About the Item

19th Century Austrian / German Romantic Landscape Painting, Oil on Tin, in Original Gilt Frame A finely executed 19th-century Austrian / German School Romantic landscape painting, oil on tin, depicting a dramatic alpine river valley beneath a softly illuminated evening sky. Towering mountain forms rise in the distance, while a winding river and arched stone bridge draw the eye through the composition, animated by small staffage figures that lend scale and quiet narrative. The use of oil on tin gives the surface a distinctive smoothness and luminosity, enhancing the atmospheric effects of light and depth that are characteristic of Central European Romantic landscape painting. The handling of the sky and distant peaks shows a sensitive understanding of tonal recession, while the foreground is more structurally defined, creating a balanced and harmonious composition. The painting is housed in its original richly carved giltwood frame, which remains beautifully proportioned to the work and adds significant decorative presence. The warm patina of the gilt complements the tonal palette of the painting and reinforces its period character. This piece displays exceptionally well in both classical and contemporary interiors, making an elegant focal point above a fireplace, in a library, or within a curated interior scheme. Details Medium: Oil on tin Period: 19th century School: Austrian / German Frame: Original carved giltwood frame Condition: Very good antique condition; minor surface wear consistent with age A refined and atmospheric Romantic landscape, notable for its oil-on-tin execution and timeless continental appeal.

Manner of Claude Lorrain Merchants on the banks of the river po
By (after) Claude Lorrain (Claude Gellée)
Located in Seaford, GB
Italianate landscape, Manner of Claude Lorrain Very good Quality oil on relined canvas in the Manner of Claude Lorrain, cargo ships on the banks of the river Po Italy. 📜 Provenance – Italianate Landscape after Claude Lorrain, England or Italy, circa late 18th–early 19th century This finely executed oil on canvas is an accomplished historic copy after Claude Lorrain’s celebrated Italianate river landscapes, specifically related to his Landscape with Merchants (c. 1630s), held at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. The composition also bears a close resemblance to the 1769 engraving by Boydell and James Mason, after a painting once in the distinguished collection of Robert Trevor, 4th Baron Trevor, later 1st Viscount Hampden. The scene features cargo ships along the tranquil banks of the River Po, enveloped in the soft, atmospheric light for which Claude Lorrain (1600–1682) is universally revered. Executed in the idiom of the Grand Tour period, the painting exemplifies the classical Arcadian themes sought by aristocratic collectors travelling through Italy in the 18th and early 19th centuries. This work is a particularly elegant example of the period's taste for Claudean compositions, balancing architectural elements with expansive vistas and golden, diffused light. The canvas has been professionally relined and restored, housed in a contemporary frame that complements the work’s scale and palette. Minor craquelure and darkening to areas of the blue and green pigments remain consistent with age, enhancing its historic charm. Ideal for integration into neoclassical, traditional, or transitional interiors, this work represents an opportunity to acquire a piece of decorative art with a strong visual lineage and academic relevance — a testament to Lorrain’s enduring influence across centuries of landscape painting. Very similar to the Landscape with Merchants in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. Our version could be after the engraving by Boydell and James Mason on 1st January 1769. Interestingly, the source painting for the painting was once in the collection of Robert Trevor, 4th Baron Trevor (from 1764), and subsequently (from 1776) 1st Viscount Hampden. 18th-Century Italian Landscape in the Manner of Claude Lorrain This exquisite 18th-century Italian Landscape in the manner of Claude Lorrain captures the essence of Italian Baroque landscape painting, showcasing the serene beauty and harmony of the classical countryside. Drawing inspiration from the Golden Age landscape painting, it reflects the elegance and detail characteristic of Claude Lorrain-style artwork, featuring sweeping vistas, balanced compositions, and an idealised landscape scene that exudes timeless charm.
