Con Paintings in Oil of Seascapes, an artwork from France dating to 1850–1900, executed in oil technique on wood.
Description from the seller
These two frames feature a refined Louis XVI style, characterized by its classical elegance and detailed ornamentation. They are crafted with richly decorated moldings in a gold finish, showcasing floral motifs, rosettes, and volutes that evoke the neoclassical taste typical of 18th-century France. The symmetry and balance in each frame's design reinforce their aristocratic and decorative character.
Inside each frame, there is a scene of everyday coastal life, painted with a sensitivity that alludes to the Dutch school of the 19th or early 20th century. The first work depicts lively port activity, with sailing boats near the coast, human figures interacting on the beach, and transportation elements like horse-drawn carts. The second painting portrays a solitary vessel facing turbulent waters, with buildings and vegetation in the distance under a partly cloudy sky.
Both compositions stand out for their narrative atmosphere, treatment of light and water movement, as well as for their precision in architectural and human details. Together, the frames and paintings form an artistic duo that combines French decorative sophistication with Dutch painting tradition, offering a window into the past in both style and content.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
