Theodore Wendel (American/Ohio, 1859-1932), "View of Venice along the Rio Nuovo Canal", oil on canvas, signed lower right, 21 in. x 24 in., framed. Note: Theodore Wendel was one of the most successful and respected Impressionist landscape painters of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A native of Ohio, Wendel studied with Thomas Noble at the McMicken School of Art at the University of Cincinnati. He traveled to Munich, Germany in 1878 with his good friend Joseph DeCamp to study with Frank Duveneck at the Munich Academy. Wendel and his friends became known as the "Duveneck Boys," and the group included such noted artists as William Merritt Chase, James Abbott McNeill Whistler, and John Henry Twachtman. From 1878 to 1880, they painted landscapes and figural paintings in Polling outside Munich, as well as in Florence and Venice. Most of Wendel's paintings from this period are unlocated, making examples like the current lot very rare. The view offered here depicts the Rio Nuovo canal in Venice. Using soft shades of rose, pale blue and green, Wendel's gestural brushwork produced an early work of Impressionism by an American artist. Later in 1887-88, Wendel studied in France and became good friends with Claude Monet. He was one of the few American artists whose work Monet chose to praise. Wendel's career was curtailed by illness in 1917 and despite being one of the most important American Impressionists, his reputation gradually faded, and he fell into obscurity. His work was all but forgotten until John I. Bauer organized an exhibition of his paintings in 1976 at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City, reelevating his career status to its original importance.

EMMA CIARDI (ITALIAN 1879-1933)COUPLE BY A FOUNTAIN Signed and dated 1912, signed and inscribed on label on reverse, oil on canvas70cm x 59cm (27.5in x 23in)Exhibited: The Leicester Galleries 1913, no 60 Note: Emma Ciardi's work typifies the wistful spirit of a particularly poignant period in the history of European culture. Born in Venice in 1879 into a family of artists, Ciardi studied under her father, the distinguished Italian realist artist Guglielmo Ciardi, an associate of the proto-impressionist Macchiaoli painters, who specialized in views of the Venetian lagoon, Lombardy and the Veneto. In her late teens, along with her brother Beppe, she took up painting professionally and exhibited for the first time in 1900 at the age of 21 at both the Universal Exhibition in Paris and the Promotrice in Turin. Three years later Ciardi showed for the first time at the Venice International Exhibition, where she would subsequently exhibit regularly until 1932. In 1905 she won a gold cup at Munich, taking another at the 1915 San Francisco Exhibition, where she showed alongside her brother and her father.Ciardi's favoured subjects were the north Italian landscape and the great villas and gardens of her home town of Venice. Although in composition and subject matter her work was influenced principally by Guardi and Longhi, her technique was in a style of highly textured impressionism using a palette which recalled Whistler, Monet and John Singer Sargent. Gradually however, she came to specialise in the neo-18th-century genre scenes of which the two works now on offer provide fine examples. Venice, in the halcyon days of the Belle Epoque before the Great War, was a charmed place, drawing to its palazzo society the aristocracy and gilded youth of Great Britain, Europe and America. The city's magic was sustained by the novels of Edith Wharton and Henry James and in the work of such painters as Sickert, Mortimer Menpes, Frank Brangwyn, and William Merrit Chase. But above all it was Sargent who captured the spirit of the place, his numerous, highly commercial Venetian views possessing, as one reviewer remarked 'the intensity of a dream'. The same might be said of Ciardi's works of the time which, less academic, were also deliberately fanciful in their chocolate box evocation of an imagined Roccoco arcadia. Ciardi perfectly perpetuated the mood of hedonistic escapism, her romantic fetes galantes mirroring the vogue for 18th century costume balls typified by those thrown by city's Grand Dame, the flamboyantly eccentric aristocrat the Marchesa Luisa Casati.Their enormous popularity was demonstrated by the success of Ciardi's first solo exhibition in 1910 at London's celebrated Leicester Galleries, which was followed by a second there in 1913, at which this painting was shown. After the Great War, as the lure of Venice once again offered an escape from the tragedy of the real world, Ciardi was again in the ascendant and, during the 1920s, she received great acclaim in the USA, with numerous shows at the Howard Young Gallery in New York. Further successful exhibitions were staged in London by the Fine Art Society in 1928 and 1933. Emma Ciardi died in Venice in 1933 and two years later was celebrated with a retrospective at the fortieth Venice Biennale.

Albert Lebourg (French 1849-1928)Route de village, Hondouville-sur-Iton. Oil on canvas. Signed lower right37.5 x 64 cm.(14 3/4 x 25 1/4 in.) The authenticity of this work has been confirmed by Monsieur Francois Lespinasse.The French Impressionist and landscape painter Albert Lebourg was born on 1 February 1849, in Monfort-sur-Risle. Lebourg originally started his career as an architect, before becoming a student at the École des Beaux Arts et l¬ademie de Peinture et de Dessins in Rouen. After meeting the famous collector Lapelier in 1872, he taught drawing at the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Algiers where he met Jean Seignemartin, a painter of the Lyon School. Under Seignemartin's influence, Lebourg's palette lightened and his paintings grew increasingly Impressionistic in style.In 1878, Lebourg returned to France and became a student at the studio of Jean Paul Laurens. He first exhibited with Monet, Sisley, Renoir, and Pissarro on Montmartre Boulevard in 1878. In 1893 Lebourg became a member of the Société des Artistes Français and painted mainly in Rouen and Auvergne, as well as along the banks of the Seine. He spent twelve years between 1895 and 1907 travelling aroun Europr including the Netherlands, England, Switzerland and Belgium.Lebourg's main 'Impressionistic subjects' were landscapes; he became fascinated by the different lighting conditions over the course of a day capturing the momentary and transient effect of sunlight in the open air (en plein air) rather than in a studio from sketches. This approach was influenced by Claude Monet and the circle of other Paris-based artists of the 1860s.Lebourgh had a retrospective of his work at the Galerie Georges Petit, Paris in 1918. Three years later in 1921, after a stroke which partially paralysed him, he ceased his career and moved back to Rouen where he died seven years later.The present work is a typical example of Lebourg’s interplay between colour and light - it was painted in Hondouville-sur Iton, a small village between Louviers and Evreux (Eure) circa fifty kilometres from Rouen.
