About the Item

Follower of Adriaen Coorte (1665-1707) 18th Century Still Life c1795 A sumptuous still life painting depicting peaches, grapes, plums, exotic birds and butterflies in the style of Adriaen Coorte. It is painted in oil on paper and then glued to a wooden panel. This unusual technique often occurs in the work of Coorte. Adriaen Coorte ( 1665–1707) was a Dutch Golden Age painter of still lifes. Very little is known of his life, but he is assumed to have been born and died in Middelburg. He became a pupil of Melchior d'Hondecoeter around 1680 in Amsterdam. He was a member of the Guild of St. Luke from 1695 onwards. Coorte’s paintings consist primarily of high-quality, small-scale still lifes. Often square and depicting fruit, vegetables, on a ledge or in a niche, arranged against a dark background. His last known work dates to 1707. The use of a hovering butterfly is sometimes incorporated in his work and may have allegorical significance. Provenance Bought at auction as an 18th century painting. Condition This is a dark painting and requires good lighting to fully appreciate. The paper is crinkled top right corner. Paint thin in places and the varnish a little blotchy. The frame has minor repairs to the corners. Size 43cm x 41cm (59cm x 57cm framed) 17 x 16 inches (23 x 22 inches framed)

  • Circle of Fred MORGAN (1847-1927) c1890
    Located in Holywell, GB
    Circle of Fred MORGAN (1847-1927) c1890 A sensitively painted portrait, possibly a study for a larger work, of a young country girl. Indistinctly signed ** Morgan, possibly Fred. Unfortunately Fred signed in a number of different ways depending on the grandeur of his work. However, a consistent element was the colour, a reddish brown similar to the colour of the signature on this painting. I can offer no provenance with this painting, so I am selling at as circle of Morgan rather than actually by him. “Frederick Morgan ROI was an English painter of portraits, animals, domestic and country scenes. He became known for his idyllic genre scenes of childhood. Morgan was born in London to John Morgan and his wife, Henrietta Hester Clare. His father was a successful genre artist sometimes known as 'Jury Morgan' (after one of his paintings The Gentlemen of the Jury). At the age of 14, he was taken out of school by his father who then tutored him in art. At the age of 16, while still studying with his father, his first picture, The Rehearsal, was exhibited at the Royal Academy, and, after a hiatus of several years, his paintings were shown there regularly. For a while he worked as a portrait artist for an Aylesbury photographer; this training proved to be crucial as it "taught him how to observe closely and to give the greatest attention to detail." Eventually he turned to other subjects for his art, in particular idyllic genre scenes of country life and childhood. For many years, starting in 1874, Thomas Agnew & Sons' purchased all the work he produced. Although an excellent portrait artist, Morgan had problems in depicting pets and barnyard animals - he enlisted the aid of either Arthur John Elsley...
