Rudolf Alfred Hoger
Huge 19th century painting - Musical picnic - Elegant Group in a landscape

About the Item

Romantic painting depicting a peaceful get-together in a park by Rudolf Alfred Höger The elegantly dressed people are indulging in a delicious "al fresco" picnic on green hill on a sunny summer day, enjoying the pleasures of friendship and song. The painting has a wonderfully peaceful and joyful atmosphere. Rudolf Alfred Höger (12 February 1877 – 7 November 1930) was an Austrian genre painter born in Proßnitz, Moravia. Among his notable works are scenes like "The Concert at Court," depicting rococo settings, and "Happy Round of Singers with a Danube Landscape," reflecting a longing for bygone eras. He often painted historical or everyday scenes from periods outside his own experience, as seen in "Music at Home" and "In May." Additionally, he depicted contemporary life around the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, as evident in works like "At the Heuriger in Grinzing" and "Fruit Market in Venice." Höger's repertoire also included landscapes and biblical themes such as "Susanna and the Two Elders." Signed lower right. Measurements: Oil on canvas measuring ca. 81 by 129 cms and with the frame ca. 102 by 149 cms. Provenance: Private collection France Literature on the artist: Heinrich Fuchs, Die österreichischen Maler des 19. Jahrhunderts, Wien 1973, volume 2, page K 66.

  • Large 17th century religious family painting - Mary with Christ and Anna
    Located in Antwerp, BE
    17th century Old Master painting depicting the Infant Christ with Mary and St. Anne attributed to Nicolas de Liemaker The artist of the present work wonderfully captured the loving gaze of Maria, looking in awe at her child. One can sense the tenderness and love in her eyes. The eyes of Christ appears to be filled with wisdom and love and a finely painted aura crowns his and his mother's heads. St. Anne, Mary's mother, gently holds the infant whilst gazing adoringly at him. The painting is not only a beautiful depiction of Christ and his mother and grandmother, but also a sweet image of the tender bond between a mother's and their children. The vibrant and soft colours of the fabric create a soft cocoon around the figures and seem to further emphasis the beauty and importance of the depicted scenery and its protagonists. Nicolaas de Liemaecker (also spelled as Liemaker or Liemackere) was a Flemish painter born in Ghent in 1601. He was also known under the name Nicolaas Roose. His father was Jacobus de Liemaecker, a painter upon glass. Nicolaas is reported to have been trained by his father and Gaspard de Crayer II (1), an apprenticeship with Otto Van Veen has also been suggested. In 1624 he worked at the Court of the Bishop of Paderborn and for Ferdinand of Bavaria. He later returned to his native city, where he focused on religious and historical paintings. He was a very accomplished and celebrated artist who attained a high rank in his profession. He witnessed the baptisms of Pieter and Janne-Marie Van Hulle...

  • 17th century Flemish Italian Old Master - The baptism of Christ - Religious
    Located in Antwerp, BE
    17th century Flemish old Master painting The present painting is truly a little jewel with its vibrant colours and skilful brushwork. It depicts the Baptism of Christ, a depiction of a tale filled with hope and positivity, it is a very fine example of Malo's talent. We would like to thank Anna Orlando for her assistance in cataloguing this painting. A copy of her entry on this painting will be given to the buyer. She writes about the present painting: The painting illustrated here, unpublished, refers to Vincenzo (Vincent) Malò, a Flemish artist active in Italy and in particular in Genoa in the first half of the seventeenth century, by now well known. The critics who started studying him in the sixties of the last century recognized the initial confusion of our painter with Vincenzo Alemanno (1595-1675); many documents subsequently traced both in the Genoese and Roman archives have partially specified his biographical details, but certainly his identity. Son of a certain Nicola, Vincent trained in Antwerp with David Teniers the Elder and then with Rubens, he was intermittently enrolled in the painters' guild, between 1623 and 1634. It is unlikely that he first arrived in Genoa in 1625 , when the city was at war against the Savoys, and it is entirely probable that his stay in Italy fell between 1634 and the year of his death, documented in Rome in 1644. It were about ten fertile years, also thanks to the lessons from Rubens who had taught him to paint speedily...
