Oil-Painting by Jean Thomas (1923- 2019): `the Viaduct of Caramel`
sia antion, riga, latvia
Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lyon, Jean Thomas began exhibiting his works as early as 1946. Following in the footsteps of the great painters of modernity, his early paintings echo Thomass biggest influences, namely Fernand Léger and Matisse. Some articles published about him discuss the assertion of a true artistic personality, comparing him to his contemporaries: Bernard Buffet, Aizpiri, Krol, Martinet, Patrix etc. From 1955 onwards, Jean Thomas focused primarily on landscape painting, through a precise study of light and great pictorial mastery. His works bear witness to a trend: the realistic post-war landscapes. As a professional painter, he exhibited his works on numerous occasions, most notably at the Art Gallery of Place Beauvau and at the Tournelle Gallery in Paris. In total, he participated in over a hundred exhibitions in France and abroad.Enclosed in a white frame, this painting was completed by Jean Thomas on the 9th of June 1984.

18th Century Oil Painting of Child with Tambourine Walking on a Panthera
sia antion, riga, latvia
The child, at the center of the composition, is dressed in an immaculate white tunic that delicately falls over their shoulders and stops just above their knees. The simplicity of the tunic, devoid of excessive ornamentation, highlights the purity and innocence of childhood while adding a touch of grace and lightness to the scene.In their right hand, the child firmly holds a tambourine stick. This detail not only evokes an atmosphere of play and cheerfulness but also subtly alludes to antiquity, dear to artists of the Empire who often sought to blend classicism and modernity. The childs posture, captured in mid-motion, demonstrates a liveliness and spontaneity that make the scene even more authentic and touching.The child appears to walk confidently on a panther skin carefully laid out under their feet. The spotted and luxuriant texture of the skin sharply contrasts with the bright whiteness of the tunic, creating an interesting and sophisticated visual interplay. This luxurious element recalls the opulence and grandeur of the Empire era, where every detail is meticulously designed to evoke magnificence and splendor.The background of the painting is treated with artistic sensitivity that highlights the main subject without distracting from it. Soft shades and harmonious tones envelop the scene, creating a soothing and elegant atmosphere. The light seems to gently caress the childs features, accentuating the volumes and adding an almost tangible dimension to this timeless representation.Although unsigned, this painting from the Empire era delicately and finely captures a scene imbued with innocence and beauty. The attention to detail, mastery of textures and contrasts, and balanced composition testify to the artistic skill of the painters of that time, while offering a work full of charm and majesty.Dimensions with frame: 90x115 cm.

Large Marine Oil-on-Canvas Breton Fisherman in Original Frame, 19th Century
sia antion, riga, latvia
This magnificent oil painting on wood from the late 19th century, signed by the artist D. Fristany, depicts a fishing trip in Brittany in the early hours of the morning. In the foreground, a small boat still moored is preparing to leave, with a group of men busy with nets and fish pots.Beyond it, a large two-masted hourque emerges from the harbour, with more boats already in the distance, setting sail. You can feel the swell on the sea and the rising wind, the sky seems to be darkening with grey clouds, and you can see the carefully worked chiaroscuro/obscuro, which gives the painting great strength and realism. The play of light on the moor to the left and in the foreground also helps to create a pointed perspective.This is a typical turn-of-the-century fishing scene in Brittany, both in terms of the types of boats depicted and the fishermens clothing. The artist must have painted it on the spot, as it exudes great vivacity and very precise detail, particularly on the boats.The painting is in its original frame, with a copper plate bearing the artists name and the title of the painting in old French ‘Pescheurs breton’.Size Without frame : 63x75 cmWith frame : 74x86 cm Width: 86cm, Height: 74cm, Depth: 5cm, Weight: 1kg, Condition: Condition of use, Material: Oil, ID: 12414

Still Life With Porcelain And Black Grapes Signed By Artist Sie G, 1997
sia antion, riga, latvia
This painting is exceptional in both technique and execution, and pays tribute to one of the great masters of the Dutch Golden Age, Willmen Kalf (1619-1993).The artist Sie G, usually known for his contemporary works in the style of hyperrealism, was inspired by the Dutch painters 1660 Still Life with Aquamanile, Fruit and Nautilus Cup (see last photo).His technical skill in this genre painting is breathtakingly precise, from the cracks in the enamel and the reflections on the porcelain, the ridged, pearly surface of the nautilus conch shell, the folds and texture of the Persian carpet, to the bloom on the black grape cluster, the peeled rind of the lemon and the shiny seeds of the pomegranate; everything is there to remind us of the fragility of the elements.Sie G has also added depth to this work, using a dark background against which a half-lit cassolette stands out in the background, and making use of the light coming from the left to reflect on the elements of this composition.This painting is a true technical feat and a demonstration of the virtuosity of painter Sie G, a trained restorer who has worked with the most prestigious European museums and knows how to handle the old skills of the great masters. The painting is signed in the lower left-hand corner with the artists pseudonym Sie G, and on the back he has inscribed the title of the painting and signed it with his real name Gerasimov.The genre of the still life, inherited from Dutch painting in the 16th and 17th centuries, endures to this day, expressing an aesthetic quest as well as a spiritual or moral reflection that continues to move and enthrall lovers and collectors of ancient and contemporary art.DimensionsWith frameHeight 110 cmWidth 90 cmWithout frameHeight 90 cmWidth 70 cm Width: 90cm, Height: 109cm, Depth: 5cm, Weight: 1kg, Condition: Condition of use, Material: Oil, ID: 12394

