About the Item

Oil on canvas painting of group of gentlemen telling tales at the pub by German artist Fritz Wagner. The painting is signed in the lower right corner and presented in a period frame measuring 32" x 39.5" overall. Fritz Wagner was a painter of still life, landscapes and genre scenes usually with cavaliers. He was born in Zurich on 20 July 1896 and travelled throughout Europe. Wagner studied at the Academie de la Brera de Milan.We have had the good fortune to handle a number of Wagner’s works over the years. Both his beautifully crafted interiors and highly detailed figures contribute to a winning recipe. The choice of period costumes and settings was quite a deliberate move by Wagner enhancing the decorative value of his subjects. To each figure he gave a different character enabling the viewer to read into the situation presented.

"De Nachtmarkt" by Dutch Artist Johannes Christoffel Vaarberg

"De Nachtmarkt" by Dutch Artist Johannes Christoffel Vaarberg

Located in Wiscasset, ME

A wonderfully atmospheric oil on board featuring a night market with shoppers perusing in the candlelight. By Johannes Christoffel Vaarberg (1825-1871, Dutch), measuring 34" x 28.5" including the frame. Vaarberg lived and worked in Amsterdam starting in 1848. He is thought to have studied at the Academy in Amsterdam. Although he painted portraits and contemporary genre, he excelled at recreating historical scenes with dramatic use of light often emanating from candles or lamps. By employing traditional seventeenth century compositional techniques, Vaarberg succeeded in capturing their essence. His work reflects a period when historical paintings were exceedingly popular. In order to make this subject matter more accessible, painters often chose to represent incidents from the lives of the famous as opposed to major events. These works emphasized personal character and experiences with which the viewer could empathize, as in our painting which deals with the theme of rejection and ultimate vindication. Johannes Frederick Hulk, Jr. was a student of Vaarberg. From 1848 – 1871 Vaarberg exhibited works in Amsterdam, The Hague, Groningen, Rotterdam and Leeuwarden. A painting by the artist is in the Museum Paul Tetar van...
