About the Item

Ralph Reuben/Ruben Stubbs (English, 1824-1879) Low Tide at Sunset • 19thC Oil on artist board (card) ca. 21 x 36.5 cm • Signed bottom right and verso Worldwide shipping for this object is complimentary - There are no additional charges for handling delivery. Stubbs Ralph Reuben/Ruben was born in 1826 in Bridlington on Englands East coast. His father was Ralph I. Stubbs (1773 -1845), a struggling artist from Hull. Besides basic art lessons from his father, Ralph Reuben didn’t visit schools, nor did he receive any formal training in art. The young artist however knew he was talented and spend time in nature. Fascinated by the wild scenery of the Yorkshire coast. he would wander along the shores lines, sketching the rugged, rocky outcrops and vessels he would discover on his outings. Over time he perfected his skills, especially his talent to be able to depict correctly what he saw and of course his masterly blending of the colours he experienced. Throughout his life he worked hard, knowing full well, that his talent alone would not be enough to be successful. Eventually Ralph Reuben became a household name in Yorkshire and he was not just known as an accomplished local artist, but also appreciated as a jovial fellow, full of anecdotes, mischief and fun – always the soul of any party. Consequently, his paintings found their way into many Yorkshire homes, then into various art collections and finally were sold throughout England and Europe. Today his paintings are still sought after by collectors in the whole world. Ralph Reuben/Ruben Stubbs died on March 30, 1879, in Levisham, England. Here we have a beautiful ‘plain air’ oil sketch, depicting fishing vessels at low tide. The ease the artist displays, to depict this atmospheric scene is breathtaking – you can virtually imagine the artist’s brush dancing over the board arranging the paints into this spontaneous, impressionistic marine painting, as the sun sets over the north sea. This little painting is in its ‘as found’ condition – A bit grubby, scratched and chaffed; but oozing unique charm. On the top is a small hole, through which a string was threaded that suspended the little painting, as it hung in a cottage outside of Norwich, where I bought it out of the estate of the deceased previous owner two decades ago. (I have added a photo of the still attached string) The painting is signed twice – bottom right and across the back. Also, there is a monogram ‘SS’ on the back which is probably the mark of a previous owner. I suggest the next owner takes the painting to their favorite framer, finds the perfect stile of frame which links this little 19thC gem to the stile of their home and it will delight generations to come.

Oil Sketch From Rome Called Ruins of Ancient Rome, c. 1870-72

Located in Stockholm, SE

This beautiful oil sketch, painted en plein air, was created by Swedish artist Olof Arborelius during his stay in Italy from the fall of 1870 until January 1872. The painting features a charming depiction of ancient Roman ruins—either a city wall or an aqueduct—surrounded by lush trees under the clear Italian sky. With loose brushstrokes and a soft, atmospheric touch, the artist captures the natural light and Mediterranean ambiance, demonstrating his profound understanding of plein air painting. Arborelius was heavily influenced by French artistic trends of the time, particularly in his color sensitivity and study of light and air. His time in Italy was critical for his artistic development, marking the height of his mastery in capturing the delicate interplay of light, color, and atmosphere. Several of Arborelius’ Italian oil studies, including similar small-format plein air works, were later exhibited at various prestigious exhibitions. These include the Svenska konstnärernas förening memorial exhibition in 1910, the Svensk-Franska Konstgalleriet in Stockholm in 1931, and a memorial exhibition at the Nationalmuseum in 1943. Viggo Loos praised Arborelius' Italian studies for their "sensitivity to color" and "intense exploration of light and atmosphere," highlighting these works as a high point in the artist's career. Loos emphasized how Arborelius skillfully captured the essence of the Mediterranean landscape, using vibrant tones and delicate brushwork to convey the interplay of light and air. Moreover, Folke Holmér, the curator of Arborelius’ 1943 memorial exhibition, described his Italian sketches as some of the most painterly pieces of his early production, worthy of comparison with the best works Swedish artists had produced in Italy. Among his notable works in major collections are three of his Italian oil studies held at the Nationalmuseum: View from Rome Towards the Arch of Septimius Severus...
