Locating Rembrandt
For the auction house, the portrait was simply a knockoff of a 17th century Rembrandt so they set a price of $3,100 for it. Paying 1,500 times more than that was a British buyer who apparently knew what he was doing at the time. In an English auction house the Rembrandt Laughing which experts have confirmed was a self portrait done by the Dutch master, depicted with his head tilted back in easygoing laughter, was bought for a bargain price of four and a half million. To get a closer look on custom oil painting from photo visit this site.
A collector, specializing in Dutch and Flemish masters, said it's worth $30 million to $40 million, adding that he is very surprised it didn't make more at auction. With regard to putting a new value on the painting the art expert from Sotheby's did not agree to it. According to him coming across a work by Rembrandt happens once in a blue moon so this sale in particular is a rare opportunity.
When he was in his early 20s Rembrandt made this self portrait around 1628 while in his hometown of Leiden. This was when he was starting to earn his reputation as an artist and he began experimenting with expressions by using a mirror and his face. A staggering presence is what it has. When it comes to the laughter and the light, both were in their most natural form.
For about 100 years the painting was the property of an English family. There have been assumptions that it could have been Rembrandt's imitator or one of his students. Showing only a little of the painting's luminosity or depth, poor photographs could have been the reasons why the auction house came up with a low evaluation. Pointing to Rembrandt were the materials, contour, brush stroke, and monogram, all of these pointed to Rembrandt and a 23 page analysis was made to support how he was responsible for the little work. Go to this site for further information on oil paintings of angels.
When it comes to the winner of the auction, he might have known that the painting was a genuine Rembrandt from the monogram RHL in a rare style used by the painter for a year. It was Rembrandt Harmenszoon of Leiden that the monogram stood for. Recorded by the auction house for its assessment was the signature HL. More convincing are these initials for they were painted onto the background and the direction of the brush strokes match another one of Rembrandt's monograms.
The shape of the body of the laughing Rembrandt ended up baffling the experts. When it comes to the piece, there was a woolly blanket for clothing, the metal armor and glossy shirt appeared amorphous, it lay in lumpy folds, and there was little description of the anatomy underneath. What is evident in this piece is a contour which had a character of his own and he used this in his later works. The contour possessed a certain autonomy and this must be because Rembrandt was testing a different method of painting the body.
Considering the size and type of the thin copper plate on which the piece is painted, it matches the other Rembrandt paintings. Rembrandt's paintings all have a second painting underneath and this is what the xrays have revealed for this particular painting. The whereabouts of the painting remained unknown before 1800 and a Flemish engraver attributed the original to the Dutch painter Frans Hals by mistake when he made a reproductive print not recognizing that the image bore the face of Rembrandt. There is no clear location as to where the painting stayed after the silence that followed.
I have a hand painted plate signed by Jane Appleton, who is/was Jane Appleton.Would this be valuable?
This plate is really pretty, painted in pastel colours, of poppies.

During the 18th century, there was a developing interest in and great acceptance of nature. Not only the earth, the trees, and flowers, but also the acceptance of simple human urges and instincts increased. Mankind was now seen as the most interesting aspect of nature: good, beautiful, ugly or harsh...these attributes were all accepted in concert with the notion that the things of nature could not be bad. This was the perfect time for Jean Antoine Watteau to come upon the scene for he indeed felt a sympathy and affinity toward mankind.
Watteau was born in Valenciennes in October of 1684. Not much is known about Watteau's family except that his father was a tile maker who was prone to drinking and brawling. Watteau showed artistic ability at a young age and it is possible that he first studied under a local artist named Jacques-Albert Gerin. His early drawings were of the local townspeople, shop keepers, and street clowns in Valenciennes. Like other young artists, Jean Antoine went to Paris in 1702 with the hope of entering a studio where he could refine his art. He worked as a second rate painter before becoming acquainted with Claude Gillot. Gillot was a set designer for the stage and it was Gillot who exposed Watteau to the Commedia Dell'arte. These theatrical themes appear throughout Watteau's oeuvre: examples are Le Mezzetin (1718) which can be viewed at New York's Metropolitan Museum and the later work Gilles at the Louvre.
