A beautifully executed and rare complementary pair of oil on canvas paintings depicting two of the moist famous and important counter reformation catholic saints St Francis Xavier and St Carlo Borromeo shown in scenes of what the respective saints are mostly famous for. St Francis Xavier for the conversion to Christianity of many S. E Asian countries notably India and St Carlo Borromeo shown asking the Virgin Mary to intercede for the cessation of the terrible plague of 1576. The paintings are presented in refreshed gilded carved wooden frames and are unsigned. St. Francis Xavier was born in Spanish Navarre in 1506 and in 1528, he met St. Ignatius of Loyola. He became one of the seven in 1534 who founded the Society of Jesus (Jesuit Order). In 1536, he left the University of Paris and joined St. Ignatius in Venice. He was ordained in 1537, and in 1540 after the Society was recognized by the Pope, he journeyed to the Far East. Francis Xavier first evangelized the Portuguese colony of Goa in India, then Travancore, Ceylon, Malacca, and the surrounding islands. From there he journeyed to Japan, where he gave Christianity such deep roots that it survived centuries of violent persecution. He died on Sancian Island in 1552, while he was seeking to penetrate into the great forbidden land of China. Despite language problems, lack of funds, resistance from the Europeans as well as the natives, he persevered. St. Francis converted more people in his life than anyone since the Apostle St. Paul. He baptized over 3 million people, converted the entire town of Goa in India, and he labored in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and Japan. He was truly a missionary par excellence. St Carlo Borromeo (1538-1584), was a Cardinal of the Holy Roman Catholic Church and Archbishop of Milan from 1565 to 1583. He was described in the decree for his canonization, as “a man, even while the world smiles on him with the utmost flattery, he lives crucified to the world, spiritually, trampling earthly things, seeking continuously the things of heaven, emulating the life of the Angels on earth, in his thoughts and actions. The plague began in the month of August that year. Milan was celebrating joyfully the arrival of Don John of Austria, on his way to Flanders, where he had been appointed governor. The city authorities were abuzz with excitement in their desire to bestow the highest honours on the Spanish prince, but Charles, who had been Archbishop of the diocese for six years, was following with concern the news coming from Trento, Verona and Mantua, where the plague had begun claiming victims. The first cases exploded in Milan on August 11th, right at the moment when Don John of Austria arrived. The victor of Lepanto, followed by the governor, Antonio de Guzmán y Zuñiga, departed the city, while Carlo Borromeo, who was in Lodi for the Bishop’s funeral, returned in haste. Confusion and fear reigned in Milan and the Archbishop dedicated himself completely to assisting the sick and ordering public and private prayers. Dom Prosper Guéranger sums up his infinite charity in this way: “In the absence of local authorities, he organized the health service, founded or renewed hospitals, sought money and provisions, decreed preventive measures. Most importantly though, he took steps to ensure spiritual help, assistance to the sick and the burial of the dead. Unafraid of being infected, he paid in person, by visiting hospitals, leading penitential processions, being everything to everyone, like a father and true shepherd” St. Carlo was convinced that the epidemic was “a scourge sent by Heaven” as chastisement for the sins of the people and that recourse to spiritual measures was necessary to fight against it: prayer and penitence. He rebuked the civil authorities for having placed their trust in human measures rather than divine ones. “Hadn’t they prohibited all the pious gatherings and processions during the time of the Jubilee? For him, and he was convinced of it, these were the causes of the chastisement. The magistrates who governed the city continued to oppose public ceremonies, out of fear that the large gathering of people would spread contagion, but Charles “who was guided by the Divine Spirit” – recounts another biographer – convinced them by citing various examples, among which was the one regarding St. Gregory the Great who had halted the plague devastating Rome in 590. While the pestilence spread, the Archbishop then ordered three general processions to take place in Milan on the 3rd, 5th and 6th of October, “to placate the wrath of God”. On the first day, the Saint, despite it not being the Lenten season, placed ashes on the heads of the thousands gathered, exhorting them to penitence. Once the ceremony was over, the procession went to the Basilica of St. Ambrose. Charles put himself at the head of the people, dressed in a hooded purple robe, barefoot, penitential cord at his neck and large cross in his hand. The second procession led by the Cardinal headed towards the Basilica of San Lorenzo. The third day the procession from the Duomo headed for the Basilica of Santa Maria at San Celso. St. Carlo carried in his hands a relique of Our Lord’s Holy Nail, which had been given by the Emperor Theodosius to St. Ambrose in the 5th century. The plague didn’t show any signs of waning and Milan appeared depopulated, as a third of its citizens had lost their lives and the others were in quarantine or didn’t dare leave their homes. The Archbishop ordered about twenty stone columns with a cross at the top to be erected in the main squares and city crossroads, allowing the inhabitants from every quarter to take part in the Masses and public prayers - from the windows of their homes. One of Milan’s protectors was St. Sebastian, the martyr the Romans had recourse to during the plague in 672. St. Charles suggested that the magistrates of Milan reconstruct the sanctuary dedicated to him, which was falling into ruins, and to celebrate a solemn feast in his honour for ten years. Finally in July 1577, the plague ceased and in September the founding stone was laid in the civic temple of St. Sebastian, where on January 20th every year, even today a Mass is offered to recall the end of the scourge. St.Carlo Borromeo died on November 3rd 1584 and was buried in the Duomo of Milan. His heart was solemnly translated to Rome, in the Basilica of Saints Ambrose...

