Auction Show (1) by Thomas Bosket | Live Art TV |

hello welcome to live art TV my name is

Thomas basket and we're here to talk

about some paintings today from all

different periods in history but

basically traditional classical works

1900s early 1900's late 1800s and they

range from florals to portraits to some

pretty racy stuff that you might want to

hang out for because he gets kind of

weird around the corner aways we've got

some wonderful paintings from Sweden

introducing an admiral and his wife or

his family it was nice to see those and

I look forward to sharing them with you

all today we also have some interesting

views of Venice a couple of views of

Venice and it'll be nice to talk about

those and what happened there was a

wonderful period in the history of

Venetian art in the 1700s with the

artist canaletto and he painted on

copper now these pieces are on canvas

but they're interestingly representative

of that period like she's kind of a

crisp sparkly edginess to them and

you'll see you'll see you'll get them

when they're up I think we also have

this piece we're gonna start with today

this is called still life of vaaz with

flowers at green and orange Paris this

is an unusual little bird here he's kind

of quite lovely and if you get in here a

minute we'll see some of these paintings

some of these details and stuff I want

to look at this painting right there

let's just look at the whole thing for a

second and see some of the different

aspects of this there you go there's a

whole array of flowers here sort of

spread out it seems like it's springtime

pretty alive and you think about you

know what's going on I'm reminded of

sort of the beginning of love there's

nothing about this painting that speaks

to sadness or dullness there's wonderful

colours there's sort of these pink

arrays going into purples down here

there's these shoots of blue over in the

corners and I want to give you some

information some basic information about

this painting this painting is 31 by 39

inches it's an oil on board and there's

an interesting fact if you come up a

little bit higher come to the top of

this painting left or right doesn't

matter but you're going to see a little

piece over here this is interesting

was part of an inset panel so there's a

piece right here and it might not be

that visual on TV but it was added to

the canvas to kind of enclose it but the

whole piece is on wood and it was inset

into a panel in an architectural castle

I believe I believe it was part of a

castle and so this piece you can see is

oil on board you can get in touch with

us at live art tv.com our numbers eight

five five nine eight three five four

eight three and of course always go

online if you need information you can

email us as well at info at live art

tv.com where you can find us and this

piece is estimated to bring in one

thousand five hundred to two thousand

five hundred dollars and that's nothing

this is a phenomenally painted piece if

you look at it closely it's really

beautiful and you could jump in here and

start picking this around these

wonderful these these these sort of

dogwood flowers off to the side you've

got roses sort of draped here if roses

are some of your favorites they remind

me of I can't help it but when I think

of early spring whose house am I in here

it's sort of a noble person's house and

you've got this wonderful array of

flowers to look at there's a fantastic

one in the middle which I'm going to

spend some time talking about zoom in

here a bit and look at this one flower

this has is this gives you sort of the

essence of how well this is painted you

can see that there's layers and layers

of color in here you start at the

outside you have this kind of white

pinky orange kind of warm color you

almost can't even tell that it's that

it's not white it's actually a color

itself and then it kind of leans in and

becomes cooler you start dropping into

these cool blues there's a cool red

violet that's in there and then all of a

sudden it bursts in the middle with this

yellow this yellow kind of green of life

and this is indicative of the whole

painting to me the whole painting

overall tends to be rather calm but then

it's got this burst of flowers in front

of it the background is very calm and

kind of quiet there's this wonderful

goofy bird

I wonder give me a minute here commit me

up here bring me in and I wonder what do

you think this is about I wish you'd

call in here at eight five five nine

three five four eight three live art

tv.com and give us some of your ideas of

what you think this is about

I think it's unusual when you look at

paintings like this and think why did

they put a bird in it and I'll tell you

my reasons but I'd love to hear yours is

that it was about life and a bird

doesn't sit still for long

they're always active running around

jumping here and there and so you have

this bouquet of flowers which we know

won't live forever right this is them in

their prime they've come off of their

stalks and they're here for us to admire

to enjoy and just soak into our hearts

and I think about why do we cut flowers

why do we have birds and paintings I

think we cut flowers because we want to

celebrate life and a particular aspect

of life I think a fleeting point of life

