About the Item
Oil on panel
Comes with a certificate by dr. Jan De Maere
"In my opinion they are early works, inspired by the river views of Jan Griffier the Elder, the italianate coulisses by Dirck Both and the staffage by Jan Breughel the Elder and his follower Pieter Bout; Orient was one of the first painters at the beginning of the 18th century to revive the Flemish-Dutch landcsape tradition in Vienna, as other artists did in Prague. The style, the fine execution and the combination of these three elements and the mention of his mother’s family name in the signature, allow to place this two fine small landscapes in the early part of Orient’s career" - Prof. dr. Jan de Maere
Orient Joseph, (born April 24, 1677 Purbach, Burgenland), † March 17, 1747 Schottenfeld, in his own house "Zur goldenen Sonne" (Bandgasse 41, Wien), was an Austro-Hungarian landscape painter.
In 1703 in St. Ulrich, he married Anna Margarete Wolkas (* bef. 1688 Sieggraben. He was the son of the carpenter Martin Orient (* 1640, † before July 10, 1680) and his wife Ursula Vriendt. He studied in Vienna with Anton Faistenberger, a painter of ideal landscapes cappriccios. But Orient soon turned away from his master’s style. Having established his own studio, he was attracted to the Dutch and Flemisch landscapes of the 17th century, especially these of Jan Breughel the Elder and Pieter Bout for the staffage, for the landscape settings the italianate coulisses by Jan Both and the wide Rhine river views by Jan I. Griffier (1645-1718). He liked to use the concave mirror for the composition of his, mostly small, paintings. This created a grand space between the foreground staffage and the background view. The air is mostly clear. He had great skill in expressing the difference between seasons and the times of day, sunny or cloudy atmospheres.In his later paintings, the staffage (figures) mostly done by Janneck, Canton or Ferg, In the 1641, the Vienna Academy accepted him in as an associate member. In 1733, Orient spent some time in Saxony and Frankfurt/Main. Orient's students included Franz Christoph Janneck and Franz Josef de Paula Ferg, Johann Gabriel Canton, Johann Franz Nepomuk Lauterer and Johann Christoph Thurner. His landscapes are very well drawn and meticulously painted in cool colors. Later, Orient also included realistic vedutes (for example: the Klosterneuburg Abbey) in his work. Rösel engraved a sheet with forest and game after Orient, Janneck painted his portrait. Orient was important for the genesis of Viennese landscape painting before Johann Christian Brand.

- Moses and the Pillar of Cloud by Lucas Cranach the Elder and StudioBy Lucas Cranach the ElderLocated in New Orleans, LALucas Cranach the Elder and Studio 1472-1553 German Moses and the Pillar of Cloud Oil on panel Moses and the Pillar of Cloud is a bold and evocative composition that showcases the signature intense color and intricate detail of Lucas Cranach the Elder’s celebrated oeuvre. The remarkable 16th-century oil on panel by Lucas Cranach and his studio captures the narrative moment when Moses leads the Israelites out of Egypt and encounters God manifested through a large pillar of cloud. Moses stands at the precipice of a bridge and turns back to soldiers helping to lead the group of Israelites who huddle closely together. Cranach depicts Moses with his traditional iconography, rendering the rays of light on his head which came to be interpreted as "horns" in the translation of the Bible. Using his traditional walking staff, Moses gestures toward the pillar, seemingly acknowledging that God will protect the group as they cross the bridge to the other side, leaving exile and entering a promised land. In a nod to Cranach’s Germanic locale, he renders the figures and setting in a manner that feels decisively more akin to European aesthetics than those of the Red Sea. Soldiers wear elaborate, gothic suits of armor that recall the livery of Northern European guardsmen. The terrain appears more like a European forest giving way to a sweeping valley than the arid landscape the Israelites trekked through on their journey across the Red Sea. Though still clearly recounting a story from the Old Testament, Cranach renders the cast of characters and setting in an earthly, familiar manner. This aesthetic shift speaks to Cranach’s own changing beliefs as he found himself at the center of the Protestant Reformation. After first gaining recognition in 1505 as the official painter of Frederick the Wise, Cranach established a thriving painting and print studio in Wittenberg, Germany. Cranach was renowned for his court portraits and genre paintings and was also well known for his association with the famous protestant reformer Martin Luther, then under the protection of Frederick the Wise. As Wittenberg became a bastion of new religious thought, Cranach soon befriended Luther and played an active role in creating the printed materials that proliferated throughout the Reformation...Category

