We kindly suggest that you read the entire , as with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to ensure the authenticity of our objects. Painting oil painting on canvas is made with mixed technique brush and spatula; the author used traditional brushes for a first draft giving shape to the whole drawing with an expert, loose wrist play and with sure and decisive brushstrokes; the representation, in this case, is not a pure exercise of virtuosity, in fact, the author communicates us his intimate essence manifesting it through the language of colors, shapes, and composition. The artist finished his work with the technique of spatula painting, named after the protagonist’s instrument, redistributing the colors densely and consistently, making the painting take on a special body and depth. The painting is signed but we are unable to give definite information about the author, however, we confirm its extraordinary aesthetic and engaging vividness; the painting was made in 1989 in the author’s studio in Paris whose intentions were to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution (1789). The painter was inspired by both French Expressionism and Symbolism; Expressionism exalts the emotional value of art; it is the artist’s desire to communicate inner feelings, while with Symbolism, painters tend to go beyond the objective representation of reality to focus instead on the subjective vision, in which inner feelings, emotions, and experiences are evoked above all. Our painting is overflowing with the symbolism of the French Revolution; it is practically an evocative essence of it. This important and overwhelming historical event is powerfully present in the soul of the artist who wanted to overbearingly communicate to us his deepest emotions by transposing them entirely in the painting with strong and vivid colors, he did not want to simply allude or hint but to express, indeed “shout” his own deep interiority. In his intentions, the painting schematically and symbolically represents a standard-bearer of the French Revolution wearing the classic “Phrygian” hat. The author used only the three colors white, red, and blue that characterized the flags of the French Revolution; they were the new banners, which opposed the traditional emblem of the monarchy, the lilies on a white field. Three were the colors because three were the goals of the Revolution: liberty, equality, and fraternity, and they represented the three classes into which French society of the time was divided: the clergy (blue), the nobility (white), and the third state (red). The “Phrygian” cap (Latin for pileus) painted in red in the painting also has a high symbolic value, In Roman times it was worn by the ” freedmen” to show that they were now freed slaves but in the French Revolution it became the very symbol of Liberty; a similar cap was worn by the freed Marseilles convicts in 1792, and was the symbol of the Jacobins during the French Revolution. Due to this fact, in addition to its historical meaning of freedom, it was later adopted as a symbol of the revolution itself, a symbol immortalized on the “Marianne,” the very emblem of France, in Eugène Delacroix’s famous painting “Liberty Leading the People.” Many of the anti-colonial revolutions in North and South America were inspired by the French Revolution. In current times the “Phrygian” appears, as a symbol of freedom, in the state flags of West Virginia and New Jersey, and as the official seal of the United States Army and the United States Senate. Our painting, in addition to its high artistic value, is a work that with its joyful freshness and high decorative effect lends itself to easily decorating any room in the home. The painting is in good condition, and the frame is a show model, you can simply replace it according to your interior design and enhance this particular painting even more.

An original c.1800 watercolour painting, Circle of Thomas Girtin, Figures on a Country Lane.This attractive and intriguing watercolour bears the inscription ‘Girtin’ on the verso, and shares stylistic similarities with the great artist’s work.The art of watercolour was transformed during Thomas Girtin’s brief life (1775–1802). Girtin, along with his friend and rival J.M.W. Turner, abandoned the careful stained drawings of their predecessors, widening the scope of the watercolour medium to communicate mood and atmosphere, and establishing it as a reputable art form.Girtin’s early work resembles the 18th-century topographical sketches of his master Edward Dayes (1763–1804), using a traditional linear style, to which tone and colour were then added. But his mature style developed the distinctive brushwork and rich colouration evident in the present watercolour; innovatively, he conceived his pictures as a single cohesive entity rather than a collection of parts.Girtin completed a number of sketching tours during his short life, journeying into the English countryside, visiting North Wales, the Lake District, Yorkshire and the West Country. But in comparison with other topographical artists, and notably his contemporary Turner, he was not particularly well travelled. Instead, throughout his career, Girtin would often use secondary sources as the basis for his watercolours and also construct compositions in his studio. The composition of the present watercolour bears similarity to some of the more modest rural subjects resulting from Girtin’s short excursions in the vicinity of London, such as a sketch at Turver’s Farm, Wimbish, nr Saffron Walden, Essex (BM no. 1855,0214.13) and Lane at Hampstead (V&A no. 1089-1884).Also unlike Turner, Girtin remained something of an outsider to the art establishment: he did not study at the Academy’s schools, and was rumoured to have radical, or even revolutionary sympathies. As well, he tried to break away from the traditional reliance on patronage, partly by trying to sell his work on the open market.The connection of the present watercolour to Girtin is unclear. It certainly warrants further investigation in light of the collaboration and copying that went on at the Monro School around this time.On wove paper laid down on card.All artworks come with a Certificate of Authenticity and—if it is a collection artwork—its accompanying collection text or artist biography.

An original vintage Italian painting. This Mid Century oil on canvas artwork is in the cubist style, offset with a calm yet playful pastel colour palette. Artist signature in the bottom right corner.

This magnificent 19th-century painting depicts the first act of Christianity’s Stations of the Cross: the Judgment of Jesus Christ by Pontius Pilate. It is an exceptional work of art, thanks to its striking details that plunge the viewer right into the heart of the event. You’ll see Jesus, overwhelmed and condemned to crucifixion, surrounded by Roman legionaries armed with spears. Jesus is bound by ropes, ready to be led to the second stage where he will carry his cross. Moreover, a captivating detail features a young woman washing Pontius Pilate’s hands, giving rise to the proverbial “hand-washing” expression.

This superb 19th-century church painting shines with luminosity and ochre hues. Its imposing size, 156 cm x 115 cm, framed in an original gilded oak frame, is a rarity. This work is ideal for adorning a large home or private chapel, adding a spiritual and artistic dimension to your space.

Dimensions: 156cm x 115cm
