James Salt: British, (1850-1903)
Venetian Capriccio with
Boats
Oil on canvas, signed
18 inches x 32 inches
James Salt was a London painter of Venetian scenes who worked during the
latter part of the 19th century. Although he does not appear to have
exhibited, his popular works would have found a ready market through art
dealers and galleries. Salt’s works are confidently and meticulously
painted. He is able to capture the atmosphere and charm of one of the
world’s most beautiful cities.

Josefine Swabota's: Royal Children: Watercolor: $22,000.00 USD
1907
The
watercolour was painted by an Austrian female artist called Josephine
Swoboda (1861-1924), who worked as a society portrait painter in the late
19th century. There are not that many works by this artist that have passed
through auction in the past ten years. The inscription close to the
signature reads: Lussinpiccolo. This is the name of a village close to the
town of Triest, northern Italy. In the late 19th century Triest was a
popular resort for European nobility and royalty.

Joseph Wright: Portrait of an Old
Man or "Kit Kat": Worth 120K USD
Joseph Wright (1734-1797), one of the
most distinguished 18th century British artists, was born in Derby, of a
respectable family of lawyers. He trained in the London studio of the
fashionable and successful artist Thomas Hudson where he spent almost three
years. Wright made attempts to establish his practice as an artist in
Liverpool, and also in Bath. He regularly exhibited his paintings at the
Royal Society of Arts in London. However, it was Derby where the artist
lived and worked for most of his life. He became known as Wright of Derby.
Like many artists of his time, he traveled to Italy in 1773-1774. He drew
and painted ancient ruins, copied classical statues and saw the spectacular
fireworks accompanying the Carnival in Rome. In Naples he witnessed an
eruption of Mount Vesuvius, which provided him with the inspiration for
several dozen paintings depicting the dramatic effects of fire and darkness.
He explored the picturesque caverns and grottoes around the shores of the
bay of Naples. Impressions of Italian nature, “beautiful and uncommon, with
an atmosphere so pure and clear” are reflected in many of his subsequent
works.
Success as a portrait painter made money for Wright, but it was his
scientific and industrial paintings, full of dramatic contrasts of light and
darkness, which distinguished him from other contemporary artists and
assured his unique position in British Art. Wright’s residence in Derby,
although provincial, turned out to be a lucky one, because it was here that
the Industrial Revolution was at most visual, through blacksmith shops,
glass and pottery cones, factories, new machines and engines.
Wright was never a formal member of the Lunar Society, but his long
friendship with John Whitehurst (1713-1788) and Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802)
certainly made him a Lunar satellite. Unlike many other European groups of
intellectuals representing the movement of the Enlightenment, the Lunar
Society of Birmingham was fortunate to inspire a great artist, who was not
only able to produce the likeness of its members, but who also captured the
pathos and excitement of experiment and discovery.

Beehive |
|
| Beehive, Austria, or
Beehive, Vienna, are terms used in English-speaking countries to refer
to the many types of decorated porcelain bearing a mark that looks like
a beehive. The mark is actually a shield, viewed upside down. It was
first used in 1744 by the Royal Porcelain Manufactory of Vienna. The
firm made porcelains, called Royal Vienna by collectors, until it closed
in 1864. Many other German, Austrian, and Japanese factories have
reproduced Royal Vienna wares, complete with the original shield or
beehive mark. This listing includes the expensive, original Royal Vienna
porcelains and many other types of beehive porcelain. The Royal Vienna
pieces include that name in the description. |
