19th century school, following 17th century Flemish models."City View".Oil on canvas.The canvas has perforations and dirt. With patch on the back.Measurements: 46 x 55,5 cm.Although the dating of this canvas is fixed in the 19th century, the artist is clearly inspired by Flemish models of the 17th century. In it he gives priority to the landscape view of the last planes, in which the skyline of a typically Flemish city can be discerned. Like other genres that became very popular during the 17th and 18th centuries in Flanders, landscape painting has its roots in the Dutch pictorial tradition of the 15th century. The background landscapes in the religious works of Van Eyck, de Bouts and van der Goes occupy a much more important place as an artistic element in these works than landscape painting in Italian painting of the same period. With regard to the representation of the narrative, the landscape of the Flemish Primitives plays an essential role, not only as a natural setting for the characters but also to separate and set the various episodes of the story narrated in the work. With regard to the imitation of nature, 15th-century Flemish painters sought to depict the countryside and towns of their native country in their religious landscapes, detailing their flora with botanical precision and even giving an idea of the time of day and the season of the year in which the scene takes place. This special interest in depicting the landscape increased as the 16th century progressed, when a new type of landscape was developed and popularised for sacred scenes: the panoramic view. Very soon, however, it was the representation of the landscape itself that was to receive the attention of painters and, of course, of the public.

Their collaboration resulted in hundreds of illustrated plates and a herbarium of several thousand specimens representing about 1200 different species.

Don Balke (North Carolina, B. 1933) "Purple Finch and Lilac" Signed lower left. Original Watercolor on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood commemorative cover for Balke's Birds and Flowers of the 50 States, cancelled June 21, 1985. Not purple at all, the male Purple Finch looks like a large-billed sparrow with a glowing red head. The brownish female is boldly streaked and wears white facial stripes. These small, conical-billed birds are usually most abundant at New England feeding stations in spring, when the red maples are in bloom. Thoreau, who scattered crumbs for these birds at Walden Pond, loved to hear the Purple Finch's rich strains of music and their sharp call note. 'The hearing of this note," he wrote, "implies great improvement in the acoustics of the air." A hardy bird, the Purple Finch has been observed bathing in icy streams in below-freezing temperatures, and singing after a blizzard. If sentiment alone determined the most popular flowering shrub, it might well be the Lilac. There is hardly a person whose memory is not stirred by it, and its scent is one of the most familiar of all perfumes associated with flowers. Lilac flowers grow in panicles, the botanical name for their pyramid-shaped clusters. The panicles grow at the end of the small branches of a shrub or small tree which may reach twenty feet in height. In the spring, Lilac bushes are laden with fragrant clusters of flowers which vary in size. Lilacs have also become runaways and grow along roads and on uncared-for land. They prefer a rich soil but are strong enough to survive almost anywhere. Image Size: 11 x 12.5 in. Overall Size: 19.25 x 21 in. Unframed. (B09608)
