19th Century Italian Sheep Oil Painting in Carved Gilt Frame Signed G. Milone
About the Item
Decorate an office or study with this beautiful antique pastoral painting. Hand painted in Italy circa 1870, the painting depicts a tranquil countryside landscape with a flock of sheep grazing in a lush meadow. The background features rolling hills, tall trees, and soft, diffused light suggesting early morning or late afternoon. The palette is dominated by earthy greens and browns, with subtle highlights adding depth and realism to the scene. The artwork is signed in the lower right corner by the artist G. Milone. The painting on canvas is set in a highly ornate, gilded Rococo-style frame with elaborate carvings. The elegant frame features scrolling acanthus leaves, floral motifs, and shell-like decorations at the corners and center. Its intricate design and gold finish add a sense of opulence and complement the painting’s serene natural beauty. The painting is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and adorns rich colors.
Giovanni Milone was an Italian painter active during the 19th and early 20th centuries. He specialized in pastoral and animal scenes, often depicting livestock such as sheep, goats, and cattle in serene landscapes. His works are characterized by their detailed and realistic portrayal of rural life. Despite his evident skill and the presence of his works in the art market, detailed biographical information about Milone is scarce. Sources primarily document his artworks and auction results, offering limited insight into his personal life or artistic training. This lack of comprehensive biographical data is not uncommon for artists of his era, especially those whose recognition was more regional than international. In summary, Giovanni Milone remains a somewhat enigmatic figure in art history, known chiefly through his contributions to pastoral and animal painting genres. His works continue to be appreciated for their depiction of rural life, reflecting the artistic interests of his time.

19th Century Dutch Sheep Painting in Carved Gilt Frame Signed Frans Lebret
By Frans Lebret 1
Located in Dallas, TX
Set in the original carved gilt wood frame, this antique oil on canvas was crafted in Europe circa 1860. Signed in the lower right corner by Dutch artist, Frans Lebret, the charming pastoral painting captures a serene interior barn scene filled with rustic warmth and intimate detail. At the center, a group of sheep reclines peacefully on a bed of straw, joined by a rooster and a hen, all softly illuminated by daylight streaming in through an open doorway. To the left, a woman and child stand quietly near a wooden support beam, their presence suggesting a gentle guardianship over the animals. The structure of the barn its beams, rafters, and shadowed recesses are rendered with atmospheric depth, evoking a sense of shelter and tranquility. Outside the barn, a glimpse of tiled rooftops and blue sky connects the calm interior to the rural world beyond. The painting is presented in a lavishly ornate gilded frame, carved with baroque scrolls and acanthus leaves, which enhances its timeless, bucolic character. This work is a tender tribute to the harmony between humans, animals, and agrarian life. The art work is in excellent condition with great details and beautiful pastel colors; it is set in a splendid and elegant gold leaf frame with floral and leaf motifs in high relief. Artist listed in the Benezit. The canvas has been relined.
Frans Lebret (1820-1909) was born in Dordrecht and was known for his Dutch landscapes mainly with sheep. Thanks to financial help from his brother Gerrit who had a sugar estate in Java, and his job as a drawing teacher, Frans was able to survive his first years as a painter. Later he became quite successful and was able to live of the sale of his landscape paintings with animals. In 1863, together with his brother Jan Hendrik...
