Like many of his contemporaries, Stalbemt followed the example of this great role model. At the age of 29 he converted to the Catholic faith. It goes without saying that a painter in Antwerp had to be familiar with the themes of the Christian religion, since it was necessary to fulfill the wishes of his customers. The design of the spatial composition, reminiscent of the early David Vinckboons, which features juxtaposed landscape sections - on the left the dark foreground, on the right the background illuminated by the sun - indicates that this is an early painting, painted during the period from 1605 to 1610. In this painting, Stalbemt reveals himself to be a great artist who was able to skillfully combine different landscape formations such as forest, river and mountains at an early stage of his career. In interlacing all of these landscape parts into one perspective, this composition is very typical of Adriaen van Stalbemt's work.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLiterature: Ertz\/Nitze-Ertz, Adriaen van Stalbemt, Kritischer Katalog der Gemälde, Zeichnungen und Druckgraphik Lingen 2018.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eoil on copper\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003epicture size 8.07 x 9.96 inches (20.5 x 25.3 cm)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eframe 14.17 x 15.94 inches (36 x 40.5 cm)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003enote: Important changes in the composition have been found with an IR camera, please contact us if you want to see the result from those images.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProvenance: Private collection Bavaria (Germany)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Classicartworks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40135240220837,"sku":"","price":33000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0115\/6005\/8976\/files\/adriaen-van-stalbemt-abraham-and-the-sacrifice-of-his-son-isaac-370735.jpg?v=1715340961"},{"product_id":"david-teniers-the-sense-of-touch","title":"David Teniers - The Sense of Touch","description":"David Teniers the Younger (1610-1690) Follower of\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA Peasant Removing a Plaster: The Sense of Touch\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003esigned T on the table\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eoil on panel\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003epanel size 7,20 x 5,55 inches (18,3 x 14,4 cm)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eframe 11,22 x 9,84 inches (28,5 x 25 cm)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eoak frame professionally handmade 2021 \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProvenance:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOld Christie's stamp on the back;\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePrivate collection Poland;\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDesa Auction Poland, 6 October 2020, Lot 55.","brand":"Classicartworks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40147691110565,"sku":"","price":6450.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0115\/6005\/8976\/files\/david-teniers-the-sense-of-touch-248413.jpg?v=1715341257"},{"product_id":"johan-peter-von-wildenradt-sea-view-from-menton-cote-dazur-france","title":"Johan Peter von Wildenradt - Sea View from Menton, Côte d'Azur, France","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohan Peter von Wildenradt (1861-1904) \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSea View from Menton, Côte d'Azur, France\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003esigned JP.v.

He was then accepted to the École supérieure des beaux-arts de Tours from 1932 to 1934, where he was a pupil of Maurice Mathurin.

In 1947 and 1948, he participated in a group exhibition at the Marquié Gallery in New York under the title: School of Paris - Paintings with Eugène Boudin , Jean-Baptiste Corot , Braque , Andre Lhote , Élisée Maclet , Camille Pissarro and Henri Rousseau.

In this painting of a seemingly simple peasant scene lies keys to understanding both the imaginative mind of Teniers as well as why this time period produced some of the most iconic works in all of art history. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs indicated by the name, Teniers was more or less born into his profession. As the son of David Teniers the elder, himself a painter who studied under Rubens, the younger David received training in art from a very young age and had no less than three brothers who also became painters. Because of his father’s frequent financial failures that even at times saw him imprisoned, David the younger helped to rescue the family from ruin through painting copies of old masters. Essentially, the young Teniers was confronted with painting as both a passion and creative expression as well as a necessity during difficult times, an experience that would shape much of his capacity and sensitivity in his coming life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0115\/6005\/8976\/files\/teniersportratt_480x480.jpg?v=1637072363\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0115\/6005\/8976\/files\/teniersportratt_480x480.jpg?v=1637072363\" data-mce-style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eTeniers portayed by his colleague Philip Fruytiers in 1655, at the height of his career and dressed in typical Baroque fashion. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the hardships, the talent and determination of Teniers was recognized and quickly expanded his possibilities. He had already spent time in France and possibly also England when he was hired by his father’s former teacher Rubens to help with a prestigious commission with mythological paintings, now considered lost, for Philip IV the king Spain. In 1644–54 Teniers was appointed dean of the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke, manifesting his esteemed position within the artistic community. A few years afterwards he took an important step when relocating to Brussels, where Teniers yet again found new career opportunities that would prove to be very successful. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the keeper of the collections of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm, a role similar to what we now refer to as an art advisor, Teniers purchased hundreds of important artworks that manifested the prominent status of the Archduke’s collection while at the same time providing an unusual access to inspiration and knowledge for Teniers himself. Since he kept on painting during the same time, his creative scope must have seemed almost bewildering in the great variety of images and stories that he surrounded himself with. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0115\/6005\/8976\/files\/duke_480x480.png?v=1637072459\" alt=\"\" data-mce-style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0115\/6005\/8976\/files\/duke_480x480.png?v=1637072459\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eArchduke Leopold Wilhelm in his Gallery in Brussels, painted by Teniers around 1650.

