CRIMEAN LANDSCAPE WITH A SEASHORE AND CYPRESSES RUSSIA, 1920s–1930s

CRIMEAN LANDSCAPE WITH A SEASHORE AND CYPRESSES RUSSIA, 1920s–1930s

A refined Crimean landscape capturing the atmosphere of the southern coast on a clear summer day. The composition is structured around a gentle diagonal movement of the rocky shoreline, harmoniously balanced by the vertical accents of slender cypresses and the calm horizontal expanse of the sea. In the middle ground, a small house with a green roof is organically integrated into the natural setting, serving as both a compositional and chromatic focal point. In the distance, a panorama of mountain ranges unfolds in cool bluish-violet tones, dissolved within a luminous atmospheric perspective.Executed in a plein-air manner characteristic of Russian painting of the first third of the twentieth century, the work employs a free and confident brushstroke that avoids detailed delineation in favor of conveying the overall state of nature and the interplay of light, air, and space. The color scheme is built upon a subtle balance between the cool tones of the sea and mountains and the sun-bleached yellow-white and ochre hues of the coastal rocks, evoking the sensation of intense southern sunlight. The painting is marked by restrained harmony and a lyrical mood, free from decorative artifice or excessive expressiveness.By its painterly language, chromatic sensitivity, and overall atmosphere, the work relates to the tradition of Russian Impressionism and to the circle of professional artists active in Crimea during the 1920s–1930s, who continued the development of plein-air painting beyond academic and ideologically driven frameworks.Dimensions: 34 × 28 cm (visible); 48 × 43 cm (framed).Medium: Oil on canvas.Condition: Good. The canvas has been relined; the paint layer is stable, with minor signs of age.Provenance: Private collection.

LARGE SALON VASE WITH FLORAL BOUQUETS. ERNST AUGUST LEUTERITZ GERMANY, MEISSEN, SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY

LARGE SALON VASE WITH FLORAL BOUQUETS. ERNST AUGUST LEUTERITZ GERMANY, MEISSEN, SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY

A large museum-level salon vase produced at the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory after a model by the distinguished sculptor and modeller Ernst August Leuteritz. The monumental form, rooted in Neo-Renaissance and Neo-Baroque traditions, is conceived as an elongated baluster set on a profiled circular foot with a broad, stable base.The vase is constructed in two parts and displays a pronounced architectural silhouette. The high neck with a richly articulated rim is decorated with an ornamental frieze and a sculptural “pearl” moulding. Two powerful scroll handles, accentuated with gilded mounts, create a ceremonial and symmetrical rhythm. The lower body and base are enriched with finely modelled acanthus leaves, lavishly highlighted with gilding and executed with exceptional precision.The body is covered in a deep royal cobalt glaze, characteristic of Meissen’s prestigious works of the nineteenth century. On the central reserves, finely painted polychrome floral bouquets depicting roses and chrysanthemums are rendered in a highly accomplished overglaze technique. The painterly treatment reveals subtle tonal gradations, delicate modelling of petals and foliage, and a refined chromatic balance. Rich gilding frames the composition and enhances the overall impression of opulence and decorative splendour.Marks: Underglaze blue crossed swords mark of the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory; first quality mark.Dimensions: Height: 60 cm. Width: 35 cm. Depth: 35 cm.Material: Porcelain. Underglaze and overglaze painting. Cobalt glaze. Gilding.Condition: Good. Minor signs of age consistent with period. No chips or cracks. Gilding well preserved.