- Antique English 19th century marine sceneBy William AndersonLocated in Woodbury, CTOutstanding English late 18th / early 19th century marine scene by one of Britain's best known and sought after painters. William (or Wiliam) Anderson (1757 – 27 May 1837) was a Scottish artist specializing in maritime and patriotic themes. He was well-regarded for his detailed and accurate portraits of ships under sail, exhibiting his works annually in London between 1787 and 1811 and then occasionally until 1834. Anderson influenced other artists, notably John Ward and others of the Hull school. Anderson's early life is obscure, but he is known to have trained as a shipwright before moving to London to become a maritime painter when he was about 30. His training served him well as a painter, providing "a practical nautical knowledge" of his subjects. He earned a reputation for "accuracy and refinement of detail" and was admired for his bright, clear colours. He worked in both oils and watercolours. He based his style on that of well-known Dutch maritime...Category

- Dutch Fishing Vessels in Storm /// Francis Swaine Maritime Seascape Antique ShipBy Francis SwaineLocated in Saint Augustine, FLArtist: Francis Swaine (English, 1725-1782) Title: "Dutch Fishing Vessels in Storm" *No signature found Circa: 1770 Medium: Original Oil Painting on wood panel Framing: Framed in a Louis XV style gold moulding Framed size: 10.63" x 12.63" Panel size (irregular margins): 6" x 7.75" Condition: One small restored spot upper left. Cosmetic wear to frame. In otherwise very good condition Notes: Provenance: private collection - London, England; acquired from art dealer Ernest Alden, London, England retaining his original gallery label on verso. Metal plaque inscribed "F. Swaine 1740-1782", (active dates), attached to frame bottom center. Ernest William Alden (1866-1947) was recorded in successive censuses, in 1881 as a picture mounter (card maker), age 14, living at 9 Bloomsbury St, with several other members of his family also given as picture mounters, including his father, James; in 1891 as a picture frame mounter with his father and family at 208 Shaftesbury Avenue; in 1901 as a photographer and picture dealer at 39 King’s Road, Chelsea; and in 1911 again at 39 King’s Road but the census form is damaged. His listing in trade directories, initially as picture mount cutter, changed to picture framemaker from 1904, soon after he set up in the King’s Road. He advertised his large stock of second-hand swept and other frames, claiming to have been established in 1893 (The Year’s Art 1913). Alden died in Chelsea in 1947, leaving effects worth £5,011, with probate granted to his widow Lily Alden and to Marjorie Frances Alden. Two of his younger brothers, Henry Cyril Alden (1871-1939) and James Preston Alden (1876-1960), were also active as picture framemakers. - National Portrait Gallery, London, England. Biography: Francis Swaine (1725–1782) was a British marine painter. He was born in 1725, and christened on 7 October of that year at St Dunstan's, Stepney, London. His parents were named Francis Swaine and Ann Joel. In 1735 the elder Francis Swaine, the marine painter's father, applied in writing to the Commissioners of His Majesty's Navy for employment as a Navy Messenger, in succession to Mr William Wyatt. He mentions that he had served "upwards of twenty eight years" in the Navy, and that his father had died Purser of the Royal Katherine. He mentions also that he had carried out "little labours in drawing", and that he at that time had five small children. The first-born of these children was the Francis Swaine who became the marine painter. The elder Swaine was duly employed as a Navy Messenger. He served for 20 years and died on 10 October 1755, aged 64. Swaine is said to have been influenced by the style of Van de Velde. There is no clear evidence of this alleged influence. The suggestion that Swaine may have been a pupil of Charles Brooking...Category
