George Lambert 18th Century Bucolic Landscape View Painting Oil on Canvas

About the Item

George Lambert (1700 - 1765) Bucolic landscape with characters Measures: Oil on canvas, 50 x 74 cm Frame 59 x 84 cm George Lambert with Richard Wilson is recognized as one of the greatest interpreters of English landscape painting. Lambert was born in Kent and studied art with Warner Hassells and John Wootton, soon drawing attention to the quality of his painting, which focuses on landscape production and genre scenes. Lambert also gained an excellent reputation as a production designer, initially working for Lincoln's Inn Fields Theater, in London, under John Rich. When Rich moved to the Covent Garden Theater, Lambert enlisted the assistance of Amiconi and together they achieved perfection in the creation of sets. Lambert was part of William Hogarth's circle and was a member of the society of young artists that met at the Old Slaughter's tavern on St Martin's Lane in London. In 1755 Lambert was part of the committee of artists which proposed the founding of a royal academy of the arts in London. He was a member of the Society of Artists of Great Britain, exhibited with them in 1761 and the following three years, and in the same period contributed to the Academy's exhibitions. In 1765 he and other members separated and formed the Incorporated Society of Artists of Great Britain, of which he was elected first president. Hogarth considered Lambert a rival of the famous French landscape painter Claude Lorrain (1600-1682), in particular with regard to the use of soft light to unify the scene. Although he has never visited Italy, he was inspired by the classical tradition of landscape painting, as can also be seen from the present painting depicting a bucolic idyll taken from the Virgilian tradition and from the genre that developed in Italy with the Grand Tour and the foreign painters who arrived. in the Peninsula. Examples of this kind can be seen in the Landscape preserved at Tate Britain in London, in the View of Dunton Hall (Sotheby's, 2005), the Landscape with Shepherds (Denver Art Museum), the Arcadia (Christie's, 2016), finally Diogenes at the Victoria & Albert Museum .

  • 18th Century Portraits of Women Couple of Paintings in Oil on Canvas by Bertoli
    Located in Milan, IT
    Antonio Bertoli (active between 1829 - 1842) Portraits of women (2) Oil on canvas, 41.5 x 31 cm With frame 52 x 42.5 cm Signed below A. Bertoli The two portraits examined here are by the hand of the artist Antonio Bertoli, a painter active in Florence between 1829 - 1842. He trained at the Florentine Academy, where in 1832 he obtained the prize for the nude in drawing. At the academic exhibitions of the following years he exhibited mainly portraits, including a representation of Nicolò Macchiavelli executed in 1837. An eclectic artist, he experimented with different genres: for the Villa Puccini di Scornio in Pistoia, in 1838, he was commissioned to create a history picture, The death of Francesco Ferrucci (Pistoia, Civic Museum), inspired by an episode of the novel Siege of Florence by Francesco Domenico Guerrazzi. Instead, two religious paintings date back to the 1840s: Christ chasing the merchants from the Temple and a Virgin Mary, In the portraits analyzed Bertoli depicts two half-length women taken from a foreshortening and a frontal in close pose, characterized by very similar Mediterranean features. In the first painting the woman, taken from the front, looks directly at the viewer. The wavy hair is decorated with a colorful violet and is partially covered by a white veil...

  • 17th Century Madonna with Child Painting Oil on Canvas Tuscan School
    Located in Milan, IT
    17th century, Tuscan school Madonna and Child Oil on canvas, 31 x 21 cm With frame, cm 37,5 x 27,5 The pearly incarnations and the thoughtful play of looks between the Virgin, turned to the Son, and Questi, warmly open to the viewer, pour out the present painting with compositional perfection. Virginal fabrics become mottled at the folds, wrapping the Madonna in a thin vitreous mantle. The pastel colors, shining on the pink robe just tightened at the waist by a gold cord, enliven the faces of the divine couple in correspondence of the cheeks, lit by an orange warmth. Even the left hand of the Virgin, composed in perfect classical pose (Botticelli, Madonna with Child, 1467, Musée du Petit Palais, Avignon), is sprinkled with warmth thanks to the immediate touch with Christ. From the nimbus of the Mother a delicate luminous disk is effused, which takes back, in the most distant rays, the colour of the hair of the Son, from the tones of the sun. The Child Jesus is represented intent in a tender gesture of invitation with the right hand, while with the other he offers a universal blessing: with his hand he retracts the index and annular palms, extending the remaining three fingers, symbol of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The painting welcomes and re-elaborates that typically Tuscan formalism that boasted in the rest of Italy the constant appreciation by the most up-to-date artists and collectors. Arrangement, composition and mixing of colors place the canvas in the middle between the changing mannerist and the sculptural figures of Michelangelo, essential yardstick of comparison in terms of anatomical and expressionistic rendering. In the present, silvery and pinkish powders act as three-dimensional inducers to the Child’s mentioned musculature and to the vivid folds of the clothes, expertly deposited on the lunar whiteness of the skins. While these colours recall the equally brilliantly transparent colours of Pier Francesco Foschi...
