About the Item

JOHANN BERNARD DE HOOG Dutch, 1866-1943 Interior Scene of a Mother and Infant Daughter Oil on canvas signed Bernard de Hoog lower right Item # 407QDS10A An endearing scene that captures the essence of the home, de Hoog is careful to choose his light in a way that highlights the focal points of the austere scene while creating dramatic shadows as the table and figure block the sunlight pouring through an unseen window before her. The surface is characterized by an energetic and vigorous brushwork using a loaded brush for medium impasto that borders on Impressionistic. Bold strokes deliver heavy layers of pigment that are worked and reworked while the paint was still wet, bringing darker underlying colors through to the brighter pigments overlayed. It is De Hoog's ability to walk that perfect balance between the evocative and the starkly realist that makes his work so completely magical. The present example is a very good representation of this, capturing the mannerisms of the contented infant with her endlessly moving fingers as the young mother begins to soothe her sore gums with her index finger. The work is signed in the lower right corner in his typical script "Bernard de Hoog" and is housed in a wonderful contemporary carved giltwood frame that perfectly compliments the scene. ARTIST BIOGRAPHY Born in Amsterdam, Holland in 1886, Bernard de Hoog wanted to pursue art studies after showing some talent at a young age, but this was against the wishes of his father and instead he went to work in a merchant's office. The merchant saw a sample of his studies and commissioned de Hoog to paint a portrait of his wife. Following this encouragement, de Hoog studied under a drawing master and later at the Quellinus School in Amsterdam with the assistance of a subsidy by the queen. There he was pupil to Johann Frederick Hulk Sr. and worked under the famous animal painter Jan van Essen. He was heavily influenced by the technical excellence and realism of the Hague School and deeply admired the old masters, copying works of Pieter de Hooch and Frans Hals. It was from his first major show in 1886 that his work began to gain visibility with his Amsterdam exhibition of During the Sermon in New Church. He continued to exhibit throughout Holland, but also became well known internationally where his works were exported to ready markets in England, Canada and the United States. Rather insightful auction records during his lifetime show his works hitting the secondary market as early as 1907. His work of Humble Interiorwas offered in New York in 1911 when he was 45 years old where it achieved $ 1000 USD, an inflation adjusted figure coming to just over $ 25,000 in today's dollars. Throughout his career, de Hoog remained disciplined and focused on his specialization. True to the principles of the Hague School, his emphasis was on tangible subjects, true surroundings, tender moments and technical superiority in the use of light to create atmosphere. His work tended towards family scenes, often interior paintings with a mother and her children at the center of his focus, usually depicting humble circumstances and peasant life unapologetically. Not one to romanticize poverty, the body of his work rather captures the dignity of hard work and the highlights the richness of a loving home and deep relationships. While his work certainly has an appreciation for the masters of the 18th and 19th centuries, there is a distinctly modern element in his work that is borderline Impressionist with a heavy impasto and vigorous brush work. His work is always characterized by translucency of light, warm atmosphere, an incredibly diverse palette and rich color development, complexity of character portrayal and the genuine nature of his subjects.

“Hen and Chicks” 1867 Antique Oil Painting by Andrea Cherubini, Italian

Located in Shippensburg, PA

An exquisite interior scene depicting a mother hen as she roosts while her chicks peck about the room, four feeding on the grain in a simple white porcelain plate while several gather to drink from a pottery vessel filled with water. The interior suggests the location is perhaps the storeroom or root cellar with a shelf stacked with garlic and a covered vessel hanging on the wall over the hen. The work is signed in the lower left corner "A Cherubini 1867, Roma" and the reverse retains labels from the gallery of Schillay Fine Art, Inc. in New York and subsequently an inventory label for Faultless Starch Bonami Company. The work has been professionally conserved and remains in pristine condition. Born in Rome in 1833, Andrea Cherubini was primarily a landscape and seascape painter, preferring to capture views of Southern Italy. A typical example would include Drawing in the nets, Sorrento offered at Christies, London in January of 2013, ultimately achieving 4375 GBP. The Benezit notes a few of his scenes as particularly interesting, including Seascape (1883), Eight Views of Capri and Views of the Island of Ischia and Surroundings.
