About the Item

A scene full of life and romance, a picture of toil among friends and neighbors, this exquisite painting of Alpine life by Joseph Heinrich Ludwig Marr captures the very essence of Romanticism. An idyllic glimpse at the past capturing a space shared by man and beast alike, the work sought to capture a nostalgia for a time of simplicity and Community for city-dwelling patrons and clients. Some women of the village gather around the well at the center of the town to clean and dry baskets of clothing while cattle drink from the basin. A farmer with his scythe braced on his shoulder fills a jug full of water while a young goatherd calls for his flock. A flock of ducks pad around the dirt road while other animals move about through the scene. The building architecture is dramatic and full of texture, the entire scene beautifully lit under clear skies before the towering stones of the Alpines. It remains an incredibly rich and moving work preserved in nearly pristine condition. Measurements: 27 7/8" H x 24" W [panel]; 33 5/8" H x 29 3/4" W x 3 5/8" D [frame].

Antique English Painting “Lake Nemi, Italy” 1865 by John Wilson Carmichael
By Carmichael
Located in Shippensburg, PA
The present work is an interesting scene for a number of reasons, including importantly its time of execution in 1865. It was during a period of his retirement to Scarsborough following time spent in Italy, sketching the major lakes and landscapes in the northern part of the country. Likely executed in his studio using the preparatory sketches made of the area during these travels, the scene captures an idyllic view of Lake Nemi during sunset. It is rich in fall colors as light cascades through the haze of clouds and strikes the turning leaves of the trees, casting long shadows along the meadow grasses. The blue waters of Lake Nemi are cool and reflect the landscape bordering the shore. The focal point of the scene is a family of three that is taking the day to hike the local countryside, breaking along a rock to enjoy the lovely views. The work is signed and dated 1865 in the lower right corner and the original frame retains a label on it from John Hay Son, an art dealer, framer and gilder in John Wilson Carmichael...
