Yearning, oil painting, Classical Realism, Norweigan Artist, Florence Academy

About the Item

Yearning is painted in the style of Classical Realism in Florence Italy. Yearning was mastered in the Realist style while studying at The Florence Academy of Art, where she further developed a deep affection for the genres of still life, interiors and nature motifs. Cornelia later taught in Sweden and New York and recently returned to her home Norway. Realism can be seen in most of the artist's paintings that are in collections around the world. She is holding a thistle in her hand- which symbolizes good fortune in the matters of the heart. This flower is actually a part of Scottish wedding bouquets. However, you can also see this eryngium thistle in a self portrait by Albrecht Dürer which he painted before his own marriage. It has a handmade Italian frame.

    Located in Houston, TX
    Samuel S.Hoskins Statement on Winter: Delving into the symbolism of winter, I painted a figure dressed in black, embracing the harvest of autumn. In my perspective, winter signifies a moment to take stock of one's life, withdrawing into a state of reflection. It's a time to gaze ahead, anticipating the promises that spring holds for renewal and growth. As a graduate of The Florence Academy of Art and a devoted oil painter, Samuel Hoskins...

    Located in Houston, TX
    Samuel S.Hoskins Statement on Sacred Writing : I sought to delve into the concept of sacred texts, encompassing both religious and mythological narratives. Unlike conventional books, these sacred texts are dynamic, evolving throughout an individual's lifetime and human history. Reading such a text in childhood carries distinct significance compared to revisiting it in later stages of life. To symbolize our transformative journey, I depicted a path leading into the forest, illustrating how our life experiences influence our connection with these profound literary works.

    Samuel S.Hoskins Statement on The Traveler : I hold a deep appreciation for the motif of the traveler. I prefer to perceive my life as a narrative in which I play the role of a traveler. Much like in life itself, this journey involves navigating through various elements and facing the challenges that life presents. At times, the journey may be characterized by sunny and pleasant moments, while at other times, it might resemble a chaotic storm. Nevertheless, there is a profound beauty woven in it all.