It is difficult to single out one aspect or genre to summarize his legacy, since it lies much more in the broad virtuosity across many motifs, although he is particularly remembered for farm scenes and meticulously depicted interiors where other paintings and artworks are captured with an astonishing precision. However, the fact that he is still today one of the most known and celebrated names of the Dutch Golden Age is a proof to the magic of his work, which continues to spark dialogue and wonder in the contemporary viewer of his works. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0115\/6005\/8976\/files\/L1009730-3_480x480.jpg?v=1637072553\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0115\/6005\/8976\/files\/L1009730-3_480x480.jpg?v=1637072553\" data-mce-style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eDetail with church in the background.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/classicartworks.com\/pages\/david-teniers-the-younger-peasants-in-a-cornfield-boer-in-het-veld\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"David Teniers Peasants in a Cornfield\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eContinue reading here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg id=\"hola-icon-globe\" src=\"safari-extension:\/\/4CB16BD5-F67D-4118-AA44-49DA61B3EC33\/4713fa21\/holaIconWhite.svg\" style=\"top: 344px; left: -39px;\"\u003e","brand":"Classicartworks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41115980988581,"sku":"","price":24000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0115\/6005\/8976\/files\/david-teniers-the-younger-peasants-in-a-cornfield-945305.jpg?v=1715341191"},{"product_id":"eugen-kask-ant-battle-by","title":"Eugen Kask - Ant Battle","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEugen Kask (1918-1998) Swedish\/ Estonian\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnt Battle\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eoil on panel \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003esigned EKask 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003efrom 1978\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003epanel size 8.07 x 12.32 inches (20,5 x 31.3 cm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eframe 12.59 x 16.92 inches (32 x 43 cm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA Swedish Private Collection\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEssay:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe painting in question captures the dynamic energy of a moment seemingly frozen in time—an oil sketch by Eugen Kask featuring two ants engaged in an intense wrestling match. Kask’s approach to this piece is fluid and spontaneous, with broad, swift strokes that lend an air of immediacy to the scene. Much of the canvas remains untouched, its raw state highlighting the areas where Kask chose to concentrate his efforts, thus drawing the viewer's gaze directly to the central action of the ants. This decision to leave the background undefined gives the work a sense of incompleteness, a characteristic that is often celebrated in studies and sketches for its authenticity and connection to the artist's initial spark of inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEugen Kask, born on January 18, 1918, in Kiev and passed away on May 11, 1998, in Vimmerby, was an Estonian-Swedish painter of diverse talents. A descendant of an architectural lineage, with his father Kristjan Kask and his own background in architecture and fine arts, Kask brought a structural eye to his compositions. His life, marked by the upheaval of wartime displacement, led him to Sweden where his contributions to art continued to flourish through exhibitions and group showcases. His work spans a variety of subjects from pastoral landscapes to intimate animal studies, each rendered in his chosen mediums of charcoal, oil, or pastel. Beyond the canvas, Kask's creative impulse extended to the intricate craft of goldsmithing, a testament to his versatile artistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular oil sketch not only represents Kask's skill but also embodies the ethos of his artistry—the balance between the refined and the raw, the complete and the incomplete, the permanent and the transient.

He honed his artistic prowess under the tutelage of the renowned sculptor Jakob Probst, with whom he fostered a lifelong camaraderie. Suter's quest for artistic mastery propelled him to the cultural epicenter of Paris in 1923, where he studied under eminent sculptors such as Henri Bouchard and later, Paul Landowsky. His educational journey was enriched by attendance at the acclaimed Académie Julian and the Académie de la Grande Chaumière, further refining his sculptural technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pivotal apprenticeship with Aristide Maillol in Marly-le-Roi spanned two years, post which Suter established his own studio.

