About the Item
Edward Anton Portielje (1861-1949) was born in Antwerp in 1861, son of the artist Jan Frederik Portielje. Edward Portielje was a pupil at the Atheneum in Antwerp, as well as the prestigious Antwerp Academy (Ecole des Beaux-Arts), where he studied under Polydore Beau Faux (1829-1905) and Charles Verlat (1824-1890), whose tutelage he shared with Van Gogh. A highly regarded artist, Portielje was asked to paint the murals for the Exposition Universelle in Ghent, and also produced artwork for the 1894 Antwerp World’s Fair. Portielje had a gift for painting light; hence his works convey a sense of warmth and conviviality to the viewer. At a time when many of his contemporaries were experimenting with new ideas and styles, chiefly Impressionism, Portielje carried the banner of tradition in his subject matter and his techniques (e.g. warm tones, refined execution). His exhibitions include: Rotterdam, 1885 & 1888 (Living Masters); The Hague, 1887 (Living Masters); Salle Verlat, 1893 (with his father and his brother, Gerard); The 1894 World’s Fair, and Salle Wines in Antwerp, 1927 & 1928 (again with his brother). His contributions to Belgian Artistry earned him the esteemed honor of Knighthood from the state. Portielje’s work can be found in museums in Antwerp, Chicago and Sydney.

Edward Antoon Portielje
Edward Antoon Portielje, the son of the Dutch artist Jan Frederik Pieter Portielje, primarily a portrait painter, was born on February 8th, 1861, in Antwerp. Edward’s brother, Geerard Jozef, was also an artist in the family tradition. He undertook artistic training at École des Beaux-Arts in Antwerp, studying under Charles Verlat, who also taught Van Gogh during the early 1880s. Portielje’s contributions to Belgian painting earned him the respected honor of knighthood from the state. He died on December 18th, 1949 in Antwerp. Portielje’s intimate interior scenes, in the artistic lineage of Belgian painter Jean-Baptiste Madou and the most recognizable of Portielje’s image for modern-day audiences, offer light-hearted reflections of leisure time rendered in warm tones that give his images such immensely appealing qualities. His reliance on local exhibitions shows his patriotism to the creation and advancement of typically Belgian art, in both theme and mood.

- 'Attilla' A Chestnut Horse in a StableBy John Frederick Herring Sr.Located in St. Albans, GBCanvas Size: 28 x 36" (71 x 91cm) Outside Frame Size 36 x 44" (91 x 111cm) It is signed on the middle right on the wooden window. This is a stunning painting of a racehorse signed and dated J F Herring Sen 1842. The horse is named above the water trough as Attilla. As Herring was a renowned painter of racehorses it is likely that this was done for a wealthy patron who owned several. Although he painted many of the winners of the St. Ledger Cup Attilla was not one of these. Free carriage worldwide John Frederick HERRING Snr 1795 – 1865 A sporting painter, born in Surrey of American/Dutch extraction. At first he was a sign and coach painter. He then worked as a stable boy and coachman in Yorkshire until with the help of patrons he was able to study with Abraham Cooper RA, the only art education he appears to have had. He specialised in racing subjects and his few hunting scenes are rare. Herring painted the start of the 1844 Derby, which became known as ‘the dirtiest Derby in history’. He sometimes collaborated with his three sons, J.F.Jnr, Benjamin Jnr and Charles. He also collaborated with James Pollard on a number of racing scenes inc. ‘The Doncaster Gold Cup’, 1838, ‘The Emperor of Russia’s Cup at Ascot’ 1845 and ‘The Dead Heat for the Doncaster Great St. Ledger’ 1849 Herring painted 33 successive winners of the St. Ledger and not surprisingly lived a large part of his life in the Doncaster area before settling in Newmarket in 1830 and then in London in 1835. He suffered serious financial difficulties after his move to London which, thanks to a great friend and patron William Taylor Copeland (1797 – 1868) head of the Spode Porcelain factory at Stoke on Trent, was resolved. He painted many pictures of the Copeland family, some of which were adapted and used as designs on the Spode china...Category
