17th Century Neapolitan School After Charles Lebrun, The Family of Darius Before Alexander.
sia antion, riga, latvia
17th Century Neapolitan School after Charles Lebrun, The Family of Darius Before Alexander. Circle of Luca Giordano (1634; 1705). Relined canvas measuring 92 cm by 63 cm Frame measuring 104 cm by 76 cm This beautiful painting depicts the queens of Persia at the feet of Alexander the Great, shortly after his victory at Issus in 333. Accompanied by his faithful Hephaestion, Alexander visits the queen who is carrying her son Ochus in her arms. The queen begs for clemency for her family. The original painting by Charles Lebrun, which can be admired at Versailles, was probably painted around 1661 at the beginning of Louis XIV&39;s personal government. It also marks the beginning of the painter&39;s career as painter to the king. Charles Le Brun lived in Fontainebleau, close to the king, and Louis XIV "would come to see him at unexpected moments when he held the brush in his hand," as Claude Nivelon, disciple and first biographer of Charles Le Brun, explains. The scene is inspired by a sequence from Plutarch&39;s Lives of Illustrious Men, a passage from Quintus Curtius, but also by contemporary plays centered on the Macedonian hero: Claude Boyer in 1648 (Porus or the Generosity of Alexander), Morel in 1658 (Timoclée or the Generosity of Alexander, a tragicomedy), already emphasized the greatness of soul of the conqueror of Darius. Today, it is one of the most famous works of French painting, it opened from its creation, a new era of this Art in our country. Engraved by Gérard Edelinck the Elder (1640; 1707), it was widely and quickly distributed throughout Europe, allowing local artists to take up the subject in their own way. Thus, our painting is a work of the Naples school of the last quarter of the 17th century in the circle of Luca Giordano (1634; 1705).

Dutch School of the Late 18th Century After a Work by Jan Davidsz De Heem
sia antion, riga, latvia
Dutch School of the late 18th century after a work by Jan Davidsz de Heem. Canvas 100 cm by 74 cm Frame 113 cm by 87.5 Our beautifully crafted painting is based on a painting by Jan Davidsz de Heem (collection of the Prado Museum in Madrid under reference P002090) with variations. Rich objects surrounded by fruit and oysters are placed on a table partially covered with a blue velvet tablecloth. Among the objects to note are a pocket watch and a very beautiful upturned silver cup. The scene shows us open oysters, a half-peeled orange, an upturned cup, half-empty glasses, and an open watch, all signs of a message of vanity in the riches of life. Jan Davidsz de Heem (1606, 1683) De Heem was born in Utrecht as Johannes van Antwerpen. He first studied with his father David de Heem the Elder (1570-1631), then with Balthasar van der Ast. He lived in Leiden from 1625 to 1629, where he studied in 1629 with David Bailly (1584, 1657). He moved to the southern Netherlands and joined the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke around 1635 and became a burgess of that city in 1637. However, he was often absent, as evidenced by the fees he had to pay for this. His remarkable talent earned him a considerable reputation. He could hardly keep up with the demand. De Heem was considered one of the greatest painters of his time. He was well paid, and a portrait of Prince William III surrounded by a cartouche of flowers and fruit was sold for 2,000 guilders, one of the highest prices ever paid for a painting during the Dutch Golden Age. His sons worked with him in his studio on commissions for new paintings. He retouched their works and added his signature to the pictures. He remained in Antwerp until 1667, when he returned to Utrecht, where records show his presence from 1668 to 1671. He left Utrecht in 1671 as French troops approached the city. It is not known when he finally returned to Antwerp, but his death there is recorded in the guild books. Van Heem married twice, first to Alette van Weede, with whom he had three surviving children at his death in 1643, one of whom, Cornelis, would become a still-life painter. He married a second time in 1644 to Anna Catherina Ruckers with whom he had six more children, including Jan, who also became a still life painter. Besides his two sons, he had several apprentices: Michiel Verstylen, Alexander Coosemans, Thomas de Klerck, Lenaert Rougghe, Theodor Aenvanck, Andries Benedetti, Elias van den Broeck, Jacob Marrel, Hendrik Schoock, and Abraham Mignon.

