German Realist Still-Life Painting of Fruits and Wine by Gottfried Schultz

About the Item

GOTTFRIED SCHULTZ German, 1842-1919 Still-Life with Fruits and Wine on a Marble Surface with a Small Fly Oil on linen Signed upper left "G. Schultz" Item # 402UJE16Z An intricately painted still-life scene centered around a blown glass goblet of white wine centered on a marble table top. Red and white grapes spill across the surface with a sprig of the grape vine together with several large leaves resting on the top while peaches, a pear, two plums and an open apricot are laid out on the table. A single fly looks on at the table of sweet fruits and juices, its tiny body casting a faint shadow on the carrara marble beneath it. In the glass of wine, the panes of a window can be seen reflecting against the curved body. It is interesting to note a two things that caught our eye - first is the water droplets on the grapes and on the table top, a feature Schultz frequently includes in his still-lifes. And secondly the inclusion of a single spoiled white grape with its deflated and discolored skin front and center. Honesty in the midst of a tasty composition. In other examples, Schultz has frequently included grape leaves that have holes and browning on them or are even missing parts of their edging. Gottfried Schultz's paintings are quite scarce on the open-market, perhaps indicative of a low output by the painter. One of his paintings is held in the permanent collection of the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art in Florida (acc. no. P-042-92), a 10 x 12 in canvas featuring berries and fruits on a marble slab before a soup toureen. The few paintings that have shown up on the market over the years would include: Still-life of Grapes, Peaches, Plums and Hazel Nuts with a Glass of Champagne on a Marble Mantleshelf, 13 3/4" x 17 3/4", [Christie's, London, achieved 9200 GBP, 19 March 1993], Still-life of Red Berries, Peaches and Strawberries, a tiny painting measuring just 7" x 8" [Auktionshaus Zofingen, Switzerland, 16,000 CHF, 31 May 2002 - the pair to this painting, also measuring 7" x 8", was offered separately at the sale and also achieved 16,000 CHF], and a 7 1/2" x 10" example of Still Life with Grapes, Plums and a Peach offered at Van Ham Kunstauktionen in Germany, which achieved 4500 euros on the 17th of May 2013. Provenance: Wolf's Gallery, Cleveland, OH, lot 243, September 22nd 1990 Private Collection, Macomb County, MI, acquired from the above ARTIST Gottfried Schultz was born in Darfeld on February 4th of 1842. He studied as a pupil of J.W. Preyer in Düsseldorf where he would eventually set up his studio. He painted almost exclusively still-life compositions, almost always featuring fruit and local foliage along with servingware, goblets or cups. Little is known about the life of this meticulous painter, though what little authentic work from his studio remains is always meticulous and brilliant in its handling of color and light. Often his work includes an insect: butterflies, houseflies, bees and the like. Artist Listings & Bibliography: E.

American Still-Life Fruit Painting of Peaches and Fly by Morston Ream ca. 1880

Located in Shippensburg, PA

MORSTON CONSTANTINE REAM United States, 1840-1898 Still Life of Six Peaches in a Porcelain and Glass Bowl with a Knife Oil on canvas unsigned circa 1880 Item # 403EDF06S An exquisite still-life rich with texture, color and brilliant use of light. This tranquil scene features six peaches in a beautifully decorated ceramic bowl with a translucent glass rim resting on a table covered in two layers of cloths. The first has a a pearl color with a greek-key border, overall having a silky sheen and a chaotic fringe edge; the second is a green fabric with geometric patterns. Along the side of the bowl is situated a pearl handled bread knife, something of a hallmark for Morston Ream, as he used several styles of pearl-handled knives in almost this exact orientation for several of his paintings. For a nearly identical knife and placement, see Christie's, New York, 3 March 2011, lot 76 ("Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture"), 10" x 11 3/4", achieved $ 8750. Another example with identical angling of the knife sold at Doyle, New York, 2 November 2021, lot 71 [achieved $ 4250]. A solitary bead drips from the center peach as a fly stands perched at the top. The work is unsigned, but is without any question the work of Ream. It likely dates between 1880 and 1888, as the original frame had a label on it from Thomas A. Wilmurt, a well-established framing and looking glass company in New York City that moved to its 54 East 13th Street premises noted on the label around 1880. Images of that label and the original frame from when this painting was offered at Tremont Auctions of Sudbury, Massachusetts (lot 209, 25 April 2021) will be included with the information packet our gallery provides. ARTIST Born in Lancaster, Ohio in 1840, Morston Constantine Ream was the younger brother of Carducius Plantagenet Ream (American, 1837-1917), an artist who became at least as famous as Morston for his brilliant fruit pictures. Morston began painting in the late 1860s, leaving his career as a daguerreotypist for fear it was damaging to his health. He exhibited extensively, his first exhibit recorded at the National Academy in 1872 while he was living at 56 Bank Street in the west part of Greenich Village in New York City. He listed his address at Union Square in Philadelphia from 1876 through 1882 when he listed his address as 862 Broadway. He began sending paintings to the exhibitions at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1888, then listing his address as 1244 Broadway in New York City, but by 1896 he had moved to Chicago to live at 558 50th Street. He actively sent paintings to the major exhibitions, regularly exhibiting at the National Academy from 1872 through 1883, sending paintings to the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1876 and 1881, as well as exhibiting at Moore’s Art Rooms and the Brooklyn Art Association. He died in 1898 at 58 years of age in New York City. Similar market examples: Still Life with...

German Landscape Painting of Alpine Mountain Waterfall by Guido Hampe

By Guido Hampe

Located in Shippensburg, PA

GUIDO HAMPE German, 1839-1902 Alpine Landscape with Waterfall (1881) Oil on canvas signed lower right "G. Hampe '81" Item # 106QJY03C An incredibly powerful Romantic landscape of the Alpine mountains with a waterfall cascading into a valley, the river pouring over the rocks and curving around the bend, flowing past a pair of figures seated on a grassy noll with a transcendant unearthly lighting that creates a focal point of the couple. It is as if the clouds have opened up just to shine light on them, emphasizing the glorious day the man and woman are experiencing on this leisurely hike through nature. Painted by Guido Hampe in 1881, the painting was acquired by Charles S. Shultz, president of the Hoboken Bank in Montclair, New Jersey where it remained in his home until its deaccession from the home in 2021. The home was particularly interesting for its total originality, the interior looking almost identical throughout its entire life to how it appeared at its inception in 1896. Enclosed in the collection of images is a shot of the painting in situ over the living room fireplace as captured by the Montclair Magazine article on the home in 2020. The work is signed in his typical script lower right "G. Hampe / 81". It remains housed in the original and substantial giltwood frame, fully restored and a very powerful presentation.

Surface bright and vibrant. Retains the original frame that we have had professionally restored with trace regilding and inpainting, some elements recreated; the restoration has preserved the antique nature of the frame and all restoration has been toned to match the aged aesthetic of the frame. Painting was acquired with its apparently first surface, an incredibly thick grime layer that significantly obscured the image - this was likely due to its placement above the fireplace in the Charles Shultz...
