John Linnell was an English engraver, and portrait and
landscape painter. He was a naturalist and a rival to the artist John
Constable. He had a taste for Northern European art of the Renaissance,
particularly Albrecht Dürer. He also associated with Edward Thomas Daniell, and
with William Blake, to whom he introduced the painter and writer Samuel Palmer
and others of the Ancients.
John Linnell was born in Bloomsbury, London on 16 June
1792., where his father was a carver and gilder. He was in contact with artists
from an early age, and by the age of ten was drawing and selling portraits in
chalk and pencil. His first art teacher was the American-born artist Benjamin
West, and he spent a year in the house of the painter John Varley, where
William Hunt and William Mulready were also pupils, and made the acquaintance
of Shelley, Godwin and others. In 1805 he was admitted to study at the Royal
Academy, where he obtained medals for drawing, modelling and sculpture. He was
trained as an engraver, and executed a transcript of Varley's "Burial of
Saul."
In 1808, the 16-year-old Linnell moved into the house of the
painter William Mulready, whose wife had accused him of infidelity with both
other women and boys. Linnell's association with Mulready may have caused the
breakup of Mulready's marriage.
In later life Linnell occupied himself with the burin,
publishing, in 1833, a series of outlines from Michelangelo's frescoes in the
Sistine Chapel, and, in 1840, superintending the issue of a selection of plates
from the pictures in Buckingham Palace, one of them, a Titian landscape, which
he engraved in mezzotint. At first he supported himself mainly by miniature
painting and execution of larger portraits, such as the likenesses of Mulready,
Richard Whately, Peel and Thomas Carlyle. Several of his portraits he engraved
in line and mezzotint.
He painted many subjects like the "St John
Preaching," the "Covenant of Abraham," and the "Journey to
Emmaus," in which, while the landscape is usually prominent the figures
are of sufficient importance to supply the title of the work. But it is mainly
in connexion with paintings of pure landscapes that his name is known. His
works commonly deal with some scene of typical uneventful English landscape,
which is made impressive by a gorgeous effect of sunrise or sunset. They are
full of true poetic feeling, and are rich and glowing in colour.
Linnell commanded large prices for his pictures, and about
1850 he purchased a property at Redhill, Surrey, where he lived till his death
on 20 January 1882, painting with unabated powers until within the last few
years of his life. He devoted himself to painting landscapes notably of the
North Downs and Kentish Weald. His leisure was occupied with a study of the
Bible in the original, and he published several pamphlets and treatises of
Biblical criticism. Linnell was one of the best friends and kindest patrons of
William Blake. He gave him the two largest commissions he received for single
series of designs—£150 for drawings and engravings of The Inventions to the
Book of Job, and a like sum for those illustrative of Dante Aligheri.
He was a friend of the painter Edward Thomas Daniell. A blue
plaque commemorates Linnell at Old Wyldes' at North End, Hampstead. The plaque
mentions that William Blake stayed with Linnell as his guest.

Beautiful, rare, quality seats French Regency period work.
In the arts, the style of the Régence is marked by early
Rococo, characterised by the paintings of Antoine Watteau (1684–1721).
Rococo developed first in the decorative arts and interior
design. Louis XIV's succession brought a change in the court artists and
general artistic fashion. By the end of the old king's reign, rich Baroque
designs were giving way to lighter elements with more curves and natural
patterns. These elements are obvious in the architectural designs of Nicolas
Pineau. During the Régence, court life moved away from Versailles and this
artistic change became well established, first in the royal palace and then throughout
French high society. The delicacy and playfulness of Rococo designs is often
seen as perfectly in tune with the excesses of Louis XV's regime.
The period represented the height of Rococo development in
France. The style had spread beyond architecture and furniture to painting and
sculpture, exemplified by the works of Watteau and François Boucher. Rococo
still maintained the Baroque taste for complex forms and intricate patterns,
but by this point, it had begun to integrate a variety of diverse
characteristics, including a taste for Oriental designs and asymmetric
compositions.

the stylistic periods of Régence (1715 – 1723) and Louis XV (1723 – 1774). These periods, which transition seamlessly
from one to the other, are characterized by their emphasis on curvaceous forms
and movements as well as an appreciation for vegetable motifs.
The death of
Louis XIV loosed the bonds of restraint that had wearied the whole nation. With this new sense of freedom, people sought
intimate personal comforts and informality in their physical surroundings.
This license
so freely employed under the new regime gave rise to a feverish yearning for
novelty. Asymmetry in the arts reached a
peak of expression never before seen and not to be revisited until over a
hundred years later during the Art Nouveau period at the beginning of the
twentieth century.
This age,
with a new interest in comfort and functional convenience resonates with modern
concerns today. For these reasons, as
well as others, the Regence and Louis XV periods are by far the most popular
among collectors today

