Heinrich Faust
Oil Portrait of Girls with Rabbits

c. 1870

About the Item

Heinrich Faust is a German genre painter of the late 19th century. He painted dramatic interpretations of everyday occurrences such as families and groupings doing tasks. This elegant piece has a color palette of rich reds and golds and is very warm. The red "halo" around one of the children gives that figure a very cherubic nature. His detail in the animal and the attention to the animal is truly exquisite. The gold leaf illuminates the background and causes the painting to glow in a way that creates focus on the foreground. This artist grew very popular in Germany, and this popularity has widely spread into the rest of the world, especially the United States. This painting is signed "H Faust" in the lower right, very typical of his paintings, comes with frame, and is in excellent condition!

    A masterful example of Italian Mannerist painting, this exceptional panel was composed by the renowned Florentine painter Domenico Puligo. Alongside Jacopo Pontormo and Rosso Fiorentino, Puligo is remembered as one of the foremost figures of the Mannerist movement that rose to prominence during the 16th century in Florence. This panel of the Virgin Mary with the Christ child and Saint John the Baptist is a characteristic example of his celebrated devotional images, which grace museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), Museo del Prado (Madrid), Palazzo Borghese (Rome), and Palazzo Pitti (Florence), among many others. Puligo’s skill with color is fully demonstrated in the beautifully preserved work. Considering its age, the vibrancy and the sheer range of color is remarkable. The Virgin Mary’s crimson dress...

    Signed verso. As Darsney’s work has developed, his compositions and influences have evolved. An auto-didactic artist, Darsney draws inspiration from a variety of sources, including The Boston School and iconic masters such as Vermeer, Rembrandt and Degas. These artists’ attention to detail and adherence to classical ratio, coupled with Darsney’s own innate sense of structural integrity, inform his vision. He is also particularly influenced by the art on view in Boston museums and collections as seen here with his portrayal of The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit...
