Octave-Louis Van Cuyck Wall Decorations

PRESENTING a simply beautiful, monumental and imposing original work of contemporary art, namely, a Triptych oil on canvas panels of New Orleans Colonial/French Quarter Houses. Unsigned and undated, but most definitely inspired by the World Renowned New Orleans artist, James Michalopoulos. These were not painted by Michalopoulos, but were clearly inspired by him and his famous depictions of ‘wavey’ New Orleans houses. Also, they were created and painted in New Orleans, contemporaneously to when Michalopoulos was starting to become recognized, in the New Orleans (and greater) artworld. The 3 panels work perfectly together as a visual feast and ‘connected’ work of art. The panel on the left features a wavy blue, grey and yellow, French Quarter style 2 Story Wooden house, complete with Corinthian Style Columns, decks, railings, storm shuttered windows, etc. It has a deep blue sky with shimmering light reflections. The garden to the front, has steps leading to the house and has shrubs and flowers, that are continued into the 2nd or middle/center panel. The middle or center panel incorporates the other side of the garden plants etc for continuity and it features a single story pink, yellow and white wavy French Quarter style house, with fabulous decor and complete with decks, railings, storm shuttered windows, etc. It has a deep blue sky with shimmering light reflections and a white moon, emitting swirling patterns of light. The garden to the front, has steps leading to the house and has shrubs and flowers, that are continued into the 3rd or right panel. The right panel, features a wavy light...

A Large Continental Oil on Canvas "The Prohibited Reading " after Karel Ooms (Belgium, 1845-1900). This beautiful executed painting depicts a historical scene of an old man and a young woman who are huddled over a bible. The pair is gazing in apparent concern or alarm, over the old man's shoulder, towards something outside of the picture.

Oil on canvas, “The Descent from the Cross” (La Descente de la Croix), executed in the style of Peter Paul Rubens. Few compositions capture the emotional intensity and dramatic power of the Baroque period as compellingly as The Descent from the Cross. Celebrated for its monumentality, this iconic scene also marks the beginning of Rubens’ Classicist phase (circa 1612–1620), where harmony and structure meet expressive movement. This highly desirable period copy after Rubens’ celebrated masterpiece offers a rare opportunity to bring that same grandeur into a private interior. The composition draws the viewer in immediately, with its dynamic arrangement of figures and masterful use of light and shadow creating a powerful focal point in any space. Whether placed in a classic or contemporary setting, it commands attention and invites closer viewing. The painting has aged gracefully, with some restorations consistent with its history, yet it retains a rich and evocative surface. Once displayed, it reveals itself as an impressive and decorative antique canvas...