Life-size Two Large Bronze Statues Riace Warriors Style Erectheus & Eumolpos . The Original Riace Warriors Dating back to 460-430 BC were discovered on the Calabrian coast in the year 1972,after they’ve been restored now they sit at the museum of Reggio Calabria.
It’s believed that when Rome conquered Greece, they stole
most of the important artistic patrimoine and they transported them back to
Rome.
They have been as the warriors Tydeus and Amphiaraus. But
the Very highly regarded historian and archaeologist Salvatore Setti identified
them as Erectheus the son of Athena and Eumolpos the son of Poseidon.
Over the years, we’ve seen small decorative cast statues
made by foundries in Italy as “Bibelot”.
The ones listed have
the approximate dimensions and details of the original Statues and by repute
from the earlier casting, that’s why they have all of the right details and
proportions. The casting would be around 1975-1985.
HISTORY: The Riace Warriors (also referred to as the Riace
bronzes or Bronzi di Riace) are two life-size Greek bronze statues of naked,
bearded warriors. The statues were discovered by Stefano Mariottini in the
Mediterranean Sea just off the coast of Riace Marina, Italy, on August 16,
1972. The statues are currently housed in the Museo Nazionale della Magna
Grecia in the Italian city of Reggio Calabria. The statues are commonly
referred to as “Statue A” and “Statue B” and were originally cast using the
lost-wax technique.
The Severe or Early Classical style describes the trends in
Greek sculpture between c. 490 and 450 B.C.E. Artistically this stylistic phase
represents a transition from the rather austere and static Archaic style of the
sixth century B.C.E. to the more idealized Classical style. The Severe style is
marked by an increased interest in the use of bronze as a medium as well as an
increase in the characterization of the sculpture, among other features.
The chronology of the Riace warriors has been a matter of
scholarly contention since their discovery. In essence there are two schools of
thought—one holds that the warriors are fifth century B.C.E. originals that
were created between 460 and 420 B.C.E., while another holds that the statues
were produced later and consciously imitate Early Classical sculpture. Those
that support the earlier chronology argue that Statue A is the earlier of the
two pieces. Those scholars also make a connection between the warriors and the
workshops of famous ancient sculptors. For instance, some scholars suggest that
the sculptor Myron crafted Statue A, while Alkamenes created Statue B.
Additionally, those who support the earlier chronology point to the Severe
Style as a clear indication of an Early Classical date for these two
masterpieces.
The art historian B. S. Ridgway presents a dissenting view,
contending that the statues should not be assigned to the fifth century B.C.E.,
arguing instead that they were most likely produced together after 100 B.C.E.
Ridgway feels that the statues indicate an interest in Early Classical
iconography during the Hellenistic period.
In terms of identifications, there has been speculation that
the two statues represent Tydeus (Statue A) and Amphiaraus (Statue B), two
warriors from Aeschylus’ tragic play, Seven Against Thebes (about Polyneices
after the fall of his father, King Oedipus), and may have been part of a
monumental sculptural composition. A group from Argos described by Pausanias
(the Greek traveler and writer) is often cited in connection to this

During the reign of Jerome Bonaparte in Westphalia a French
architect and pupil of Percier, Grandjean de Montigny, re-furnished the castle
of Kassel and the Palace known as Wilhelmshöhe , then temporarily known as
Napoleonshöhe. Some of the furniture for these magnificent rooms was
commissioned from Jacob-Desmalter.
Jacob-Desmalter was the son of Georges Jacob and was
Christened François-Honoré-Georges Jacob-Desmalter (1770–1841). He took the
name Desmalter from a family property. He received the best training possible
in his father’s workshop, which he took over on his father’s retirement and ran
until 1835.
Queen consort Katharina of Württemberg ( Princess Friederike
Katharina Sophie Dorothea) was Queen consort of
Westphalia by marriage to Jérôme Bonaparte “Napoleon's younger brother” , who
reigned as King of Westphalia between 1807 and 1813.
Katharina was born in Saint Petersburg, Russian Empire, to
the later King Frederick I of Württemberg and his first wife, Duchess Augusta
of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. Her mother, who died when Katharina was five years
old, was a sister of Caroline of Brunswick and a niece of King George III of
the United Kingdom. After the death of Katharina's mother, her father married
Charlotte, Princess Royal, eldest
daughter of George III and thus a first cousin of his first wife.
In 1803, Württemberg entered into an alliance with France
under Emperor Napoleon I, and one of the terms of the treaty was the marriage
of Katharina with Jérôme Bonaparte, Napoleon's younger brother. The wedding was
held four years later, on 22 August 1807, at the Royal Palace of Fontainebleau
in France.
Upon marriage, Katharina became Queen consort of the Kingdom
of Westphalia. Reportedly, Katharina and Jérôme bonded strongly and had a happy
marriage, remaining firmly attached to each other.
When the kingdom of Westphalia was dissolved in 1813, she
followed Jerome to France. During the war, she and Désirée Clary took refuge
with Julie Clary at Mortefontaine, and when the allied troops took Paris, they
took refuge in the home of Desirée Clary in the capital.