The subsequent years saw him settle in Aarau, where he embraced family life from 1946 onwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the annals of 20th-century Swiss art, Ernst Suter is lauded as a paramount figure among the traditionalist sculptors, sharing the limelight with Eduard Spörri. His contributions to the public spaces of Aargau, particularly Aarau, are significant, and his collaborations with Basel architect Rudolf Christ left a tangible legacy. Suter's influence extended to his mentorship of aspiring artists, notably Hans Geissberger and Hugo Weber, who carried the torch of his sculptural vision. This painting, therefore, represents not just Suter's foray into the realm of canvas and color, but also a piece of Swiss art history, woven from the threads of his multifaceted career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Classicartworks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41666627502245,"sku":"","price":1900.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0115\/6005\/8976\/files\/ernst-suter-a-lake-view-1930-320437.jpg?v=1715341157"},{"product_id":"nils-forsberg-oil-sketch-for-gustavus-ii-adolphus-before-the-battle-of-lutzen","title":"Nils Forsberg - Oil Sketch for \"Gustavus II Adolphus before the Battle of Lützen\"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNils Forsberg (1842-1934) Swedish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOil Sketch for the Painting \u003cem\u003e\"Gustavus II Adolphus before the Battle of Lützen\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eoil on canvas\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003epainted c. 1895-1899\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003estamp signed on the front and authenticated a tergo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecanvas dimensions 18.30 x 24.21 inches (46.5 x 61.5 cm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eframe 22.44 x 28.34 inches (57 x 72 cm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEssay\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cbr\u003eThis piece is a oil sketch for the renowned masterpiece 'Gustavus II Adolphus before the Battle of Lützen', currently housed in the Göteborgs Konstmuseum. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe allure of an unfinished oil sketch lies in its ability to offer a rare glimpse into the artist's creative process, revealing the initial conception of the motif.

This excursion, initially planned for just a few weeks, unexpectedly extended to a 35-year sojourn from 1867 to 1902. During this period, Forsberg honed his craft under the tutelage of the esteemed painter Léon Bonnat. It was at Bonnat's school where he crossed paths with the prominent Swedish artist Gustaf Cederström.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForsberg's talent culminated in his largest work, 'Gustaf Adolf before the Battle of Lützen', which he showcased at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1900.

He was inspired by the impressionists, who painted their immediate impressions, that which the eye fastens on in the open air. Dick Beer often depicted nature; studies of trees, shrubbery, vistas or natural phenomena. Other motifs include streets lined with houses. The human figures are often relegated to the background. The vistas are predominantly represented in a range of clear colours in which the motif is accentuated by sharp contours. Here, Dick Beer has also garnered ideas from artists who challenged traditional impressionism, such as Paul Cézanne who, with his geometric landscapes, was a precursor of the cubists.