Atmospheric Blacksmith Forge Interior by Edvard Petersen signed by monogram This magnificent late 19th-century painting of an atmospheric blacksmith forge interior is by the renowned realist Danish painter Edvard Petersen. Depicting a richly detailed industrial workshop scene, it is a remarkable example of Danish realism. As an authentic Edvard Petersen painting, it showcases the artist’s dedication to portraying the lives of craftsmen and workers in the late 1800s. If you are an art collector or enthusiast seeking to purchase an original blacksmith interior artwork, this vintage realism painting not only holds artistic value but also represents an essential piece of Danish heritage art. Below, we explore the painting’s intricate details, its historical context, and Edvard Petersen's life. 1. Artwork Overview: A Glimpse into the Industrial Past This vintage painting of a blacksmith’s forge reflects the hardworking spirit of the late 19th century. The atmospheric industrial art is meticulously rendered with a keen eye for lighting, texture, and realism. Key aspects of this Danish blacksmith workshop artwork include: Industrial Setting: The painting captures the interior of a blacksmith workshop, filled with well-used tools and the dim glow of the forge. Lighting Mastery: The late 19th-century atmospheric blacksmith interior is defined by its masterful use of light and shadow. The forge fire creates a vivid, warm glow, contrasting with the cooler daylight filtering through a window. Human Element: The blacksmith figures appear in dynamic postures, emphasising the laborious nature of their craft. The workers’ silhouettes against the glow of the fire add depth and dimension. Textural Details: The texture of worn wood, metal tools, and stone flooring is painstakingly realistic, typical of Edvard Petersen’s style. 2. Artistic Style and Techniques A. Realism and Atmosphere As a prominent Danish realist painting, this work exemplifies the realist tradition for which Petersen is known. His choice of subdued, earthy tones highlights the authentic industrial atmosphere. The blend of warm, fiery hues with darker, shadowy tones creates a dramatic and contemplative mood. B. Composition and Structure The composition follows a well-organised structure, with: Foreground Elements: Anvil, tools, and a large wooden barrel. Middle Ground: Figures working at the forge and a workbench. Background: The illuminated workshop window and hanging tools. Colour Palette: Predominantly browns, greys, and ochres with contrasting fiery highlights. Lighting Effect: The combination of natural and artificial lighting enhances the sense of depth and space. 3. Significance of the Painting A. Cultural Context This late 19th-century blacksmith painting...

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. A Classical Italian Countryside Painting...

Eugenio Fernandez Granell As a Surrealist artist, Eugenio's work is principally characterized by its bright and vivid colors that explore nature and the indigenous symbolism of the Americas. His most famous works include Autorretrato (1944), Elegía por Andrés Nin (1991) as well as Crónica de los fiscales de los años horrendos (1986). Granell's work has been incorporated into exhibitions in the Maeght Gallery, the Bodley Gallery, The Museum of Modern Art as well as The Museum of Contemporary Art alongside other Surrealists such as André Breton and Marcel Duchamp. Granell also dedicated himself as a poet, essayist and novelist, publishing 15 books in all.

From the mid-1960s until retirement, he was professor of Spanish literature at Brooklyn College. The Eugenio Granell Foundation was inaugurated in 1995 to conserve the life and work of the artist with an expansive collection of his oils, drawings, constructions, collages and archives.

Early 19th Century Portrait of the Marsh Family Twins, by Thomas Arrowsmith (English: 1772 - 1834), circa 1830, an oil on canvas group portrait of the celebrated five children of the Marsh family of Boston. The two pair of twin girls and their younger brother became well known on both sides of the Atlantic in their day, because sets of twins were pretty rare, and these children were so ridiculously cute. Apparently the greatest artists of their day were all clamoring to paint their portraits. The Magazine Antiques ran an article on the children and their popularity about 20 years ago. The short hair cuts sported by the girls are quite striking, and are actually not as odd and rare as many people assume. While longer hair enhanced with ringlets and other curls were very much the popular fashion, a good number of parents did boldly break away with these daring short bobs. Perhaps they were the "bohemians" of their day. The style grew in popularity, even among adults, following the French Revolution: dubbed "Guillotine Haircuts" they declared sympathy for the deposed royals. In this particular instance, I believe the short hair was chosen because it focused more attention on the beautiful faces, and lessened the variations in height and hair color to make them all look even more alike. A delightful painting, slightly Romantic School, a touch Folk Art, in excellent condition and signed on the reverse. Thomas Arrowsmith was a highly regarded artist who worked almost entirely in miniature. Such artists who created such amazingly detailed tiny portraits on ivory...