something that's important to you but is

passing and then you think a bird a bird

is generally sort of an exciting little

moment something that they flit about

you know just the way that they are as a

being tends to be rather quick and then

this one is all orange and green so he's

pretty colorful right keeps you on your

toes and I think this little guy is here

to basically celebrate along with these

flowers of fleeting moments something

that's going to happen in pass and so

you could imagine what are those moments

it could be the passing of youth it

could be something like a day like your

birthday or something that happens in a

flash and you think how do people

capture those moments so that they can

be relived or remembered or basically

engaged again with others so if you're

hanging this on the wall you'd be able

to talk about these things and use it as

a platform a little bit of a launchpad

to talk about things that are passing in

your life and maybe you're grasping for

a moment and then they pass by right

through your hands like sand and so how

do you do that you know how do you do

that I do it through art I think that

it's a great place these are all

one-of-a-kind original pieces and this

is really striking you have to imagine

one person painted this one time in the

world and it doesn't exist anywhere else

this isn't something you can get as a

you know a copy or a knockoff this is

original and when you look at it you can

see all the details of a human that

actually painted this you know you look

inside here there's actually this

wonderful eye on this parody sort of got

this this expression of like like

glaring doubt like he's telling you

daring you to come and touch the flowers

but he's got quite a look of a

of a scowl it was I think is a great

offset to the wonderful energy of these

flowers above you know there's all this

life around him and then he's got this

this looked like don't you dare but

we're going to because they're ours and

we can take a look at them go up to the

top left for a moment there's a

wonderful Lily up over in here and a

lily historically was indicative of

virginity and purity and I look at this

one it's it's quite beautiful it's it's

got this fold that like a mouth it sort

of opens to the edge of the canvas and

then the other one is just sort of

quietly resting waiting to burst it's

got quite a plump kind of bud on it and

this whole thing I wish you could see it

live because there's beautiful beautiful

subtleties in the painting here there's

a there's a blue gray sort of touch here

and there that's going in to the the

shadows of this painting and it's sort

of calmly launches the the bursts of the

open bloom at the end and lilies

although about virginity were also about

purity which is aligned with virginity

but purity being something that they

were white they were considered

untainted and I think it's interesting

because here you find these little grey

areas and stuff it's almost like makes

the purity pure without seeing those

soft points you don't really know about

the the boldness of the white you don't

really have a place to launch to you

know if you're launching from a launch

it doesn't make sense you have to come

from a quiet place into a place of

exploration or explosion that's kind of

great there if we come back out and take

a look at this whole thing one of the

pieces I haven't spoken about yet which

I'd like to address and it's very quiet

in the background is this bowl there's a

beautiful Bowl holding everything

together and sometimes if you only look

at one side of the picture you end up

thinking about just the things that are

kind of exciting or focal points you

know important moments such as these

flowers but if you look in the

background there's something that's

always a container that holds the

painting and keeps the image kind of

together for us to behold and back out a

little bit back out a little bit and I

want to see this whole bowl for a second

there's a

all here and then it comes all the way

across the bottom and goes down out to

here and that's sitting on a table this

wonderful Bowl is resting on a marble

table there's some great red travertine

marble in the in the base here again

it's it's it's a detail but you'll catch

it later there's there's this wonderful

holder and it sets everything off

there's a what we call well it's neutral

but a neutral color means that you don't

really have a name for it like Brown is

a neutral and gray is a neutral and the

side of the Bazar right here has this

wonderful kind of gray tone to it kind

of a silvery quality and what that does

is it sits in space almost like a

Netherland like between something that

is forward something that's back it's

right in the middle and sort of floats

there and so it it holds things very

nicely and in this painting it's warm

it's got a little bit of a ruddy red to

it

so it gives it I think the life it needs

because it is a pretty exciting piece

and it's got a lot of life in it and so

you think you can't have a piece like

that be a you know a blue gray Vaz or

something kind of dull and soft but it's

got some energy to it the whole painting

is sort of a alive and vibrant it's

surprising to me that it it doesn't

burst off the page as much as it does

already but it it kind of sits there