After the early death of both parents, he came to Sweden as an orphan in 1907. He began his artistic training at Althin’s painting school in Stockholm in 1908 and continued at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts from 1910 until 1912, where his teachers included Gustaf Cederström, Oscar Björck and Alfred Bergström. In September 1912 he left Sweden for Paris, rented a studio near Montparnasse, and followed instruction at the Académies Colarossi and Grande Chaumière.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1880\" data-end=\"2489\"\u003eThe years that followed were decisive for his development. In 1913 he worked in Pont Aven and held his first solo exhibition in Stockholm under the French title \u003cem data-start=\"2041\" data-end=\"2097\"\u003eExposition des tableaux de Bretagne et autour de Paris\u003c\/em\u003e. In 1914 he undertook an extended study journey through Italy, Tunisia, Morocco and Spain, returning thereafter to Paris. The outbreak of war marked a profound rupture. Beer volunteered for the French Foreign Legion and in 1915 suffered severe head injuries in a grenade explosion, resulting in permanent hearing loss and nervous complications that would affect him for the rest of his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2491\" data-end=\"3127\"\u003eAfter the war his art underwent a marked transformation. Around 1918 and 1919 Beer began to experiment with cubist painting, creating a number of ambitious large scale compositions. Unlike a purely analytic cubism, his was personal, emotional and highly charged with movement. He absorbed the formal language of faceting and structural fragmentation, yet retained a strong attachment to the human figure and to psychological presence. During the years that followed in Paris, he was instructed by André Lhote, whose studio offered an environment in which modern form could be explored freely while still subject to disciplined critique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3129\" data-end=\"3757\"\u003eThe present portrait of Gabriele Varese belongs to this crucial moment in Beer’s career. Varese was part of Beer’s Paris circle, which also included Manuel Ortiz de Zárate and the sculptor Frédéric de Fréminville. Several of these friends were portrayed by Beer, and the present work is among the most compelling examples of his portraiture from the immediate postwar years. The sitter is shown in Italian uniform, his figure constructed through angular, interlocking planes that break the body into sharply defined facets. The treatment of the jacket is especially striking, turning cloth into structure and volume into rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3759\" data-end=\"4265\"\u003eYet the painting is far more than a formal exercise. For all its cubist compression, the portrait retains a vivid human immediacy. Varese’s face, turned toward the viewer, carries a direct and searching expression. The hands, tense and active, reinforce the sense of alert presence. Beer’s achievement lies precisely in this balance between formal invention and psychological intensity. He does not dissolve the sitter into abstraction, but rather redefines portraiture through a modern pictorial language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4267\" data-end=\"4925\"\u003eThis portrait should be understood within the broader context of Beer’s international modernism. Active largely in France, and moving between impressionism, pointillism, cubism and later more expressionist and naturalistic modes, he remained difficult to classify within a single national narrative. That complexity may partly explain why he was long overshadowed. Today, however, works such as the present portrait make clear that Beer occupies a distinctive place within early twentieth century Scandinavian modernism. \u003cem data-start=\"4788\" data-end=\"4817\"\u003ePortrait of Gabriele Varese\u003c\/em\u003e stands as an important document of his cubist period and of the cosmopolitan milieu in which it was formed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4932\" data-end=\"4945\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4932\" data-end=\"4945\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"4932\" data-end=\"4943\"\u003eSources\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eMillesgården, \u003cem data-start=\"4961\" data-end=\"4997\"\u003eDick Beer – Impressionist \u0026amp; Kubist\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"4997\" data-end=\"5000\"\u003eOnita Wass, introductory essay and biographical material\u003cbr data-start=\"5056\" data-end=\"5059\"\u003eExhibition chronology and family archive material\u003cbr data-start=\"5108\" data-end=\"5111\"\u003eNorrköpings Konstmuseum and Moderna Museet references to Dick Beer\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CLASSICARTWORKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42213599183013,"sku":"","price":14000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0115\/6005\/8976\/files\/dick-beer-portrait-of-gabriele-varese-487471.jpg?v=1715341228"},{"product_id":"dick-beer-view-from-a-window-1920","title":"Dick Beer -  View From a Window, 1920","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDick Beer (b.

Dick Beer was influenced by various modernistic expressions. In Paris, the first wave of cubism, led by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, was established. It was a controversial artistic style. There was a heated debate about cubism, in which the artist broke up the motif into smaller components, sometimes called facets, in order to rebuild it on the flat surface of the pictorial plane. This manner of painting represented a complete break with preceding pictorial conventions and naturalistic painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCubism was governed by theory, not practice, and critics claimed that the style was too intellectual for the general public and they predicted that it would disappear and that artists would return to a rather more classic expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe theories surrounding cubism and its various expressions opened up for a number of reinterpretations in the 1910s. Dick Beer was well aware of the cubist discussions. He embraced the ideas but created a varied, personal and emotive cubism in the years around 1918. His painting was often an explosive discharge with playful characteristics and a futuristic dynamism which accentuated the painting’s inherent speed and movement, as for example his works “\u003ci\u003eDancer”\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003e“The Toy Box”\u003c\/i\u003e. He also experimented with geometric compositions of buildings and landscapes, which were reminiscent of Paul Cézanne’s more cubic landscapes. Here, Beer’s colours were often muted, in blue, brown and red hues. He frequently returned to earlier motifs and reworked his canvases into a cubist style, as in “\u003ci\u003eDancer tying her shoes” \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e “Seated dancer\u003c\/i\u003e“.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContemporary art critics were appalled and Beer had to endure severe criticism. At one point, the artist published a reply in the daily \u003ci\u003ePolitiken\u003c\/i\u003e, 1919, where he described his view on art:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“... because love for and understanding of art, ‘l’art pour l’art’, is not easy to achieve, and neither is it easy to comprehend the different movements’ or schools’ origin, goals, characteristic endeavours, etc. – These international phenomena require not only theoretical and art historical knowledge but (...) the ability to empathise with and feel for art, as its practitioners do”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"CLASSICARTWORKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42216024440997,"sku":"","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0115\/6005\/8976\/files\/dick-beer-portrait-of-dr-mens-iii-142810.jpg?v=1715341222"},{"product_id":"dick-beer-from-paris","title":"Dick Beer - From Paris","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDick Beer (b.

