About the Item

Oil on oak panel Image size: 20 1/2 x 23 1/2 inches (52 x 60 cm) Hand made frame Herri Met de Bles, also known as Henri Blès, Herri de Dinant and Herry de Patinir was a Renaissance and Mannerist landscape painter, native of Bouvignes or Dinant (both in present-day Belgium). He contributed to a distinct style of Northern Renaissance landscape painting basically originating from Gerard David's works and combining small history or religious scenes into compositions defined by perspective and atmospheric effects. De Bles did not aim to create a realistic depiction but an atmospheric effect, as demonstrated in this painting depicting Christ's journey to his crucifixion. Christ’s path to Calvary was a stage of the Passion emphasized by Northern artists, who showed him suffering at the hands of tormenters accompanying him to the site of the Crucifixion. Herri Met de Bles instead shows the moment when Simon the Cyrene temporarily alleviates his suffering by helping him carry the cross, demonstrating the redemptive value of following and imitating Christ. Locating this scene within a vast landscape replete with eye-catching details requires the viewer’s devoted attention, a strategy the artist employs perhaps to moralise the act of looking. The compositional scheme is typical of the Antwerp “world landscape” painting tradition conceived by Joachim Patinir, and culminating in the work of Pieter Brueghel. The first European landscapes since antiquity, they encompassed a staggeringly diverse description of the earth’s topography and often included a variety of cityscapes as well. The impressive scope of this panorama reminds audiences of the universal implications of Christ’s sacrifice.

Ridolfo GhirlandaioThe Lamentation of Christ, 16th Century Oil Old Master

The Lamentation of Christ, 16th Century Oil Old Master

Located in London, GB

Circle of Ridolfo Ghirlandaio 1483 - 1561 Oil on panel Image size: 20 ½ x 16 ½ inches (52 x 42 cm) Handmade contemporary style gilt frame The lamentation of Christ was one of the most popular scenes depicted in European art from the 11th to the 18th century. Depicting the lamentation or pieta from the Italian word for ‘Pity’ of Christ with Jesus’s mother Mary cradling his body. Christ is depicted nude, wearing only a blueish loincloth around his waist, a horizontal scar marking his rib cage. His head and torso are held upright, and his eyes are closed, his right arm lays to his side as does his left. Standing behind him, is the Virgin Mary, outfitted in her traditional dress of a robe with a white veil. She stands behind Christ and bends slightly, looking looking away from Christ to something that has caught her attention, her right hand holding his shoulder. Her left-hand carefully holds his arm. This work is quite unusual with Mary . This stunning work jumps out with its dark background and strong flesh colours. Ridolfo Ghirlandaio was the son of the eminent painter Domenico Ghirlandaio. Following his father’s death in 1494, when he was just eleven years old, Ridolfo is thought to have continued his training with his uncle Davide, who had taken over the Ghirlandaio workshop. Vasari noted that Ridolfo also studied with Fra Bartolommeo...

Around the Camp Fire, 19th Century Oil Landscape Painting, Dated 1840

Located in London, GB

Oil on canvas, signed bottom right and dated '1840' Image size: 22 x 30 inches (56 x 76.25 cm) Albert Bierstadt Recognized as the foremost painter of the American frontier during the nineteenth-century, Albert Bierstadt was born in Solingen, Germany, in 1830. At the age of two, he and his family emigrated to the United States, settling in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Nothing is known of his early art training; however, he might possibly have been influenced by local landscape painters. By the time he was twenty, he was supporting himself by teaching "monochromatic" painting and his work was beginning to attract the attention of New Bedford collectors. In 1853, Bierstadt traveled to Düsseldorf in order to broaden his art education. It was there that he was associated with such American artists as Worthington Whittredge and Carl Wimar, all of whom frequently gathered in the studio of the German-American history painter, Emanuel Leutze...