calmly and I think that this is speaking

to early spring for me and although this

has to be later in the year it still

feels like early spring to me because

it's like a moment of celebration where

it's about to happen and then it's

passing so maybe it's late summer I

don't know it there's a lot of flowers

here the peonies and roses the the

delphiniums there's these are like

dogwood blossoms little dogwood blossoms

and so I think there's quite a bit

happening in here around the notion of a

fleeting moment so take a look don't

forget that this is 31 by 39 inches it

is an oil painting on board it is an

original painting and we're looking at

1500 to 2500 that's fifty five to twenty

five hundred thousand is the estimate

that this will go for and I think that's

incredible that if you really look at

this painting it is beautifully painted

it's got incredible details and nuances

of all sorts of of

handwork in it and you really don't see

this very very commonly and I think you

should take a close look review some of

the video if you can and say what am I

looking at here and give us a call if

you have any questions we're at eight

five five nine eight three five four

eight three it's live art tv.com and you

can also contact us at info at live art

TV we look forward to hearing from you

don't pause to ask questions we really

like to hear what you're thinking and

what you're thinking about we're gonna

move I think to the next painting so

let's kind of zoom over here a bit and

slowly make our way to this piece this

is a spectacular piece and I can't wait

to talk to you about the drawing here

this piece is by a fellow named Vincent

DeVos and it was painted Believe It or

Not in 1829 range to 1870 his whole life

we don't know exactly when he painted

this piece but it's in that range and

it's this fantastic piece of kind of

peasant life and what goes on in a

peasants life and there's a million

things happening here and the really

really great thing here is the drawing I

know it's a painting and it is an

oil-on-canvas

it's a beautiful thin piece of linen it

feels like a Belgian linen but it's it's

very very fine linen and linen different

than canvas linen tends to last about

four hundred years canvas tends to last

about a hundred years and they have to

refinish it this one will actually last

a lot longer well past our lifetimes and

this piece is on the technical side

forty nine and three-quarter inches by

seventy three and a half inches this is

a large canvas to traverse and it's got

a huge tail wrapping around there's

people all the way out in the edges that

are telling you stories and we'll get to

them in a minute you're gonna zoom into

stuff eventually but stay where we are

for right now and these are incredible

faces in here I want you to see later

this piece it has a nine to twelve

thousand dollar estimate on it and again

this is a massive canvas it's sixty six

and a half inches by forty two and then

three quarters on the canvas and earlier

I'd mentioned how big the frame was

which is seventy three and a half by

forty nine and three quarters now let's

take a look at some of the issues here

this painting overall is obviously a

scene of peasant life and what are the

peasants doing you know they're hanging

out together they've got their children

with them you can come in here to the

central kind of image

of these figures and let's just see

what's going on you've got basically

you've got a mom she's got her baby with

her she's got maybe a friend across the

way from her and there's some old fellow

who looks like he's tipsy a bit got red

cheeks and whatnot hitting on the maiden

she's she's got it together I think

she's got enough protection around she's

good here at the village and then you

see this mom coming down and she's got

this little creature down here on her

apron sort of running around playing

with a puppy he afraid of the puppy

maybe but playing around a little bit

and then you've got chickens and whatnot

now why is this whole scene in the

centre - this whole painting what is

this all about this little guy playing

down here the chicken has a looks like

an egg or a rock down here if you go

down a little bit further I don't know

if we can get there but if not that's

all right well back out a bit but what's

this about this is somebody having a

good time somebody goofing around and

playing a bit there's that egg there's

that looks like an egg or a rock but

this little guys playing around and you

think what's the central theme of this

painting why do we have this mother and

her children and these chickens down

here and to me it's honestly about

family this is a weird little cluck of

chickens which tend to be a family

because they stay together they also

protect each other if they're out in the

wild and then you look at these guys up

here and you have this this mom in pink

and then she's got her friend across the

way in pink it also seems like there's

another woman over here that's in pink

you keep these three there's sort of

friends together so this is maybe their

chosen family and then you have some

tipsy elders in the village sort of

playing around with the maidens which I

guess is a natural part of life but it's

also I think it's it's understood in the

humor and the women's faces if you look