Born in Paris, Saint was the son of a jeweler and initially began his career as an apprentice in his father's workshop. However, he soon discovered his passion for painting and turned his attention to miniatures, which were highly popular in 18th and 19th-century Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaint was a highly skilled artist and quickly gained a reputation for his miniature portraits, which were characterized by their delicate detail and fine brushwork. His works often featured prominent figures from French society, including members of the royal family and high-ranking officials. He also painted portraits of wealthy patrons, many of whom commissioned him to create highly personalized works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaint's style was highly influenced by the neoclassical movement, which emphasized clarity, simplicity, and rationality. He often used a limited color palette, focusing on soft pastels and muted tones, which helped to accentuate the delicate features of his subjects. His compositions were typically centered around the face, with little background or context to distract from the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite his success as a miniaturist, Saint was not immune to the changing tastes of the art world. In the mid-19th century, photography began to gain popularity, and many artists who specialized in portraiture found themselves struggling to compete with the speed and accuracy of this new medium. However, Saint continued to work and develop his craft, adapting his style to the changing tastes of his clients and experimenting with new techniques and materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to his work as a miniaturist, Saint was also a skilled draftsman and created a number of highly detailed and intricate drawings and sketches. He was also known for his use of unconventional materials, such as hair, which he would incorporate into his miniature portraits to add texture and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Saint's works are highly prized by collectors and are held in museums and private collections around the world. His legacy as a master of miniature portraiture lives on, and his influence can still be seen in the work of contemporary artists who specialize in this unique and challenging medium.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CLASSICARTWORKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42246145769637,"sku":"CA2121","price":8500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0115\/6005\/8976\/files\/daniel-saint-portrait-of-a-french-gentleman-309811.jpg?v=1715341213"},{"product_id":"henric-ankarcrona-motif-from-the-theatre-of-marcellus-1879","title":"HENRIC ANKARCRONA - MOTIF FROM THE THEATRE OF MARCELLUS, 1879","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eHENRIC ANKARCRONA (1831-1917) SWEDEN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMOTIF FROM THE THEATRE OF MARCELLUS, 1879 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMOTIV FRÅN MARCELLUSTEATERN, 1879  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eoil on paper \u003cbr\u003esigned with monogram och dated HA 79 \u003cbr\u003e19.5 x 14.5 cm \u003cbr\u003ewith frame 29 x 24 cm     \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance\u003c\/strong\u003e:  A Swedish private collection\u003cimg id=\"hola-icon-globe\" src=\"safari-extension:\/\/0879ABC1-B7D1-461F-852C-9763DE6F4F9D\/holaIconWhite.svg\" alt=\"Hola\" style=\"top: -3px; left: -35px;\"\u003e","brand":"CLASSICARTWORKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42257832935589,"sku":"","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0115\/6005\/8976\/files\/henric-ankarcrona-motif-from-the-theatre-of-marcellus-1879-255956.jpg?v=1715341183"},{"product_id":"henric-ankarcrona-italian-landscape-with-ruins-in-distance","title":"HENRIC ANKARCRONA - LANDSCAPE FROM THE ROMAN CAMPAGNA","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHENRIC ANKARCRONA (1831-1917) SWEDEN\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eLANDSCAPE FROM THE ROMAN CAMPAGNA, WITH RUINS IN THE DISTANCE\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eoil on paper \u003cbr\u003esigned with monogram HA\u003cbr\u003e25 x 30 cm\u003cbr\u003ec. 1879\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cbr\u003eA Swedish private collection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Classicartworks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42257852661925,"sku":"","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0115\/6005\/8976\/files\/henric-ankarcrona-landscape-from-the-roman-campagna-876161.jpg?v=1715341261"},{"product_id":"alfred-ekstam-art-nouveau-landscape-winter-landscape","title":"Alfred Ekstam - Art Nouveau Landscape \u0026 Winter Landscape","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlfred Ekstam (1878-1935) Mangskog, Sweden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFront: \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eArt Nouveau Landscape\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBack: \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinter Landscape, Tobyn, Knaggen?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ereversible\u003c\/span\u003e oak frame by Christer Björkman. \u003cbr\u003eframe dimensions 84 x 100 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnna och Edward Karlsson, Mangskog\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlfred Ekstam, a renowned artist from Mangskog, Sweden, is known for his exquisite landscape paintings.
