About the Item

‘Fabbriche di Careggine’ by Edmund John Niemann (1813-1876). Fabbriche di Careggine is the name of a Italian ghost village that today lies beneath Vagli di Sotto, a man-made lake in Tuscany. Prior to its flooding in 1953 the village was home to a community of subsistence farmers who raised sheep and Garfagnana goats. 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. 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. In 19th century British art, the paintings of the Williams, Herring, and Pether families spring to mind. But surely no two English artists have had their work so routinely confused as those of Edmund John Niemann and his son Edward Henry Niemann. The paintings of the younger Niemann are perfectly competent and eternally popular but the work of the father, Edmund John Niemann is - in terms of painterly quality and artistic significance - vastly superior. Where the paintings of Edward Niemann are workmanlike, commercial, and numerous those of his infinitely more talented father are masterful, romantic, and rare. Throughout his highly successful career as one of England’s most eminent landscape painters of mid-19th century, Edmund John Niemann was widely thought of as the heir of Turner, Wilson, and Peter de Wint. Between 1844 and 1872, Edmund John Niemann exhibited 29 paintings at the Royal Academy, 45 at British Institution, and 40 with the Royal Society of British Artists at the Suffolk Street Gallery. Today, works by Niemann Snr. can be found in the Victoria Albert Museum, the British Museum Gallery, the Museum of London, and the Walker Gallery in Liverpool. Dimensions: (framed) 60cm x 74cm (23½” x 29”). Dimensions: (canvas only) 46cm x 61cm (18” x 24”). Medium: Oil on canvas. Provenance: Private collection. Presentation: Bespoke gold metal leaf frame. Condition: Very good. Professionally cleaned, restored, and re-varnished. Ready to hang.

COUNTRY LANDSCAPE - French School - Italian Oil on Canvas Painting
By Emilio Pergola
Located in Napoli, IT
Country landscape - Emilio Pergola Italia 2006 - Oil on canvas cm.50x130 Pergola's works reveal the touch of antiquity that recalls the past where shapes and colors are happily combined. A well-harmonized painting that draws inspiration from the paintings of the French master Leon Augustin Lhermitte. Lhermitte preferred to portray rural scenes and the peasants at work, so much so that he was called "the painter of the reapers". In this beautiful oil on canvas we admire some scenes of life in the fields, some women work while others prepare their lunch. In each painting, Pergola observes the world with deep care, outlining the most important values, the essence and the cosmic symbolism of nature. Pergola's creative technique is a touch of art, its rural landscapes, cottages, its beloved animals, such as horses and cows...
