Adolf Schreyer Animal Paintings
German, 1828-1899
Adolf Schreyer (1828-1899) was a renowned German artist known for his exceptional skill in painting equestrian and Orientalist subjects. Born on May 9, 1828, in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, Schreyer showed a talent for art from a young age.
At the age of 16, Schreyer began his formal artistic training at the Städel Institute in Frankfurt. He later traveled to Düsseldorf, where he studied under the influential landscape and genre painter, Johann Wilhelm Schirmer. Under Schirmer's guidance, Schreyer developed a keen eye for capturing atmospheric effects and natural landscapes.
In 1854, Schreyer embarked on a journey that would have a profound impact on his artistic career. He traveled to North Africa, including Algeria and Egypt, where he immersed himself in the vibrant culture and landscapes of the region. The time spent in the Orient greatly influenced his artistic style and subject matter.
Schreyer's paintings often depicted scenes of Arab horsemen engaged in battle or moments of intense action. His ability to capture the energy and movement of horses, as well as the exoticism of the Oriental settings, earned him considerable acclaim. His works were highly sought after by collectors and art enthusiasts of his time.
The artist's Orientalist works were characterized by their meticulous attention to detail, vibrant colors, and dramatic lighting. Schreyer's ability to convey the intensity of battle scenes, the grace of horses in motion, and the rich cultural traditions of the Arab world set him apart as a master of his craft.
Throughout his career, Schreyer received numerous accolades and recognition for his art. He exhibited his works extensively in Germany and other European cities, including Paris and Vienna. Schreyer's paintings were also well-received in America, where they found a significant market.
Today, Adolf Schreyer's works can be found in prestigious museums and private collections around the world. His legacy as one of the foremost Orientalist painters of the 19th century continues to captivate art enthusiasts and collectors alike. Adolf Schreyer passed away on July 29, 1899, leaving behind a rich artistic legacy that remains influential to this day.to

Country Cottage
By Abraham Hulk the Younger
Located in Hillsborough, NC
Late 19th/early 20th century oil on canvas painting in the manner of Abraham Hulk the Younger (1851-1922), and George Vincent (1796-1832). These artists painted in the Dutch style, though both are British. Each has had experience with Dutch masters that influence their work. George Vincent’s work is perhaps even closer to this than Hulk’s. Vincent paints the trees and skies with the warm hues of light infused on the work. Here, the sky has blue but also a khaki or tan shade, roughed into the blue and white. It is an unusual color in skies, yet Vincent shows us the light through clouds castingva darker shade. The trees are varied greens but also yellowed leaves, as in autumn.
Presented in a period decorative gilt frame, the painting is of a cottage in a woodland with cattle by a pond, a little black dog and man and a woman standing by. In the distance is a glimpse of a river and grasses, framed by trees and an overcast sky.
Hulk is renowned for his treatment of the changing season from summer to autumn, and the golden leaves and fading greens in this painting suggest this changing time of year.
Hulk is the son of a well known Dutch maritime...