at her face she's smiling and she's

laughing and it's not so bad and there's

somebody back over here sort of saying

you know hey dude you know be careful

take your time be gentle and he's got

quite a look of his mouth is open right

here and he's saying you know you know

be gentle be be kind and so maybe he's

just appreciating what what he thinks is

a beautiful woman

this piece is to me about the community

that we live in which become our chosen

families and all the different ways that

we join together there's some great

friendships in this painting when you

look around and we'll get all the way to

the back of the painting and a

it but I want to come over here for a

second come over here this is one of my

favorite pieces and this painting is

right up over here a little bit further

to the right you'll see these fellows

okay there's just one fellow it's sort

of shocked by people talking over here

but look at this look at this group

right here and get in as close as you

can there's an incredible face here that

shows you the drawing in this painting

it's rare to see paintings drawing this

well there's these wonderful caricatures

in these faces and how they're drawn

they seem like what do you call it like

Cowboys

there's an adventuresome spirit in them

and there's this it's hard to describe

it's almost a smile but it's such a

knowing smile it's like a sly fellow

who's got a lot going on in his mind and

he's got this kind of cowboy peasant had

on rough and rowdy and he's got his

buddy his buddies arm is wrapped around

him so they're in close conversation

with each other they're they're

seriously wrapped around each other

there's the buddy's arm right here in

his hand and then they're sitting on top

of a barrel which probably was full of

liquor or wine when they're both taking

a drink or two

they're definitely partying here this is

maybe the Super Bowl in 1700 everybody's

having a good time and I look at these

guys and I'm thinking there's almost

like a fight going on in the background

behind them and then there's people in

the village that are staring at all of

them and I'm thinking what's going on

here this is a day in the life of these

people this is what we do every day of

our lives why we live is to celebrate

our lives like this this is insanely

busy and beautiful to me

because of all the different people that

are interacting and I think how often do

we get to see our whole village anymore

we've all closed our doors and gone to

TV we'll go outside and take a walk or

sit on your front porch for a minute and

see you know some of your neighbors and

what's going on ask some questions see

what they're about and that's what's

happening in this whole painting is all

the stories of the village people

sitting together drinking together

friends getting out to you know women

sort of wrestling their kids and playing

with the chickens and you've got a puppy

running in so you have everything that

could happen in a village is happening

here I think there's some interesting

you know I have to think like why is

everybody outside and I think about the

things that we do in our village we get

together on fireman Day parades we get

together to celebrate each other when

somebody does something important in the

village we get together at these big

dinners and we celebrate their their

personhood you know what they've done

the events the accomplishments the

accomplishments of each person and I

think what possibly could be the

accomplishment here would be maybe the

new children that are born in the year

maybe it's a celebration of new life

that's come into the village and that

seems pretty steady for me there's a

huge table of white cloth which tells

you that there was a celebration that

was um you know it's unusual this is

this is so white and pure but there's no

way that this was a daily activity this

is a cloth that was out for a very

special activity and there's some drink

everybody has drink which wasn't that

common and then a huge ham is on the

table to eat so you have to imagine

there was a major activity going on and

I imagine most of it is here but if you

keep going over come over to the left a

little bit further you'll see that

there's also some people that seem to be

noticed something coming in the distance

now what are they noticing they're

noticing something off in the distance

they're pointing at you and they see you

come into this dinner so you've been

invited to sit down and have a drink

you know to join these people and

they're sort of surprised that there'll

be some strangers at the meal as we all

would be I think but also excited to see

strangers the people that come into our

lives and share with us now if you're

heading up a little bit there's those

are the strangers the other people we

know these are the strange characters in

our lives that are already in the

village and you can see a buddy sort of

leading this guy is leading this buddy

into the bar maybe behind them to get

another you know drink and sit inside

warm up a little or or cool down maybe

but that's a wonderful pile of people

there's a wonderful pile of people sort

of sweeping through here and you think

of people like honoré daumier the French

draftsman fantastic draftsman who drew

figures as energetically and as

