Eduardo Sívori (October 13, 1847 – June 5, 1918) was an Argentine artist widely regarded as his country's first realist painter.

Sívori ha arbored artistic leanings during childhood that, for family reasons, went unfulfilled. Asked by his father to join him on a business trip to Paris in 1874, Sívori took the opportunity to frequent Parisian ateliers. Returning to Buenos Aires, the experience drew him to other local painters, including his brother, Alejandro, José Aguyari and Eduardo Schiaffino, who would later become one of Argentina's best-known symbolist painters. Together, they founded the Society for the Promotion of Fine Arts in 1875, an important early milestone in the development of artisan guilds in Argentina.

He returned to Paris in 1882, eventually earning an apprenticeship in the prestigious Jean Paul Laurens atelier, following which he created El despertar de la criada ("Waking of the Servant"), perhaps his best remembered work. Increasingly renowned, his travels took him to the United States, where he was awarded a second gold medal at the St. Louis Exposition of 1884 for Dolce far niente.

Sívori thereafter focused his efforts on commercial art, creating portraits and landscapes for clients. His bucolic landscapes soon earned him renown as the "portraiteur of the pampas." These relationships helped result in the designation of his guild as an official entity within the National Academy of Fine Arts in 1905, of which he was named president in 1910. Eduardo Sívori died in Buenos Aires in 1918 at the age of seventy, and was honored posthumously with the naming of the new Eduardo Sívori Museum in his honor, in 1938. More on Eduardo Sívori

05 Works, Marine Art, Walter Langley's perils of fishing life in a Cornish Village, with Footnotes, #87

Walter Langley, R.I. (1852-1922)

Waiting for the Boats, c. 1885

Pencil and watercolour

16 x 47 in. (42 x 119.5 cm.)

Private collection

Sold for GBP 109,300 in June 1999

The quayside by the seawall in the last few moments of leisure when they are able to share news, knit and read letters from relatives as they await the arrival of the herring fleet that has been away at sea and is returning with the day's catch. All is still and peaceful before these women's strenuous daily work begins and the women have to unload and clean the fish. The youngest of the women appears to be concerned about the arrival of the boats, perhaps nervous that not all of them will return; many men were killed in ocean storms. The anxious expression on her young face is in contrast to the weather-beaten skin of the older women who are used to sitting and waiting for the boats. More on this painting

Walter Langley devoted his life as a painter to scenes in the lives of fishing people in Cornwall. This work, from 1889, is slightly more dramatic than some in its depiction of off-stage events at sea impacting on people at home.

Walter Langley, RI (1852–1922), often described as a pioneer of the Newlyn artists in Cornwall, was born in Birmingham in 1852. His father was a tailor, and the typically large Victorian family lived in poor circumstances. The boy attended a mission school there, taking evening classes at Birmingham School of Design from the age of ten, and becoming an apprentice to a commercial lithographer in Birmingham while still attending classes. His life might have gone on like that, only a few steps further up the social ladder than his father's. But, on his own initiative, Langley picked up watercolour painting, and showed three of his watercolours at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists in 1873. A scholarship to the National Art Training Schools of South Kensington followed, to study decorative design, and, after another spell as a lithographer, Langley set out on his independent career as an artist.

Although he was very active in Birmingham, where he and others founded the Birmingham Art Circle, Langley was attracted by the trend established in France, to paint villagers among scenes of daily life in rural or coastal communities. In 1880, he and Henry Martin Pope (1843-1908), a fellow-founder member of the Art Circle, visited Newlyn in Cornwall, which was then beginning to have something of a reputation as an artist's colony. When Langley decided to move there with his young family in 1882, he became the first artist of any note to do so. He retained his ties with Birmingham, but eventually settled there permanently. His connection was confirmed when, after the death of his first wife, he married a Cornish woman in 1897. He died in Penzance in 1922, a well-known artist  — Jacqueline Banerjee

03 Classic Works of Art, Marine Paintings - Ports of Call, with Footnotes

Rubens Santoro, (Italian, 1859-1942)

Palazzo Donn Anna, Bay of Naples 

Oil on canvas

44.5 x 84.5cm (17 1/2 x 33 1/4in)

Private collection

Palazzo donn'anna, in the background, is a historical residence palace in naples, italy

Rubens Santoro (October 26, 1859 in Mongrassano, Province of Cosenza, Calabria – 1942 in Naples) was an Italian painter. He moved to Naples at 10 years of age, to study literature, but his inclination was painting. He only briefly enrolled at the Neapolitan Academy, instead, real life was his model. His first work was a small and simple genre piece: A Girl who Laughs, exhibited at the Promotrice. Domenico Morelli took note and encouraged him.

