Hello and a warm welcome, thank you so much for seeking us out. While I have a moment of your time, I will tell you a snippet of who and what Galleriedesart is all about. We are based in the Hampshire countryside, and while predominantly an online gallery, we are always happy to welcome customers to the gallery/studio by appointment to view works first hand. As a private collector, I have acquired artwork for my own enjoyment for many years, most times 18th/19th Century portraiture but also impressionism and post impressionism works together with genre paintings which I find hugely fascinating. There is really something truly wonderful within the simplicity of the ‘everyday’ so for me perhaps a simple domestic scene, the kitchen maid, the nursery, gathering in the harvest, or a character lost in thought amidst a moment of solitude is enough. They all have the capability to captivate and were all owned by someone else before who equally found them enchanting, so in essence that is why I chose to create Galleriedesart, to unearth wonderful examples of all and any art classification and to bring those works to the open market for you to own and in doing so become part of their history. We try to ensure a high standard of photography to enable a fair representation, but please email us for a more detailed description so as to make an informed choice. Thank you for your visit today, which is very much appreciated.
