About the Item

‘A Tutto Galoppo’ by Alfredo Tominz (1854-1936). The painting – which depicts an Italian gentleman setting a brisk pace in a horsedrawn gig – is signed by the artist and presented in a fine quality gold metalleaf frame. Tominz frequently signed his paintings under the pseudonym “J. Harwey” as a way of getting around an exclusivity contract with one of his dealers. Alfredo Tominz was a fashionable and highly successful Italian painter of Belle Époque equestrian scenes, similar in style and execution to the work of his contemporaries Giuseppe De Nittis (1846-1884) and Jean Beraud (1849-1935). Academy Fine Paintings is fully conversant with the legal exemptions which, under the supreme law of the U.S. Constitution, enable us to ship paintings to America free of reciprocal trade tariffs. Clients should also note that tracked and signed for international shipping is always complimentary. Academy Fine Paintings only offers artwork for sale in the finest condition it can be for its age having been professionally cleaned, conserved, and re-varnished. After training with his father in Trieste Alfredo Tominz moved to Munich to become a student of Emil Adam (1843-1924), a celebrated painter of elegant equine portraits. Tominz’s reputation as a master of movement and anatomical accuracy and understanding of horse breeds won him many aristocratic European patrons including Alessandro Durini the 6th Count of Monza, Erwein von Schönborn-Buchheim, and Count Coronini in Austria. Latterly, he became known for his large-scale paintings of Ancient Rome. During his career Tominz exhibited in Vienna, Rome, Milan, and Turin, as well as in Prague where his painting of the Circus Maximus was awarded a gold medal at the 1891 World’s Fair, and in Vienna where he won a silver medal at the Exhibition of the Vienna Secession in 1902.

It is not uncommon for paintings by one member of famous family of artists to be mistakenly attributed to a relative; a picture by “the Elder” is erroneously credited as being by “the Younger” and the work of one brother is confused with another, and so on.