It is not known for how long Watteau remained with Gillot, but Watteau also studied with the decorator Claude Audran in 1708. So much is made of the fact that Watteau was the inventor of the Fete Galante, that his contributions to 18th century ornamental decoration almost go unnoticed. Under Audran, Watteau became instrumental in developing what is known as chinoiseries and singeries. These decorations were based on oriental subject matter and monkey motifs which were applied to panels, furniture and porcelain.
In 1709, Watteau competed for Prix de Rome but failed to take first place. At this point he left Paris, and returned home to console and replenish himself. He felt that it was from his home town that he derived his strength. In fact, later in his life, when he was dying from tuberculosis, he was convinced that if he could get home he would get better. It was perhaps also his Flemish background which gave to Watteau his admiration of Peter Paul Rubens, who was the main influence on Watteau's formative years. Although probably already familiar with Rubens, it was Audran's position as Keeper at the Luxembourg Palace which allowed Watteau to study Rubens' Marie de Medicis series. Watteau also studied the great Venetians and in particular appreciated Veronese and Titian. The merging of all these influences and Watteau's own painterly style became known as Rubenisme, one of the most important artistic movements in France during the 18th century.
In 1712, Watteau again competed in the Prix de Rome. No prize was offered that year, but Charles de la Fosse and Academy President Corneille Van Cleve recognized Watteau's talent and invited him to submit to the Academie de Peinture. Watteau became a full member of the French Royal Academy in 1717. His reception piece, or morceau de reception, was entitled l'Embarquement de Cythere (1717) which now resides in the Louvre. There is also a second version of this painting known as Le Pelerinage a Cythere (1718), which is in Berlin. A good deal of confusion surrounds the title of these works. The complications result, in part, from misunderstandings within the Academy in naming Watteau's subject matter, and, in part, from the title's translation from the French to English. Confusion also revolves around the issue of whether or not the painting is about a departure from Cythera or an arrival. Most critics feel it is about a departure despite its popular English translation: The Embarkation for Cythera.
Cythera was the island where Venus was born. It was a special place only for lovers. And it is in this place that we find our boarding party. We can note that the statue of Venus has already been bedecked with roses and garlands. Our elegant gentlemen help the ladies to their feet. And perhaps the most touching aspect is the melancholy and side long glances of the women showing what can be perceived as a reluctance to leave this beautiful and restful surrounding. Watteau's theatrical influence is also apparent, as his composition has been likened to a choreographed minuet. Indeed, Watteau's work produces an ambiance which leaves the viewer with a poignant longing. The day of love has come to an end.
The Embarkation shows French Rococo at its peak. The elegant men, the women dressed in their shimmering silks, and the rose-cheeked cherubs are all indicative of the style of this movement .It was with this painting that Watteau became known as the painter of the Fetes Galantes.
In addition to being a vibrant colorist, Watteau was a superb draftsmen. Hundreds of his drawings survive which show his concentration on the human form. He drew from life and his drawings are studies of hands, fingers, and limbs executed in his favorite media, trois crayons. A master of nuance, Watteau's ability to express specific gestures, attitudes and poses is virtuoso and these drawing are much sought after today.
One of his most famous works was produced in only eight days. It was created for Watteau's friend and art dealer Gersaint. Le Enseigne de Gersaint (1720) is a tour de force of Watteau's draftsmanship and his skill as a colorist. This painting is believed to be a sign which hung outside Gersaint's shop. It is an excellent example of genre painting for here we see the everyday life of the townspeople and we learn that Gersaint sold paintings, framed mirrors, and toiletries for a refined, aristocratic clientele. Perhaps Watteau was compelled to became a chronicler of everyday life because for him it was natural, and therefore truthful and honest. This new attitude is representative of the humanistic ideology of the 18th Century but it was Watteau whose art embodied and propelled a more humane attitude toward genre painting and common man. It was a time when grace and elegance were held in high esteem while at the same time Revolution and industry seemed to be wiping away these very same ideals.
Jean Antoine Watteau died July 18, 1721. He was thirty seven years old and at the height of his career. His legacy included a direct impact on landscape painting and genre painting. Several artists followed in Watteau's footsteps, including Nicholas Lancret and Pierre-Antoine Quillard.
