Ship Portrait of the Brigantine *Arvid - Kaptn. J.E. Hellgren 1883* - the sailing ship is shown at fair weather and under full sail off Holyhead and the South Stack Lighthouse, Anglesey heading for Brazil, with other sailing vessels in the distance - Oil on canvas, old relining - 50 by 75 cm (20 by 30 in), with frame 62 x 89 cm (24 1/2 x 35 in) - signed l. r. "W.H. Yorke, L`pool 1883" and inscribed with title - Price on request

Note: A characteristic ship portrait by this artist who loved so much to portray sailing vessels (instead of steamers) and executed in his best period (the 1880s). This painting was carefully cleaned and there is only little inpaint in the water at two areas and in front of the bow. Gladly this artwork has not suffered from Overcleaning - which can happen so easy with Yorke paintings because the color layers are thin - which you can see especially in the well preserved water, sky and in the details of the ships (rigging lines etc.). This is a Premium Artwork in good condition and ready to hang of cause. For information about Yorke see "Ship Portrait Artists" and many other Literature.

Portrait of an Polar Bear on an Ice Floe in the Arctic near Greenland, ca. 1860-70 - with another larger ice floe in the background - large and very detailled Silk and Wool Embroidery - 64 by 89 cm (25 by 35 inch) sight, with frame 74 x 99,5 cm (29 by 39 inch) - signed lower left "H. Koch" - good original condition and in the orginal frame, protected under glass - price (incl. s&h): EUR 1.980 (ca. DKR 14.750 or Pounds 1750 -convert to Krons or Pound)

Note: Heinrich Koch was a drawing and embroidery artist who lived and worked in Hamburg, Germany. Due to the immense work and time which was necessary for his embroidery pictures of extraordinary quality and size his Ouevre was quite small and we never noticed in the last 20 years any work by him which was available for sale. Greenland and the Arctic was in the 18th Century and in the first half of the 19th Century a popular hunting ground for Whaling Ships (which were often also hunting seal) from Germany and Denmark. It might be possible that this picture was made following this old tradition.

Anyway and - according to reports from British Naval Officers - several Pirates / Corsairs were still active in the remaining part of the 19th Century and as late as until 1900. The Straits of Gibraltar at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea was a preferred place where they were seeking merchant ships from Europe and America to enter and capture ship and crew. British Naval Ships from Gibraltar were on duty to chase the Pirates.

Tuscan View Toscana Volterra

View of a Tuscan Landscape near Volterra with a Monastery or Church on a hill top 1905 - shown at Sunset, early evening in Summer - with romantic light effects and the typical features of a landscape in the Tuscany (olive trees, cypresses, hills, low stone walls, small path ways, antique buildings) - Oil on canvas, original stretcher, 71 by 77 cm (28 by 30 inch), with frame 84 x 90 cm (33 by 35 1/2 inch) - signed lower right "Arvid Aae, Volterra" and dated 1905 - cleaned, minimal area with retouch only, in good condition and in the original frame - price (incl. s&h): EUR 2.980 (ca. US$ 3,995) (convert to Pounds or US$ )

Note: Arvid Aae has been trained at G. Vermehrens Art School and afterwards at the Royal Academy in Copenhagen (which was the leading Art Academy in Scandinavia in the 19th C.). Many of his paintings - which he exhibited at Castle Charlottenborg - were Portraits or Genre, but in 1905 until 1906 he made a travel to Paris and Italy and came back with several landscapes. His total output was unfortunately limited due to his early death in 1913. He is represented in the Koldingshus Museum and several private collections. In general his fine paintings are comparable rare to find, especially the paintings he made during his travels in Italy and France. Photo Copyright is with the FineArtEmporium.