 

Santoro continually changed his vistas, painting in Torre Annunziata, Castellammare di Stabia, Procida, the Amalfi Coast, and Resina. During the long trips to the open countryside, he distracted himself by playing the mandolin. Many of his Amalfi landscapes were bought by the Goupil Gallery. Two were displayed at the 1877 Exposition at Naples: Marina di Maiuri and Grotta degli Zingari.  He moved to Paris, and after an excursion in England, returned to Naples even more prolifict. His painting Verona, exhibited at 1911 exhibition of Barcelona was awarded a Silver medal. More on Rubens Santoro

Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem, (1621/1622–1683)

A Southern Harbour, c. 1657 and 1659
A depiction of the sheep port of the Orangian protectorate

Oil on canvas

Height: 83 cm (32.7 in). Width: 104 cm (40.9 in).

Wallace Collection, London

Typical of Berchem’s decorative and exotic harbour scenes, the harbour was imaginatively identified with the port of Genoa by Jean Aliamet, who engraved the picture in the eighteenth century. The picture’s distinguished provenance demonstrates the artist’s appeal to collectors in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; its owners included the duc de Berry and Anatole Demidoff, Prince of San Donato. The 4th Marquess of Hertford paid the considerable price of 42,000 francs (about £1,680) for the painting at the latter’s sale in 1868. More on this painting

Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem (1 October 1620 – 18 February 1683) was a highly esteemed and prolific Dutch Golden Age painter of pastoral landscapes, populated with mythological or biblical figures, but also of a number of allegories and genre pieces.

He was a member of the second generation of "Dutch Italianate landscape" painters. These were artists who travelled to Italy, or aspired to, in order to soak up the romanticism of the country, bringing home sketchbooks full of drawings of classical ruins and pastoral imagery. His paintings, of which he produced an immense number, were in great demand, as were his 80 etchings and 500 drawings. His landscapes, painted in the Italian style of idealized rural scenes, with hills, mountains, cliffs and trees in a golden dawn are sought after. Berchem also painted inspired and attractive human and animal figures in works of other artists, like Allaert van Everdingen, Jan Hackaert, Gerrit Dou, Meindert Hobbema and Willem Schellinks.

Old Master Dutch Painting 17th Century Baroque

Untitled, (Fishing Village) mid 17th century

Oil on canvas
28" x 39" 
Private collection

Dutch Golden Age painting is the painting of the Dutch Golden Age, a period in Dutch history roughly spanning the 17th century, during and after the later part of the Eighty Years' War (1568–1648) for Dutch independence.

The new Dutch Republic was the most prosperous nation in Europe and led European trade, science, and art. The northern Netherlandish provinces that made up the new state had traditionally been less important artistic centres than cities in Flanders in the south. The upheavals and large-scale transfers of population of the war, and the sharp break with the old monarchist and Catholic cultural traditions, meant that Dutch art had to reinvent itself almost entirely, a task in which it was very largely successful. The painting of religious subjects declined very sharply, but a large new market for all kinds of secular subjects grew up. More on Dutch Golden Age

Private Collection

SS La Bretagne was an ocean liner that sailed for the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique (CGT) from her launch in 1886 to 1912, sailing primarily in transatlantic service on the North Atlantic. Sold to Compagnie de Navigation Sud-Atlantique in 1912, she sailed for that company under her original name and, later, as SS Alesia on France–South America routes. The liner was sold for scrapping in the Netherlands in December 1923, but was lost while being towed. More on La Bretagne

Henry Bacon (1839 in Haverhill, Massachusetts – 13 March 1912 in Cairo) was an American painter and author. Hewas born in Haverhill, Massachusetts in 1839. During the American Civil War, he and acted as a field artist for Frank Leslie's Weekly while he served as a soldier within the 13th Massachusetts Infantry. Badly wounded at Bull Run, he was discharged on 19 December 1862.

After the war, he studied art with Walter Gay, who suggested that he travel to Paris to undertake a formal art education. In 1864, he went to Paris. He was admitted to the National School of Fine Arts and was one of Alexandre Cabanel's scholars. 

He exhibited at the salon from 1868 through to 1896 with genre works which had found favour with the American market. He also worked as a journalist sending reports of events in Paris to the Boston Daily Evening Transcript. In 1897, he travelled to Egypt for the first time and began regularly spending Winters there. At that time, he switched from oils to watercolours which he believed was the optimal medium to capture the transparent light of the Middle East.

Bacon died of a heart attack in Cairo, Egypt in 1912. More on Henry Bacon

Adolf Heinrich Wriggers

Port Of Hamburg

Oil on board

15-1/2 x 22 in. (39.3 x 55.8 cm.)

Private Collection

The Port of Hamburg is a sea port on the river Elbe in Hamburg, Germany, 110 kilometres from its mouth on the North Sea. The port is almost as old as the history of Hamburg itself. Founded on 7 May 1189 by Frederick I for its strategic location, it has been Central Europe's main port for centuries and enabled Hamburg to develop early into a leading city of trade with a rich and proud bourgeoisie. More on Hamburg Harbor

Adolf Henry Wriggers (born April 27, 1896 in Hamburg , † November 30, 1984 ibid) was a German painter and graphic artist , who worked mainly in the style of impressionism.

n 1913 he received a scholarship for the School of Applied Arts Hamburg. Because of a hearing damage, he was used in wartime service as a coachman in East Prussia from 1915 to 1918 and then continued his education at the now so renamed Landeskunstschule with Carl Schroeder. From 1919 he lived freelance in Hamburg.

