About the Item

Oil on canvas. Signed and dated bottom-center: O. Grashof 1850. A landscape with gnarled trees and a wide view, in the foreground several detailed and masterfully executed horses and a herding boy, in the distance the silhouette of a church village, the whole scenery under a wide sky. Otto Grashof shows us the quality of his painting art in a landscape photograph of the Lower Rhine that is unusual for him: the perspective foreshortening of the horses from different angles, the skillful treatment of the surface of the fur in contrast to the accentuated leaves, his clear lines in the portraits. With such paintings he had success at the court of the tsars in Russia and was now back in his home town of Cologne looking for new clients. The revolution of 1848 had left its mark and had an impact on the artist's life. Otto Grashof was trained as a portrait and history painter in Berlin and Düsseldorf. At the Düsseldorf Academy he was a student of Wilhelm Schadow. Since the young artist did not have career opportunities in either the Rhineland or Prussia after completing his studies, he joined a merchant who traveled to St. Petersburg in early February 1838 in the hope of better job opportunities in Russia - with success. He stayed there and in Moscow until 1845 and received commissions from the highest social class, including the tsarist family. Tsar Nicholas I was benevolent towards German artists. At first, Grashof was supported by German merchants; you had him portray you. Since the pictures were excellently executed, a large group of people became aware of him: he also painted family pictures, equestrian scenes, bear hunts, the zealotist Vasily Veliki and landscapes. He also devoted himself to historical topics as a demonstration of Russian military history such as the Russo-Ottoman War of 1828/29. Influenced by his stay in Russia from 1840 onwards, his subjects became more and more exotic for contemporary tastes. After his return he stayed in the Rhineland for a few years, during which he sought contact and support from the Prussian king and from 1852 went to Argentina. Carsten Roth writes in his entry on Grashof in the general artist lexicon that the real reason for the trip was the sale of a number of works in South America.

19th Century landscape oil painting of horses near a barn with figures a dog

By Thomas Blinks

Located in Nr Broadway, Worcestershire

Thomas Blinks British, (1853-1910) Midday Rest Oil on canvas, signed & dated (18)87 Image size: 11.5 inches x 17.5 inches Size including frame: 20.25 inches x 26.25 inches A pleasing landscape painting of a plough team at rest next to a barn by Thomas Blinks. Three horses are shown eating hay from a cart in the shade of a barn. Two figures and a dog are also depicted taking their repast. On the left of the scene, open fields can be seen through a gate whilst in the far distance a church and other buildings can be made out on the brow of a hill. Thomas Blinks was born in Maidstone, Kent on 29 October 1853 to Richard Blinks and Eleanor Poile. His father was a master butcher in Ticehurst and the family lived above the shop, which is still operates as a butchers today. Thomas initially worked for his father but his talent for art soon took him in another direction. He married Louisa Anne Winterbottom on 11 April 1874, at Rye, Sussex and together they had 3 children. They lived in Hawkhurst, Kent before moving to Hackney, London in 1878. Whilst largely self- taught, Blinks would have learnt basic anatomy from working with his father, but he also spent time at Tattersalls canine and horse auctions...
