"At the Crossroads, " Masterpiece of French Surrealism by Delmotte, 1956
About the Item
In our opinion, the masterpiece of Marcel Delmotte's long artistic career, this highly-finished surreal painting depicts four semi-nude female figures, one very pale and ghostly in the foreground, and three others clustered together in the background, highly stylized. The figures are shown at the juncture of truncated roads and bound by smooth, high walls punctuated by round arches, with twinkling radio towers in the distance. Showing the influence of Magritte, De Chirico and Dali, Delmotte balances sensuality and dreamlike other worldliness in one complex scene. His work was highly respected in his native Belgium, and four years after painting this piece, he won the Médaille d'Argent de la Peinture Belge, Le Premier Prix Chapman and Le Premier Prix de peinture Richard Dupierreux. (Dimensions include frame.).

The Prince was a great collector of modern art in the early 20th century, and today his home is a museum and much-beloved landmark in Stockholm. This painting shows the sculpture in the foreground, and in the background is a jumble of houses, factory chimneys and institutional buildings, the Swedish flag...Category

- "The Entombment of Christ, " Fine Copy of Titian Masterpiece, Oil on CanvasLocated in Philadelphia, PABeautifully painted, probably in the 19th or early 20th centuries, this copy of the famed "Le Transport du Christ au Tombeau" painting by Titian (Tiziano) in the collection of the Louvre in Paris, was recently found in the attic of a Hudson Valley monastery. The Louvre original, considered an early painting by the master, dates to the same period as his famous "Pastoral Concert" and shows the strong influence of Gorgione. This scene depicts the collaborative efforts of Joseph of Arimathea, Saint John and Nicodemus as they moved Christ's body from the cross to his tomb, watched by the two grieving Marys -- his mother and Mary Magdalene. It is not known who painted this copy, though of course artists over the years have copied the great Master paintings...Category
