"A Village School" American Oil on Canvas, Kids in Class, Constant Mayer, 1871
About the Item
A beautiful American oil on canvas school room scene with a teacher instructing students who are seated on benches and on the ground, with one student who appears to be wearing a dunce cap, signed on the lower left, "Constant Mayer 1871". Mayer has beautifully captured the classroom setting with a mid-19 century teacher bringing his class together with various scriptures and lessons. The boy with a dunce cap is in time-out for acting improperly while in class, while the other kids are learning various subjects, such as math and English.
Constant Mayer was a French painter who moved to the United States in 1854. He was born in Besancon, France and studied in the Ecole des Beaux-Art school in Paris under Leon Cogniet. He was elected as an associate of the Legion of Honor and was also elected as an associate of the National Academy of Design in 1866, as well as a member of the American Art Union. Many of Constant Mayer's works are found in world-renowned museums, which include the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

Charles Stuart "Their Mountain Home" Oil on Canvas, Signed, 1895-1897
Located in New York, NY
Charles Stuart (British 1838-1907) "Their Mountain Home" from 1895-1897 is on oil on canvas and is signed as well as dated. This gorgeous highland landscape depicts a stag herd retreating down the mountain from the impending mists. Stuart captures the swirling movement and material quality of the fog, which obscures the towering mountains adding an element of mystery and magic to the painting. In juxtaposition, the foreground of the painting is rendered in precise detail from the rippling tides to the leaves of grass. Each stag is differentiated adding an element of naturalism.
Charles Stuart, F. S. A. was a landscape painter active from 1881 to 1904. Born to a long line of painters, Stuart exhibited at the Royal Society of British Artists and the Royal Academy. He was a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London, and the prestigious Savage Club whose members included Charles Dickens. He was married to Jane Maria Bowkett...