Philippe Mercier (1689-1760) Attributed. School of Antoine Watteau. Gallant Scene.
sia antion, riga, latvia
Philippe Mercier (1689-1760) attributed. School of Antoine Watteau. Gallant Scene. Relined canvas measuring 81 cm by 54 cm Frame measuring 97 cm by 70 cm The artist presents us with a gallant scene. During a game of Blind Man&39;s Buff, a young man declares his love to a young lady, a Cupid encourages him in this direction. On the right, another young woman with a small dog at her feet seeking her attention. In the background, a very beautiful landscape delicately created in a soft blue atmosphere. Our painting is attributed to Philippe Mercier who, without being a student of Antoine Watteau (he didn&39;t really have one), painted many paintings in the style of Watteau (there are many painters who did it, including Nicolas Lancret, Jean-Baptiste Pater, Pierre Antoine Quillard, Michel Barthélémy Ollivier, Bonaventure de Bar, etc.). Alongside his paintings according to Watteau, he also painted scenes more in the taste of English painting, particularly in the way of painting faces. Philippe Mercier (1689-1760) Philippe Mercier can hardly be considered a French painter. Born in Berlin into a family of French Huguenots, he trained there with Antoine Pesne, who, French by birth, himself spent almost his entire career in Germany. He made a trip to Italy, probably passed through France and settled in London around 1716 and spent the rest of his life there. It is said that he met Watteau during the latter&39;s stay in the English capital around 1720. In any case, Watteau&39;s influence was decisive for Mercier; he became his successor, without strictly speaking being his pupil, and some of Mercier&39;s works could be considered Watteau works: witness The Conjurer in the Louvre, which comes from the La Caze collection, where he bore an attribution to Watteau. In fact, whether in his portraits or in his genre scenes, Mercier accentuates the puppet-like character of Watteau&39;s characters and his art is not unrelated to that of Pietro Longhi, if not even to Hogarth in its somewhat caricatured side. Mercier is poorly represented in French museums; it is in London that one must study him, at the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery. His first conversation pieces, or group portraits, so appreciated by British amateurs, date from 1725-26. He then achieved rapid success and in 1729 became Principal Painter to the Prince of Wales, Frederick, one of the propagators of Rococo in England. He then worked for the royal family (The Prince of Wales and his Sisters, 1733, London, NPG) but lost the favor of the Court in 1736. He then settled in York (1739-1751) and survived without difficulty thanks to his portraits (The Burton Family or Interior Scene with the Squirrel, Paris, Louvre) and his gallant, rural or familiar scenes (The Five Senses, United States, Mellon collection; The Music Session, London, Tate Gal.; The Seamstress, id.; The Young Taster, Paris, Louvre). His works show a direct influence of Watteau (The Conjurer, Paris, Louvre). But they retain a very British character. After a short stay in Portugal (1752), Mercier returned to live in London. It is representative of the numerous Franco-English artistic contacts in the first half of the 18th century.

Giacomo Francesco Cipper (1664-1736) attributed. Portrait of a Painter. Self-portrait?
sia antion, riga, latvia
Giacomo Francesco Cipper (1664-1736) Portrait of a Painter. Self-portrait? Relined canvas measuring 72 cm by 57 cm Antique 17th century frame measuring 87 cm by 72 cm This surprising painting is attributed to Giacomo Francesco Cipper, it depicts a painter smoking a pipe, holding a brush against his chest with his right arm. At the bottom of the composition is his palette and other brushes. The painter (self-portrait?) is dressed in rags, he smiles ostentatiously. This painting is actually not so surprising when you look at the output of this artist. He produced many portraits of common people, always poorly dressed, often with holes in the fabric but with a big smile on his face. Giacomo Francesco Cipper (1664-1736) Giacomo Francesco Cipper, known as "Il Todeschini" (literally the little German), (born around 1664 in Feldkirch, Vorarlberg, then in the Holy Roman Empire, and died on 17 October 1736 in Milan), was an Italian painter of Austrian origin. Giacomo Francesco Cipper was baptized on 15 July 1664 in Feldkirch, under the name Franz Jakob Zippeis. His father, Hans Caspar Zipper, came from a wealthy family in Feldkirch and worked in various professions during his life: after having assumed responsibility for an export trading post on behalf of Feldkirch merchants, he ran a private school in Brunnenfeld and, in 1678, became a cattle dealer and then a butcher. Cipper&39;s mother, Eva Rudolfin, from Bludenz, died in 1673, when Giacomo Francesco was not yet nine years old. There is no evidence to indicate where or how his apprenticeship took place. Pigler mentions the name of a Viennese painter, Jacob Zieper. Giacomo Francesco Cipper&39;s presence in Milan is, however, attested from 1696. He was then about thirty years old and lived in the Casa Carcani, in the parish of San Vito al Pasquirolo. He married Giulia Francesca, daughter of the notary Carlo Federico Galdone. From their marriage, ten children were born. Giulia Francesca died in 1735, Giacomo Francesco Cipper on October 17, 1736. He is buried in the Basilica of Saint Stephen the Great.

Jeanne-Philiberte Ledoux (1767-1840) Portrait of a young girl with a bonnet Canvas measuring 46 cm by 38 cm Beautiful old frame measuring 62 cm by 52 cm Jeanne-Philiberte Ledoux (1767-1840) She drew from the teachings of her Master, Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725-1805), the secrets of charm and delicacy which permeate the numerous portraits, almost always of young girls, which she sent to the Salon from 1793 to 1819. But she also belongs entirely to the 19th century and as such, her work evolves with the times. The 18th century sentimentality soon gives way to a greater vigor of touches and more contrasting tones, our portrait is a perfect example. His works have been highly sought after and are featured in numerous public and private collections.