beautifully as these they really have a

wonderful swooping line to them when you

when you go through this painting

it's almost doesn't stop you go from the

woman's hand to the man's hand to

they're fit you know up a shoulder into

a face across their gazes you know she

may be looking at her buddies or looking

at this man but she looks like she's

looking up to the heavens kind of about

what's going on in her head and then you

zoom around here up into these guys back

here you you zoom over to them and then

there's this great block that sort of

draws you out for a second into the

whiteness the whiteness brings you back

down to the table so formally there's

this wonderful sort of swooping zooming

in and out of this painting so that you

find your way around there's almost no

moment in this painting where you sit

still it's a great deal of activity and

energy and excitement and so I'm seeing

once again let's just remember that this

is called the outdoor party by Vincent

DeVos he lived from 1829 to 1875 the

painting is quite large at 66 and a half

by 42 and 3/4 and the canvas that's the

canvas I'm sorry but then the frame goes

out to 73 and a half by 49 and 3/4 it's

very large you can see I'm 6 foot 3 and

Here I am standing in front of this

piece and and it's still quite

impressive this would be a lovely piece

in the living room a great celebration

of a community and a vibe of a family of

people being together all their

differences all the unique qualities all

the exciting qualities and that their

accomplishments are being celebrated and

we once again have been invited to this

party this is a great piece to feel it

also reminds me there's a very great

painting we all know the Last Supper by

Leonardo DaVinci and although that's a

very somber piece and it's about the

Last Supper this is sort of a reflection

on that that historical moment when

people gathered together to celebrate a

momentous moment and acknowledge it with

a meal and that's what's happening here

is the meal is a place to acknowledge

the great accomplishments that we've

made and that's what you see in this

painting the outdoor party thank you for

taking a look I want to move to this

other painting over here and see where

we can find ourselves we've got a great

piece over here well this is an unusual

piece I've got to say this is an

incredible piece and we're gonna have a

heck of a time talking about it because

it's just beautifully painted this piece

is oil on canvas

it's a 17th century oil painting of

Venice it's done after canaletto and

it's the Piazza San Marco we all know

that if you've been to Venice there's a

29 by 37 inch canvas 29 high by 37

inches wide and over all the frame

included would be oh I'm sorry that was

the overall 29 by 37 the canvas was 27

and a quarter by 19 and a half so this

oil painting by an unknown artist is

after Canaletto which if you if you take

a look at Ken Alecto what he was famous

for and we can zoom way in here anywhere

you decide will be a good place because

the whole painting is incredibly

exquisite but the what canaletto was

known for was this exquisite attention

to detail if you look closely every

single person has a robe and a hat or a

scarf and you can see every single

detail in the piece every single being

is absolutely perfect the shadows even

have multiple details there's incredible

amounts of detail on the architecture as

you come up there's all these steps and

then there's these beautiful patterns up

in the Charcot texture that you see all

this art Moorish architecture and then

you see all these patterns appear in the

in the grille work they have this is all

usually a stone work that's been carved

and in the plaster work would be inside

back here and even in the little

courtyards back in here you can see

details and people and there's shadows

and platforms and then there's these

wonderful kind of carvings on the inside

of each of these there's another detail

of the carvings were way up in there

it's unbelievably beautiful

you have to think again if we back out a

bit let's look at this painting overall

and consider what's happening what is

this painting about what does this

painting mean right what do you think

this painting is about you have a view

of a harbor you have the Piazza San

Marco you have merchants you have ships

coming in

you have looks like you have some people

in the distance who might be buying

goods on the on the ship but you have

this unbelievable sparkly day and I have

to think because of the crispness of the

painting and the sharpness of the

details that this was a day to celebrate

the life of Venice it's unquestionably

celebratory look at the look at the

light on the temple and on the the

castle sorry and the the temple is

actually this way down this aisle down

through here you'll see but look at look

at the light on this and you have to

think this is pretty spectacular the way

that it's lit it's like a wedding cake

it's so crisp and the sharp detail you

can see every bit of detail in this and

the humans running around I mean there's

no question that there's something going

on and I have to think I don't know if

it was the coronation of a king I don't

know if there was something significant

for the day that why this would have

been created but I think every artist

