About the Item

“A Very Large Draft Standing Horse in the Stable” Georg Wolf (Alsace/Germany 1882-1962) Oil on canvas 39 1/2 x 21 1/2 (50 1/4 x 42 1/4 frame) inches Estate stamp and inventory No. 178 on the back of the frame.  This very large canvas creates an emphasis on the massiveness of the draft horse. In fact, the subject was shown to be of giant proprtions that Wolf had his head purposely painted as if the canvas couldn't contain him. This depiction is deftly handled with an interesting palette developed with myriad complementary and colors and confident brushstrokes. Wolf was a master of his craft. The emphasis on the horse's gargantuan size is so great that it barely fits in the volume of the frame. The exquisite brushwork and use of layers of complementary and contrasting color gives a tremendous sense of depth and palpable sense of life. The execution light and shadow of the horse's coat has an incredible almost life-like sheen much like a recently brushed horse. A German animal and landscape painter from the Düsseldorf Art Academy. Wolf was a master student of Professor Julius Paul Junghanns who then continued his studies at the Heinrich von Zugel Animal Painting School from 1909-1914. Americans studying at the Dusseldorf School included George Caleb Bingham, Albert Bierstadt, Eastman Johnson, et. al

Galloping Horse and Rider Alessio Issupoff (1889 Russia-1957 Rome)
Located in SANTA FE, NM
"Galloping Horse and Rider" Alessio Issupoff (1889 Russia-1957 Rome) Oil on wood panel Signed lower right 5 1/2 x8 1/2 (13 1/2 x 16 1/2 frame) inches This is such a stunning little jewel, it's almost hard to believe. Alessio Issupoff dedicated his whole life to art and was shaped by his years at the Moscow School of Painting, and later absorbed a great deal from Impressionism and the work of the Italian Renaissance masters. But he kept his distinctive style and remained true to the idea that excited the generation of painters of the turn of the 20th century — “the embodiment of the great beauty of everything alive.” Alexei Vladimirovich Isupov, known by his Italianized name Alessio Issupoff, was born in Vyatka (now Kirov) on March 10, 1889. The son of an icon carver and gilder, he learned to paint from the artisan painters who worked with his father. Wanting to give expression to his own artistic creativity, the young Alexei did not take up his father's trade but left Vyatka for Moscow where he attended the School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. His mentor was the painter Apollinary Mikhailovich Vasnetsov, brother of Viktor, who introduced him to the Moscow artistic milieu and helped him find work. By studying and visiting museums, Issupoff formed his own aesthetic “taste” by modifying it on contemporary Russian and French Renaissance art...
