath a rocky cliff. The expansive valley stretches far into the distance, before terminating at a lake in front of a mountain. Numerous flocks of sheep can be seen throughout the basin, including a group high up on the towering cliff with green trees dotting the sand-colored rock. Most of the flocks in the distance are being tended to by shepherds, but interestingly, a group of four men has gathered in the foreground to engage in leisurely activities as their sheep, cows, goat, and dog await nearby. A few chateaus can be seen in the distance, but most of the architecture is in the style of a capriccio, in that they are dilapidated. The top of a stone obelisk is missing and there are some losses to the inscribed pedestal next to it that supports a lidded urn. Large pieces of broken rock are scattered about, with one slab being used as a seat/table for two shepherds playing cards. Several birds fly in the blue sky, with the setting sun giving the clouds hues of gray, orange, and pink. The peaceful scene is surrounded by a brown wood frame with a thin undulating gilt border that edges the canvas. Our large Dutch painting...
