Crossing the ford Capriccio Baroque Landscape 18th century Oil Painting

About the Item

As we gaze upon at this artwork, our eyes are immediately drawn to the foreground where a comical spectacle unfolds before us. A carriage, stubbornly stuck in the midst of a ford, serves as the focal point of the scene unfolding. A woman, exuding authority and determination, directs three men in their efforts to free the cart from its watery trap. One can almost imagine the air filled with the woman's colorful speech as events unfolds, with even the white dog on the shore joining in the cacophony with its loud barks. The left side of the picture depicts a traveling married couple, who from a distance observes and discusses the action before them. In the center of landscape, there stands a large quaint house perched on a small rock. Surrounding it are rolling hills and fields stretching out as far as the eye can see. This painting is a prime example of capriccio, a style popular during the Baroque era that combined elements of fantasy and reality to create scenes.

Ship Leaving the Bay at Sunrise French Seascape 18th century Rococo Oil Painting
Located in Stockholm, SE
Attributed Charles François Grenier de Lacroix or Charles - François Lacroix de Marseille (1700 - 1782) as signed lower left on the stone “Lacroix”. The scene of the departure of nobles on a ship, somewhere among the Mediterranean landscapes at sunrise. Lacroix's sense of color and attention to detail are particularly impressive: the sea is calm, the sun is rising and as a soft pink hue begins to emerge in the clouds, the morning haze has not yet cleared and the air is clear and clean, large ship...

Pink Sunset in Winter Birch Forest Giant Landscape early 20 Сentury Oil Painting
Located in Stockholm, SE
An impressive painting in size and execution, a frosty winter day in a birch grove with a small pond. The orange-yellow sunset reflected on the surface of the pond creates the illusion of bizarre reflections. The frosty haze that has enveloped the forest intertwines with the approaching twilight, enhancing the sense of depth and atmosphere. On the right we see a traveler returning from the forest with an armful of brushwood on his back. In the distance a small flock of birds flies in, alarmed by something, bringing a sense of movement to this scene. The contrast of bright and cold shades creates an atmosphere of calm and silence...
