Large and Striking Antique French Oval Nature Morte Floral Oil Painting, C. 1850
Located in Dallas, TX
A master-level painting surrounded by a thick and detailed gold leaf frame, this large oval oil on canvas has an impressive scale for a nature morte (still-life) painting. The painting, which dates to circa 1850, is by an unknown, yet extremely talented French artist. In stark contrast to the dark gray background, the subject of the painting is a brightly colored floral bouquet. The vibrant flowers (blue, red, yellow, pink, and white) reside in a brown woven basket that sits atop a stone baluster railing. A cluster of darkly colored grapes is strewn across the top of the railing, next to the basket, as two butterflies flutter above the bouquet. If you look closely, you will even see a third butterfly perched on one of the large green leaves that accompany the irises, carnations, and sunflowers. The equally impressive original frame is adorned with rings of beading, foliate rinceaux, and spiral fluting, with a deep convex molding carved with additional fluting.
In 19th-century France, an entire school devoted to floral still-life paintings emerged, located in Lyon, which was the capital of floral design. Although originally still-life art was classified as unimportant, acceptance by art historians of the 20th century elevated the public opinion of nature mortes. A painting such as our large and striking oval floral...

Towering Mammoth Tree in California: "Beauty of the Forest" Lithograph of 1856
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: Towering Mammoth Tree: "Beauty of the Forest" Lithograph
Description: This stunning lithograph, titled "Mammoth Tree: Beauty of the Forest," captures the majesty of one of California's iconic giant sequoias, a true testament to nature's grandeur. This one is likely located in Oakland, near San Francisco in Cafifornia. The composition emphasizes the sheer scale of the tree, rising high above the surrounding forest canopy, with minute human figures at its base to provide a sense of proportion. The scene evokes both awe and tranquility, offering a glimpse into the pristine wilderness that once dominated the American landscape.
Created through the detailed process of lithography, this piece was produced by T. Sinclair's renowned lithographic studio in Philadelphia. The precision and delicate shading of the print reflect the artist's dedication to realism, while the warm, earthy tones enhance its timeless appeal. Lithography, celebrated for its ability to capture intricate details, was a revolutionary art form in the 19th century, making this print both a historical and artistic treasure.
The Mammoth Trees, California's iconic giant sequoias, are nowadays primarily found in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. The most famous groves include:
Giant Forest, located in Sequoia National Park, home to the General Sherman Tree, the largest tree in the world by volume.
Mariposa Grove, located in Yosemite National Park, home to the Grizzly Giant and other famous sequoias.
Calaveras Big Trees State Park, located in northern California, one of the first groves to be widely publicized.

A Glimpse into the Early 19th Century Urban Landscape of New York, a 1842 Print
Located in Langweer, NL
The hand-colored print titled "New York," published in 1842, presents a detailed and picturesque view of the cityscape of New York as it appeared in the early 19th century. The title "New York" is centered below the image. Below the title, the text reads "LONDON: Published by Thomas Kelly. 17, Paternoster Row," indicating the publisher and location of publication in London. Additionally, the text "S. Davenport. Sculp." is printed beneath the image, signifying that the engraving was done by S. Davenport.
Description of the Image:
- **Perspective**: The image provides a broad view, likely from an elevated point, showing the expanse of the city. The perspective gives a sense of depth, with the street extending into the distance.
- **Central Street**: A wide, unpaved street runs down the center of the image, flanked by rows of buildings on both sides. This street is bustling with various activities.
- **Buildings**: The buildings are primarily two to three stories tall, featuring a mix of architectural styles typical of the period. Some have distinct red roofs, adding a touch of color to the scene.
- **Churches**: There are several prominent churches with tall spires visible in the background, indicating the importance of religious institutions during that time.
- **Foreground**: In the foreground, to the right, there is a large, columned building, which might be a significant public or religious structure.
- **Activity**: The street scene includes horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians, capturing the everyday life of the city's inhabitants.
- **Harbor**: In the far background, you can see masts of ships, indicating the proximity of the harbor and the importance of maritime activities to the city.
Artistic and Historical Context:
- **Engraving Style**: The work of S. Davenport, an engraver, suggests fine detail and precision typical of hand-colored prints of that era.
- **Historical Significance**: This print serves as a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the urban layout and architecture of New York City in the early 1840s.
- **Publishing Context**: Being published in London by Thomas Kelly indicates a transatlantic interest in the growing metropolis of New York, reflecting its emerging significance on the global stage.
This print is not only an artistic representation but also a historical record, encapsulating the essence of New York City during a period of significant growth and development.
Identifying specific buildings from a historical print like this one can be challenging, especially without modern landmarks for direct comparison. However, a few notable buildings and features from New York in the early 1840s could potentially be recognized based on historical context and architectural details.
Potential Recognizable Buildings:
1. **St. Paul's Chapel**: Given its prominent spire and proximity to the center of early New York...
