Salvador Murillo
Salvador Murillo "Solitary Figure on a Road" - Framed Antique Landscape Painting

1878

About the Item

I actually prefer this painting to the very slightly larger one by Murillo that sold for $11,600 at auction (Hargesheimer & Günther) in 2009. Another couple of paintings sold at auction (see my photo of these auction records), also a bit larger, went quite high as well - one of them to almost $25,000, and this was a wholesale (auction) price. This painting is oil on a wood panel, and is sharp, bold and detailed. I love the contrasts between light and dark. If you look closely, there is a solitary figure standing in a thin spray of light coming through the forest on the right size of the meandering river. Murillo was born in Durango, Mexico in 1840 and influenced other Mexican artists with his masterful grasp of European techniques. You can find a Wikipedia entry on him (in Spanish) online. 19" x 25" (9" x 15.5" panel only). Wonderful frame. Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art, New Orleans, with our firm guarantee of satisfaction.

  • "Sunrise on the Marsh" - Framed 19th Century Antique Landscape Painting
    Located in New Orleans, LA
    I wish I could figure out who this super-talented artist of the 1800's "Mort R.", was. He painted this gorgeous swamp scene in 1872, but his signature did not include his last name and so we don't know who he was! At any rate, if you have ever visited Louisiana, or the Carolina coast, or even parts of Texas, you will understand how beautifully the artist has captured the special light coming up over a swamp early in the morning. A pirogue has been pulled up at the edge of a small island. The sun is just peeking over the horizon, gently shedding its subtle light. Comes in an exquisite gilt and plaster 19th...

This one is no exception.; His paintings remind me of the old movie, “Shangri-La,” where the travelers found a magical place while crossing the Himalayas. The Reverend’s paintings have that kind of magic in them; perhaps it’s his rich color palette or his slightly provincial, yet very Georgian style. It seems there are always pretty skies along with mountains in the background and rivers or lochs somewhere in his compositions. In any case, the result is still pure magic.; This is an accomplished yet charming painting by an artist thought to be actively painting from around 1810 to 1850 and specializing in the stunning scenery of England’s Lake District. Unfortunately, little is known about Reverend Brown’s personal life, and he did not sign most of his works. I have handled several of his paintings in the course of my career and he always has been among my favorite artists.; This gorgeous landscape delivers all of Reverend Woodley-Brown’s quintessential style, color and romantic feel for which his work is admired. His figures, though seemingly entranced themselves by the beauty around them, are there primarily to give scale and a focal point. The trees are in deep, rich greens, while the pink-tinged sky further show off his talent in the realm of color. We are immediately pulled into the artist’s world. The serenity of the scene, as in all of his works, is overwhelming, making the viewer a willing partner in the artist’s interpretation of it. The very Woodley-Brownish romantic folly only adds to the scene’s charm.; In the world of Reverend Brown, his cottages often became follies shrouded in greenery. The background mountains rose...
