About the Item
CIRCLE OF KAREL BREYDEL (ANTWERP, 1678-1744)
Flemish School, circa second quarter of the 18th century
Cavalry Battling Along the River Banks
Oil on panel right panel signed illegibly lower left corner "C. Crondel (?)
Item # 311AFD09Q
A powerful pair of panels that perhaps depict a battle scene from the War of the Austrian Succession and a clash between British or Austrian troops and the French army. In the distance vast battalions gather along the water's edge. Boats can be seen in the distance landing on the shores while plumes of smoke rise from the gunfire on the banks. But in the foreground, the focus of the picture is on the intensity of combat on horseback with soldiers from both sides fallen from their mounts, dead or dying on the ground while the rest of the troops remain rapt in battle.
Each painting is executed on oak panel in a manner that creates a brilliant curving panorama, not intending to perfectly match the landscapes together but rather to create a serene visual focal point that curves outward from the grove of trees in the center. The landscape is gorgeous with trees twisting into the bright blue sky under soft clouds as light cascades through the light the hills and blue waters of the bending river. An expertly painted pair of exceedingly good quality, the complex interplay of figures on the landscape is as haunting as it is admirable.
The right panel is signed illegibly in the lower left corner.
An exquisite and quite rare selection.
Measurements: 12 1/8" H x 1 1/4" D x 23 5/8" W [frame]
Condition Report:
Frame is 20th century; panels in very fine condition, cleaned and sealed in a traditional Damar varnish; under UV examination, a few recent spots of inpaint are present throughout the sky, older overpaint to clouds (upper left of left and left side of panel); there is some flaring to the varnish around the signature on the right panel (lower left corner), but the signature does appear to be untouched; the surfaces appear otherwise relatively free of restoration, but more technical tools would be required for a complete examination of surface conservation due to the age and overall homogenity of the surface. A very fine presentation, ready to place.

"Resting on the Bluff" - a Pair
Circle of Pieter van Bloemen (Flemish, 1657-1720) unsigned later engraved attribution plaque on each frame executed in oil on canvas
Item # 911TRM16W
A vibrant and complex pair of Italianate landscape scenes of travelers resting on a bluff overlooking the valley and cities beyond, they are a powerful presentation with exquisitely painted animals. Notable influences of anthropomorphic Romanticism in the features of the horses lend a certain humor and lightheartedness to the scenes; in one a cheery rider arrives on a donkey and engages a resting woman and her child...

Cuirassiers Sharing Wine with Rural Countryman
Oil on canvas signed lower left "Perboyre"
Item # 309ULM18A
A rich historical painting that captures the heart and reality of the Franco-Prussian conflict, the scene depicts a troop of Cuirassiers stopping for the afternoon in a non-descript field in the French countryside. Presumably the owner of the field, an older man has come out in the heat of the afternoon to greet the soldiers with a basket of wine bottles, offering a glass to the officers while chatting casually with them. Perhaps he is a local guide offering a sense of what the soldiers might expect in the rural countryside, but more likely it is simply a moment of reprieve in the idyllic countryside and a distinct juxtaposition to the intensity and drama of Perboyre's battle scenes.
The Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871) was the last use of "cuirassiers" in the French army with uniforms characterized by the distinct helmets known as a "casque à crinière" featuring a plume of horsehair. The cuirassiers wore a breastplate (cuirass) and the red trousers were a standard part of the French military uniform...
