Oil on Canvas; Hounds Chasing a Stag, Studio of Frans Snyders, Antwerp 1579-1657
By Frans Snyders
Located in London, GB
This powerful hunting scene is closely associated to the work of Antwerp-born seventeenth century painter and draughtsman Frans Snyders, widely considered the “progenitor of Flemish Baroque still-life and animal painting.”
Having grown up surrounded by artists, Snyders was initially apprenticed to Pieter Brueghel the Younger (1564-1637/38), scion of a well-established family of painters. Like many of his contemporaries in Northern Europe, to complete his education he then travelled to Italy, staying mainly in Rome and Milan (1608-09). Once back in Flanders, his profile as a skilled young painter – who had refined his craft by studying the masters of Italian art – came to the attention of Sir Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640), in whose Antwerp studio Snyders entered as an assistant in about 1610, and with whom he would go on to collaborate on a number of important commissions for years to come. In 1611, Snyders further strengthened his ties with the local community of painters by marrying Margaretha de Vos, sister to Cornelis and Paul de Vos, two artists with whom he would also regularly collaborate.
Thanks to the lessons learned in Italy and in Rubens’ studio, Snyders soon achieved the ability to create rhythmic and dynamic compositions, infused with vibrant colours and powerful naturalistic effects. Centred on the theme of the still life, his market scenes and representations of richly stocked pantries and larders embodied the buoyant and confident spirit of seventeenth-century Antwerp, a trading port with a wealthy merchant class and aristocracy (Still Life with Dead Game, Fruits, and Vegetables in a Market, 1614, The Art Institute of Chicago; Still-Life with Fowl and Game, 1614, Wallraf-Richartz Museum, Cologne). Flowers from all seasons and dead game are portrayed alongside baskets overflowing with fruit, precious gilt vessels and Chinese Wanli porcelain...

17th Century Mystical Marriage of Saint Catherine Oli on Canvas Roman School
Located in Milan, IT
17th century, Roman School
Mystical marriage of Saint Catherine of Alexandria
Oil on canvas, 32 x 23 cm
Frame cm 45 x 36
The saint is depicted in front of the Virgin holding the Child portrayed with the wedding ring in his hand, enriched with a precious stone. According to the Golden Legend, Catherine of Alexandria was a very beautiful young woman, the only daughter of the king of Costa, who had refused to marry the emperor Maxentius because she was a Christian and devoted to Christ. Maxentius, unable to convince her to sacrifice to idols, had sent to call the wisest men and fifty philosophers and orators who presented themselves and tried to divert her from faith in Christ. Catherine, however, played so well that she was able to convert them, arousing the anger of the emperor who condemned them to the stake. Catherine, however, who had criticized Maxentius for the new persecutions against the Christians, was sentenced to prison without food. Abandoned for twelve days, she was fed by a dove sent by God. Maxentius then decided to execute her with the torture of the toothed wheel become her attribute iconographic; but by divine intervention this broke and the young was saved. Finally, she was beheaded and milk flowed from her neck. Catherine’s princely status is witnessed here by her sumptuous dress. The iconography of the mystical marriage was born in the fifteenth century, probably because the traditional iconographic attribute, the wheel, was sometimes so small as to look like a ring, and refers to a vision that will always remain present in the mind and heart of the saint. In Heaven she appeared to her, among the Angels and Saints, Christ the Child, in the arms of the Virgin. He took a precious ring that the Virgin Mary handed to her and put it in her finger, saying "I, your Creator and Saviour, take you in marriage; confident that you will keep you pure until you celebrate your eternal wedding with me, in Paradise" When Catherine was laughing, she found in her finger the same ring that she had seen and had in Heaven, and she considered herself forever the bride of Christ.
In this extraordinary episode we can see the heart of Catherine’s religious sense, and of all her spirituality. For her, Christ is like the bridegroom, with whom there is a relationship of intimacy, communion and fidelity; he is the beloved, whom she loves above all...

16th Century Adoration of The Shepherds Painting Oil on Copper
Located in Milan, IT
Attr. to Girolamo Siciolante known as da Sermoneta (Sermoneta, 1521 - Rome, 1575)
Adoration of the Shepherds
Oil on copper, 39 x 29.5 cm
Frame 47 x 39 cm
The refined taste, the refined poses, the definition of the anatomies, the vibrant light, allow us to identify for this painting the hand of a Mannerist painter active during the sixteenth century. In particular, the composition and stylistic research allow us to attribute the panel to Girolamo Siciolante, known as da Sermoneta (1521 - 1575). His first training took place under the guidance of Leonardo Grazia known as da Pistoia (1502 - 1548). Later he settled in Rome where he was able to see the painting of Raphael and Michelangelo from life and where he was first a pupil and then a collaborator of Perin del Vaga...

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.

16th Century Adoration of the Shepherds Painting Oil on Copper by Carnevale
Located in Milan, IT
Domenico Carnevale (Sassuolo, 1524 - Modena, 1579) Adoration of the Shepherds
Oil on copper, 42 x 28 cm
Frame 54 x 36 cm
Expert opinion of Prof. Emilio Negro
The painting represents the Adoration of the Shepherds, the Child in the center, next to the Madonna kneeling in prayer and an angel behind her; towards him in the foreground a woman with a child in her arms, a shepherd with a sheep on the right, a bagpiper on the left and various other male and female characters turn to him. The architectures of the background, between which a glimpse of the landscape can be glimpsed, are hidden in the upper part by the clouds, where a "celestial glory" encamps with three flying angels.
The painting shows mannerist characters that can be traced back to the second half of the sixteenth century, and can be traced back to an author from the Modena area, with stylistic references to the Bolognese Samacchini (1532 - 1577) and Passerotti (1529 - 1592). More precisely, it can be attributed to Domenico Carnevale (1524-1579), one of the most important masters of the sixteenth century active in the local area. The Carnival was formed in Emilia, his homeland, where he worked for many years. However, his works also show a clear Roman influence, dictated by a long experience in the city, during which he also dedicated himself to the restoration of the Sistine Chapel. Trained in the late-mannerist environment of Modena, he is also linked to the Parmesan Corrorese and Ferrarese Dossesque tradition; Carnival also always maintains a slight archaic sentiment in his work,
The main stylistic reference must be identified in a work similar in subject and iconographic setting, coming from the church of the Pio Istituto Orfanelle di San Geminiano di Modena, currently part of the Art Collection of the Province, attributed to the same influence as the Carnival. Another interesting comparison should be identified with A Presentation of Jesus in the Temple...
