About the Item

MERIO AMEGLIO Picture Size: 18 x 24" (46 x 64cm) Outside Frame Size: 25 x 31" (62.5 x 77.5cm) Oil on Canvas Italian, 1897-1970 Merio noted impressionist painter primarily known for his landscapes & cityscapes, seascapes & harbor views from his extensive travels throughout the Mediterranean and various regions in Europe, as well as winter scenes, mountainscapes, historic landmarks & famous buildings and cathedrals scenes, human genre/activity & nudes, market scenes and still lifes. Ameglio was born October 4, 1897 in San Remo, Italy and was raised in the aristocratic intimacy of the Cote d’ Azure amidst the promenade and the Mediterranean Sea. After his formative years of painting along the French coast, Ameglio moved to Paris in 1938 where he continued to explore and perfect his artistic abilities. Montmartre became not only his main residence but also the beginning of his cultural awakening. Although considered to be self taught, his formal education was provided in the bohemian arts area through his encounters and friendships with other popular avant-garde artists, such as; Pablo Picasso, Jacques Villon, Gino Severini, Van Dongen and Jean Paul Francois Galle. Ameglio established his atelier within walking distance of the heart of Montmartre, la Butte, at 23, rue Clauzel. Ameglio became a member of the Paris Salons and exhibited regularly there. In 1938, during the International Art Exposition he won considerable acclaim and was awarded his first honorable mention for the painting “Cathedrale de Rouen”. In October 1969, a year before his passing, a retrospective exhibition of his work was held a year before his death at the Galerie Cambaceres in Paris. He primarily worked in oil, but worked in various other mediums as well. His work can be found in numerous private and public collections worldwide. He died at his home in Montmartre, Paris on July 29, 1970.

  • The Flower Girl
    By Louise Abbema
    Located in St. Albans, GB
    Louise Abbéma 1853–1927 Louise Abbéma (30 October 1853[1] – 10 July 1927) was a French painter, sculptor, and designer of the Belle Époque. Abbéma was born in Étampes, Essonne Born into a wealthy aristocratic Parisian family with close ties to the city’s artistic community, She began painting in her early teens, and studied under such notables of the period as Charles Joshua Chaplin, Jean-Jacques Henner and Carolus-Duran. Portraits of actors and actresses at the Comédie Française dominated her early works until she made a name for herself at the Salon of 1876 with her portrayal of the “Divine Sarah.” Abbéma ultimately executed multiple portraits and received recognition for her work at age 23 a bronze medallion of Sarah Bernhardt, with whom she was a close friend and possibly lover. Like most women artists of the time, Abbéma focused mainly on portraiture and genre scenes (images of everyday life). Her high-society portraits executed with a light touch and rapid brushstrokes reveal the academic and Impressionist influences that shaped her style. Her sitters included French diplomats and other notable members of society. Abbéma developed a variety of techniques using oil paints, pastel, and watercolor, and worked on various supports, including fans. Abbéma received commissions for panels and murals which adorned the Paris Town Hall, the Paris Opera House, numerous theatres including the Theatre Sarah Bernhardt, and the "Palace of the Colonial Governor" at Dakar, Senegal. Abbéma solidified her international reputation after exhibiting works, including two wall murals (on canvas), at the Women’s Building at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. A bust of Sarah Bernhardt sculpted by Abbéma was also exhibited at the exposition. Abbéma specialized in oil portraits and watercolors, and many of her works showed the influence from Chinese and Japanese painters, as well as contemporary masters such as Édouard Manet. She frequently depicted flowers in her works. Among her best-known works are The Seasons, April Morning, Place de la Concorde, Among the Flowers, Winter, and portraits of actress Jeanne Samary, Emperor Dom Pedro...

  • After Sunset by the Lake, 1889 by Swedish Artist Anton Genberg, 1889
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    Among the treasured classic arts we offer for sale is this stunning painting by the artist Anton Genberg. Born in 1862 to Pehr Jonsson and Anna Genberg, he left an indelible mark on the art world through his magnificent creations. Genberg's life was colored with a passion for exploration, study, and artistic expression. His artistic journey began with studies at the Tekniska skolan in Stockholm from 1882 to 1884, during which he also honed his skills at Oscar Törnås' private painting school. He furthered his education under the tutelage of Per Daniel Holm at the prestigious Konstakademien from 1884 to 1889. During these years, Genberg's exceptional talent was recognized with numerous scholarships and medals. Our painting, dated 1889, transports us to a captivating scene just some minutes after sunset. The canvas is imbued with a beautiful golden glow as the sun's last rays kiss the sky. Amidst a serene lake, the heavenly light reflects, painting the water's surface with mesmerizing shades of purple. In the distance, the landscape is dominated by a mountainous forest, while in the foreground, a stretch of land adorned with bushes creates a sense of depth. The impressionist style comes alive through Genberg's swift brushstrokes, reminiscent of the masterful techniques employed by Rembrandt, with branches delicately etched using the opposite end of the brush. Genberg's fame as a landscape artist was solidified through his enchanting depictions of snow-laden landscapes from Norrland, particularly the majestic "fjällen" (mountains). His art also captured the allure of Stockholm, Dalarna, and his birthplace in Jämtland. Notably, his masterpiece "Vinterafton" earned him a place of honor at the esteemed Nationalmuseum. Beyond his creative pursuits, Anton Genberg was actively involved in the art community. He served as the vice-chairman of the Svenska konstnärernas förening from 1913 to 1918 and held a position on the board of Sveriges allmänna konstförening from 1906 to 1939. His exceptional contributions were recognized when he was elected as a member of the Konstakademien in 1922. Throughout his life, Genberg resided in various places, leaving behind a trail of artistic inspiration. From 1916 to 1924, he lived in the enchanting Villa Wallbeck-Hansen, a masterpiece of national romanticism...