Rare Pair French Retour D'egypt Terracotta Lions Sculptures
Statues Los Angeles , Exceptional fine pair of Large French Retour D'egypt
period terracotta lions, circa 1790-1810.
The French Egyptian Revival style or the retour d'Egypte
refers to style that makes use of the motifs and imagery of ancient Egypt. By
the end of the 18th century enthusiasm for ancient Egypt generated by
Napoleon's unsuccessful conquest of Egypt and, in Britain, to Admiral Nelson's
defeat of Napoleon at the Battle of the Nile in 1798. Napoleon took a
scientific expedition with him to Egypt and this was the first time a major
study of ancient Egypt was done. Publication of the expedition's work, the description
de l'Égypte, began in 1809 and came out in a series though 1826 influencing a
new way of life in France thru architecture and decorative arts. However, works
of art, decorative arts, furniture and, in the field of architecture and garden
follies, funerary monuments in the Egyptian style had appeared in scattered
European settings from the time of the Renaissance.
The Egyptian Revival style came out in a few waves in France
before Napoleon during the ancient Régime Egyptian motifs were mixed with the
neoclassical-Louis XVI style in architecture, furniture and decorative arts. A
big surge hit France around 1798 during Napoleons Egyptian expedition. This was
the first major Egyptian Revival period as this was the first time in history
that a major study on Egypt was done. French people became fascinated with the
ancient Egyptian history, culture, architecture and furniture. Egyptian
ornamentation like scarab beetles, sphinxes, winged lions and lotuses details
were incorporated into Classical style furniture and decorative arts creating a
style known as a hybrid neo-Egyptian.
The next wave was during the height of the French Romantic
period 1820s-1850s. The Egyptian Revival emerged as a result of the famous
archaeological digs of the first half of the 19th century and was primarily
used for Tomb memorials, temples, and cemeteries and some decorative arts. This
style is distinguished by its adaptation of Egyptian forms and motifs, sphinxes
guarding buildings including lotus blossoms, Pharaoh's heads, the winged disk
symbol of the sun God, as well as the use of bold bright colors.
At the end of the 19th century 1870s-1890s the Egyptian
Revival styles were in vogue once more. At the Height of the Victorian period
the Egyptian style was even more elaborate than before. Often incorporated with
Neo-Greek & Renaissance Revival styles. Victorians were even more
fascinated with these rare finds and incorporated their motifs into jewelry,
furniture, glass and Art pottery. Heavily ornamented overstuffed furniture made
its way into homes, by way of the parlor suite. armchairs with gilt pharaoh's
heads and goat feet, elegant sofa's with palmiform columns and lotus blossoms
filled the middle class homes of France. Other items were made and reflect the
population's desire for the exotic. Clocks and mantel (fireplace) garnitures
featuring sphinxes and other Egyptian motifs were popular made in onyx or ivory
alabaster trimed in gilt bronze with two matching obelisks that would flank the
clock that was crowned with a bronze sphinx. Baccarat manufactured several gilt
bronze and crystal items such as jardinieres, desk items, vases and jewel
caskets. By the late 19th century Egyptian Revival designs merged with the Art
Nouveau style.
During the late 18th century and early 19th century Egyptian
motifs were applied to a wide variety of Decorative arts objects. Publication
of Napoleon's expedition's work, the Description de l'Égypte, began in 1809 and
came out in a series though 1826, inspiring everything form sofas with Sphinxes
for legs to tea sets painted with the pyramids. It was the popularity of the
style that was new.
