Sven Berlin, born in Sydenham, London on 14th September 1911, was an English painter, draughtman and writer. He was a key player in the development of the St. Ives art movement.

Wildlife drawing of jay bird of light blue by enlightened british painter

Located in Milan, IT
Peter Paillou (c.1720 – c.1790) was a British artist best known for his paintings of birds, many of which were used as book illustrations. He gained repute in the 18th century as a natural history painter and illustrator. He was employed by two leading naturalists and antiquarians of the time, Taylor White (1701-1772) and Thomas Pennant (1726-1798). He illustrated the latter's British Zoology and decorated the hall at Downing, Pennant's house in Flintshire, with several pictures of birds...

Edouard Dufeu (1836-1900)
A Fantastic scene by a lake
Charcoal on paper
Signed lower right
23 x 30,5 cm
Framed under glass : 42.5 x 51 cm
This fantastic scene, the subject of which remains a mystery, reveals an aspect of Edouard Dufeu's personality in which he is more influenced by Romanticism. We can recognise his nervous, painterly style, which lends itself particularly well to this fantastic scene.
Edouard Jacques Dufeu was born in Marseilles on 27 march 1836, and he died in Grasse on December 1 , 1900. He was a French painter and engraver .
Coming from a family originally from Egypt, Dufeu moved to Paris in 1860 and frequented the studio of Charles Gleyre...

Hunting Scene
By Jan Van der Straet
Located in Paris, Île-de-France
Attributed to Jan VAN DER STRAET, called Stradanus (Bruges, 1523 – Florence, 1605)
Hunting Scene
Pen and brown ink, brown wash and white heightening on prepared brown paper,
26 × 31 cm
Unsigned
Provenance
Private collection, France
This striking and highly accomplished drawing depicts a wild boar hunt in a wooded landscape, animated by numerous figures and animals. The dramatic energy of the foreground, where hounds and hunters engage the beast, is heightened by the bold use of white heightening, which models the forms and enlivens the surface. The background, structured by tall trees and populated with additional hunting scenes, lends the composition a theatrical depth.
Attributed to Jan van der Straet, known as Stradanus, this work belongs to the artistic context of Medicean Florence, where the artist developed an important body of hunting scenes intended for illustration and engraving. Influenced by Italian Renaissance models as well as his native Flemish culture, Stradanus excelled in dynamic storytelling and elegant draftsmanship.
The drawing may have been a preparatory study for one of the compositions from the celebrated Venationes Ferarum, Avium, Piscium series, engraved in Antwerp under the supervision of Philips Galle...