makes a painting for a particular

purpose they don't just make a painting

like a photograph they're to spend

possibly months years it depends on the

painting but this definitely took a long

time they're gonna spend a long time

deciding what to paint and so I always

have to think why did they pick this you

know what were they actually trying to

you know depict for us and it's a

celebration of that and so I can say

that in the center where we're heading

back over here there was sort of like a

little merchant area where things were

going on and people were trading things

or selling things you imagine these

boats are all coming in now back to like

you know now we go to a shopping mall

and we shop for what we need but here

you have to picture these people came

right up to the edge of the water to buy

what was coming in from ships around the

world and each of these ships if you

look closely they very different details

on them so they're from different

countries and different locations and

I'm sure there's some ship builders out

there who can tell us things about this

painting that would I'd love if you'd

call in let me give you our number we're

at eight five five nine eight three five

four eight three you're at live art

tv.com you're looking at a painting by

an anonymous artist it's a 17th century

oil painting and it's an oil on canvas

this is the Piazza San Marco in Venice

it's done after canaletto its overall

dimensions are 29 by 37 inches and the

campus is 27 and a quarter by nineteen

and a half this piece is estimated to

bring 25 to 35 thousand dollars and it's

worth it it's a beautiful piece you have

to take a look at this piece and dive

right in there's this wonderful boat

here take a look here for a moment and

look at the people on this boat they're

offloading some of the goods so these

are the local people so they're dropping

their Goods onto this boat which will

probably go to a distant land it's quite

a large boat there's some people on the

boat all sailors making their adventure

so it's a little bit of an adventure it

doesn't seem it's interesting to me that

this piece of the painting although very

exciting because of all the black lines

and the blue water and the orange sails

it's very exciting to look at but it's

also it's also sort of a corner of the

painting it's a tiny little piece over

here where the whole painting is

celebrating this the buildings and the

temples and there's a church in the back

background here that also comes up

around the corner and then you come up

all the way up to the front come all the

way up to the front and you have all

these people in the sunlight of the day

and so you can see at that point you get

up into this this palace that's what it

the word I wanted earlier I said castle

I was thinking Palace this is a

beautiful Venetian Palace with all the

detail and filigree work that was based

on Moorish architecture and borrowed

from it and then Italian aided along the

way so that it was brought into Venice

and if you look up in here there's all

these wonderful patterns and details in

the painting

unbelievable detail of all the

architecture and the carving and up into

these kind of triumphant white bits at

the top as it sours above the whole

painting and I really do believe this is

the point of the painting is this

celebration of this castle and you know

what I'm thinking that the palace this

might have been its gonna stick and

stick and stick but I think that this

palace

I think this palace must be the point of

this painting and then how does a palace

get made a palace gets made because a

very wealthy person wants

to celebrate what they've acquired the

the wealth that they've acquired now

wealth which is interesting to me is not

actually acquired by keeping it but by

exchanging it right if we leave a pile

of gold in a room it doesn't do us much

good but if we take that pile of gold

and we buy and sell with it and we

invest it and put it places it actually

moves through the economy so it's

interesting to me that this painting is

a celebration of that wealth in the

palace but it's also celebration of the

trade that needs to go on on those boats

that go out into the world and the

people that trade with those paintings

and you know in the background and then

you have the temple in the far distance

where we basically feed our spirit and

so I look at this painting and it's got

a whole world to it that we experience

and most of us we go to our jobs we do

what we have to do in our lives but we

don't think about how we connect to all

the other pieces and here's a painting

that's actually talking about all those

connections that's pretty amazing and

it's and it's clearly so crisp and vivid

that it's saying it's saying something

about it that's very positive it's

saying something about it that isn't

questionable but is kind of an honor of

it it's celebrating it in a noble way

and we're gonna see some noble men I

know today as we move around so it'll be

interesting to see how that comes across

right now I think we're gonna go on to

the painting of Venice one other

painting so we'll find our way over here

and there's this wonderful piece that is

unusual and crazy but it looks like we

almost have the same palace you'll see

