Late 19th century. Huge dramatic, oil on canvas painting executed in the manner of Tizian’s world famous painting “Venus of Urbino”, from c. 1583, now in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. The painting depicts Venus, the Roman goddess of beauty and fertility, seen as a reclining nude. The goddess is lying on a bed in the foreground. She is completely stretched out, hereby revealing the magnificence of her female body. Further back two attendants can be seen, presumably collecting Venus’ clothing. Apart from emphasizing the idealized beauty of the nude goddess in the foreground, the painting carefully depicts the interior with its fabulous marble floor and its classical column. This is a stunning painting with an enigmatic appearance. Unsigned, manner of the important Italian renaissance master Vecellio Tiziano (1485/89-1576).

Pair of signed and dated original art. I believe these are water-color and pencil. These charming images of frogs and toad stools are very familiar looking and probably by a well listed artist. Unfortunately, I cannot make out the name only the date, 1886. One features a pair of toad lovers under a large toadstool, the other is a single frog, legs crossed lounging on a toadstool, chewing on a flower stem. They are in their original oval wood frames which have a mahogany finish, gilt interior trim and off white mats. The frames have some wear but the art is in excellent condition. There is a paper label on the back of the frames that says "Swains Art Store", Plainfield, N.J., established 1868. 11"x 13 1/2" framed, the art is 6" x 7 1/2". Price 895. 00 for the pair.   « Less