Court hunting scene, Flemish school of the late 17th century, Oil on canvas
sia antion, riga, latvia
This richly narrated painting probably takes us back to a hunting scene at court in the late 17th or early 18th century.In the left foreground, two men on horseback are engaged in a lively conversation, while in the distance, behind them, we see a town with prominent bell towers, typical of the Flemish School of this period.On the right, we can also make out several successive shots: what appears to be a dead tree in the foreground, then a dog, then a man who seems to be gutting game, followed by another who is skinning a beast on the ground near a tent on the right, and finally the crowd of gathered soldiers in the background. In the very last shot, we can make out a large rocky massif lost in the sky and clouds.This painting offers a fascinatingly detailed composition, featuring hunters, their horses and a dense, animated landscape. The many characters in action around a wilderness camp add dynamism and depth to the overall picture. Indeed, the succession of shots is remarkable, with elements that follow one another and give real depth to this medium-format painting.The precision of the brushstrokes, almost sketches, and the intensity of the chiaroscuro effects testify to rigorous graphic preparation and a refined, elaborate pictorial approach.In this painting, a remarkable ability to assimilate the heritage of the Flemish tradition is immediately apparent, perceptible through the chromatic palette deployed and a clear predilection for drawing.The latter highlights both the richness of detail and the methodical, rational organization of each figure or object depicted.The painting has been carefully framed by DELF, a company renowned for its expertise.

Portrait of an officer, signed Willem Geets, oil on canvas, 1867, 19th century
sia antion, riga, latvia
Portrait of a high-ranking officer with arms crossed over his chest and three-quarter view in detailed military garb: fringed silk epaulets, gold buttons, red cuffs. The attention to detail is very meticulous indeed, with each element treated with great realism, particularly the work on the hands, epaulets and eyes.The portrait is painted on an oval stretcher, framed on a red velvet background in a rectangular gilded wood frame.The military portrait is a particular genre that appeared in the 16th century and developed in the 18th and 19th centuries. This type of representation combines portrait and history painting.The portrait is a genre that has been around since Antiquity, and an attribute of power for great men, the aim being to show the power of the commissioner as well as his personality.The portrait painter most often creates a commissioned work, depicting the notable in all his glory.At first, portrait paintings celebrated the powerful, but as time went on, the bourgeoisie began to embrace this art form and were regularly portrayed.Willem Geets (1838-1919) was an artist born and died in Mechelen, Belgium.A student at the Académie de Malines and the Académie dAnvers, he continued his studies, notably with Nicaise De Keyser.He was appointed director of the Académie de Malines. In 1877, he won a medal in Ghent and in 1893, an honorable mention in Paris.In addition to his paintings, Geets produced tapestry cartoons for the Braquenié manufactory, including those for the Guilds tapestries in the Gothic Hall of the Brussels City Hall (these cartoons, for which members of the Braquenié family posed, are exhibited in the Great Hall of the Brussels Museum of Art and History) and those for the Senate tapestries in Brussels.Oval canvas dimension :Height 76 cmWidht 59 cmDepth 4 cm Width: 107cm, Height: 117cm, Depth: 9cm, Weight: 1kg, Condition: Condition of use, Material: Oil, ID: 12366

Sybille with turban and fruit bowl, Oil on canvas, 19th century
sia antion, riga, latvia
This sensual painting depicts a silk-turbaned Sybille carrying a bowl of fruit (peaches and grapes) and richly dressed in a light white linen chemise, a luxurious fuchsia-pink tunic and a royal-blue cape. She is adorned with gold jewels and precious stones.In a way, its fair to say that this richness contrasts with her ingenuous, gentle gaze: her radiant youth is as unsettling as her frontal, piercing gaze. Her graceful, serene face contributes to the paintings peaceful aspect.This painting is attributed to an artist who admired the Dominiquin and the Guerchin. Indeed, the two Italian painters produced numerous versions of these women, whose silk turbans adorned with gold and precious stones were a reminder of their oriental origins, and who were destined to prophesy the coming of Christ. We can also see a fantasy portrait of a woman in which the painter demonstrates his mastery of chiaroscuro, with contrasts softened by his knowledge of Venetian painting.Painting without frame:Width 90 cm x height 102 cm Width: 90cm, Height: 102cm, Depth: 6cm, Weight: 1kg, Condition: Condition of use, Material: Oil, ID: 12363

The ground is strewn with grapes, peaches and a pumpkin, symbolizing fertility and abundance.In the background, a décor of ancient ruins unfolds, with classical architectural elements lending an enigmatic atmosphere to this work.Finally, in the last shot, a wooded landscape with cypress trees reminiscent of Tuscany and a mountain in the distance. Above this luxuriant scene, a blue sky dotted with clouds ranging from grey to golden unfolds and illuminates the entire scene.Stylistically, this painting is in line with certain Italian still lifes of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. It probably comes from the workshop of an Italian master who understood the appeal of Dutch and Flemish works such as those by the artist Gaspar Pieter Verbruggen Le Jeune (1664-1730). One of these masters was Orsola Maddalena Caccia (1596-1676), considered a pioneer of still-life painting in Italy.In its pictorial style and choice of subject, the painting is also reminiscent of the works of Neapolitan painter Gasparo Lopez dei Fiori, who distinguished himself by his often redundant compositions of flowers, most often placed outdoors, in elaborate contexts rich in naturalistic and architectural elements.This majestic painting comes from the private collection of a renowned family, and was displayed in one of the familys villas in Cannes on the Côte dAzur in France.The painting is presented in a 19th-century gilded wooden frame, a fitting piece to adorn large walls: a classic, elegant setting that we never tire of admiring.Dimensions of unframed canvas :Height : 123 cmWidth : 187 cm Width: 205cm, Height: 140cm, Depth: 6cm, Weight: 1kg, Condition: Condition of use, Material: Oil, ID: 12346