During the period of National Socialism , he was repeatedly imprisoned and temporarily taken into protective custody. Wriggers supported the resistance activities of the White Rose Hamburg . In 1949 he founded the Kleiner Hamburger Künstlerring with a number of other artists.

In 1956, he lost an eye during an operation, increasingly blinded until he was completely blinded in 1968. During this time, the forms and motifs of his works were increasingly coarsened. Already in the 1920s and then again from 1950 he had dealt with woodcuts and etchings, but mainly painted in impressionist style, even in small-format works. His subject was often the Port of Hamburg, which earned him the epithet “port painter”, also industrial landscapes and landscape painting in oil and watercolor.

Adolf Wiggers died in November 1984 in his hometown Hamburg. More on Adolf Henry Wriggers

Wilson Irvine

Low Tide

Oil on canvas

24 x 27in

Private Collection

Wilson Henry Irvine (28 February 1869 – 1936) was a master American Impressionist landscape painter. Irvine spent his early career near Chicago, a product of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Irvine also painted across Western Europe — where he produced outstanding American Impressionist versions of the local countryside.

Irvine is best known for his mastery of light and texture. Sometimes Irvine's obsession with light led him to paint rather pedestrian subjects — landscapes depicting little more than some trees, or a road or fence. But a number of Irvine masterpieces depict well-composed scenes including houses, boats, bridges — even a handful of portraits, including at least one self-portrait and a nude.

In 1914 Irvine packed up and moved his family to Old Lyme, Connecticut, becoming part of the famed Florence Griswold circle, now recognized as the "American Barbizon," hub of American Impressionism. It is as an Old Lyme painter that Irvine is best remembered today. More on Wilson Henry Irvine

Ernest Slingeneyer (1820-1894),  Belgian

Fighting on the Sea, C. 1857

Oil on canvas

293 x 370 cm

Private Collection

The painting depicts a true incident from the war of the first French republic, as the artist remarks in the catalog of the exhibition in The Hague 1857. The French ship ‘Le Feu’ sank during a campaign in the North Sea, only five sailors managed to enter a raft. After two days they were spotted by a British ship which sent a sloop to them. But the French sailors defended themselves until death to avoid captivity. The subject of the painting with shipwrecked men, crowded together on a raft goes back to the famous painting ‘The Raft of the Medusa’ by Théodore Géricault (1819). But while Gericault chose to show a blameful, scandalous incident within the French navy, Slingeneyer decided to depict a heroic story with great pathos. More on this painting

Ernest Slingeneyer (1820-1894). His artistic training was at the academy of Antwerp by Gustave Wappers. From the beginning he prefered to paint historic themes. With only 19 years he exhibited his first painting. The colossal painting ‘Le Vengeur’, exhibited in 1845 at the ‘Salon of Brussels’, was admired by the Belgian king. He was showered with honours and received numerous orders. In 1878 he was in charge of executing 13 painting for the great hall of the ‘Academiënpalais’ in Brussels and was paid with a record payment of 122.000 Belgian Franc. His great success and influence led to a late political career in the Belgian Parliament. More on Ernest Slingeneyer

The setting for this and so many of Putz's paintings was the lake country around Schloss Hartmannsberg, where the artist and his family summered annually before the War, and again in the 1920s. More on this painting

Leo Putz (18 June 1869, in Merano – 21 July 1940, in Merano) was a Tyrolean painter. His work encompasses Art Nouveau, Impressionism and the beginnings of Expressionism. Figures, nudes and landscapes are his predominant subjects.

He began his studies at the age of sixteen at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich. His father then sent him to the Académie Julian in Paris. After military service, he returned to Munich and studied with Paul Hoecker. He opened his first studio in 1897. That same year, he became a member of the Munich Secession. He worked with the weekly magazine Jugend and many of his paintings were reproduced on the magazine's title page. During this time, he also worked as a commercial artist, creating many posters in Art Nouveau style and billboards for the Moderne Galerie München.

He became an honorary citizen of Bavaria in 1909; a prerequisite for becoming a Professor, which appointment he received that same year. Between 1909 and 1914, he spent his summers at Schloss Hartmannsberg near Chiemgau to practice plein-air painting. It was there that he created his best-known works; the two series known as the "Boat Pictures" and the "Bathers". 

He accepted an invitation to move to Brazil in 1929. At the request of Lúcio Costa, he took a professorship at the Escola Nacional de Belas Artes in 1931. During his stay, his colors took on a more tropical flavor and the exotic plant life became a favorite subject.  He returned to Germany in 1933.

He became an opponent of National Socialism and his art was labelled "degenerate". Beginning in 1936, he was repeatedly interrogated by the Gestapo and was forced to flee back to his native region, the South Tyrol. In 1937, he was officially banned from working in Germany. For the remainder of his life, he concentrated on painting castles, villages and benign landscapes.