these little check marks and stuff we'll

get into in a minute but look at this

piece this is a textured acrylic

painting on canvas this is a crazy

painting it's an unknown artist from

Venice depicting Venice in the 10th or

11th centuries the painting is overall

framed 55 55 inches long by 35 and a

half inches high and that's 24 on the

canvas - 48 on the length of it this

painting you will not believe me it's

estimated to go for 800 to 900 and $50

800 to 950 and it is spectacular when

you get in here you're gonna see some

crazy stuff in this painting I want you

to zoom right in real fast we'll zoom

out in a minute but zoom right in here

look at this crazy piece right here

this dark panel and zoom all the way in

as close as you can get to the roof

right here and I want you to see

something like you you all are at home

watching TV I want you to consider give

us a call at live art tv.com I mean

sorry that's where you'd find us on the

web if you're gonna give us a call pick

up the phone

eight five five nine eight three five

four eight three and let us know what

you think but I want you to look at this

because you don't have the you don't

have the excitement I have of sitting

right in front of it

this is incredibly beautiful painting

there are strokes of palliative knife

painting up up this way and then there's

these lines that are done with um

they're called riggers our IgG er

riggers there are these unusual brushes

that are used to paint very long lines

that are very very thin and then paint

has been applied so thickly that there's

a moment where the artist has scraped it

away and created grooves in the painting

this is on canvas it's actually soft and

moves but it's it's it's the detail and

the bizarre kind of combination of

colors that are incredibly beautiful

like um it's hard to describe it's

almost like the the Scarab of a beetle

it's got this iridescent sort of

shimmering quality up in here and you'll

see it I mean there's live it's ten

times better than it is on the screen I

can tell you that right now there's this

like fire orange kind of like a mini

sunset happening right here into this

underwater world of turquoises and

magentas and then up into like a emerald

green all up on this side and then it

comes down into this deep dark purple

and then down into these wonderful kind

of patchwork like calico cat patterns of

browns and oranges an incredible life in

the paint you rarely see painting this

alive and I think that that I I can't

even believe myself that I think the

estimate on this painting it's the range

that we're estimating it'll go for is

what 800 to 950 which I don't believe

myself may be buying this one so zoom

out for a second let's take a look at

this whole painting and try to decipher

what's going on there's a lot going on

here and very different than the last

one it's nice to have the comparison

between the two for a second because

this painting look at this you have this

bizarre sort of quiet

quite why do I use the word bizarre

twice I wonder what a bizarre is to me I

guess a bizarre is another celebration

of life but it's weirdly quiet here this

is like early morning I bet you it's

early morning because the water is so

still and you can see back here we've

lost the horizon line almost like it's

just ether you know the sky's going up

and there's this quiet moorings the

moorings are down here where the ropes

are tied there's a couple people on

boats here and there but I'm seriously I

know there's honestly one person in the

painting so the whole paintings got to

be early morning you're left alone out

here in the water to contemplate it's

almost like being on a lake in the early

morning it's so chill there's only one

part in the painting where I think it

gets absolutely crazy and I can't wait

to discuss that because I think that's

our renegade runaway boat and it's right

in the center it makes me again think

what's the theme of this painting

because there's this wild sail here and

again I'm gonna stress I wish I give me

a call eight five five nine eight three

five four eight three or go to live art

tv.com and leave us a note you can email

us at info at live art tv.com info at

live art tv.com and let us know what

you're seeing here what's exciting to

you I mean look at the water down there

look at this this is you you almost can

dive into it you can go right through it

I feel like my hand could go right

through the painting and you wouldn't

believe the fire in here

this orange against this beautiful green

sort of copper color

that's a copper sulfate which is a

painting that was a paint that was made

from actual copper oxidizing and slowly

changing and then they would scrape it

off the copper and create pigments with

it and that's what was going on here is

these to this day they still use a lot

of copper based paint to paint paintings

like this that are so intense the other

side of it is the intensity of these

colors is offset by some of the

neutrality of these colors which are

very soft and those are earth pigments

these are all pigments that are dug up

in the earth and actually strangely

enough they're dug up in places like

Venice and just west of Venice and

that's where all this pigment comes from

in here it's called burnt sienna it's a

little southwest of Venice if you look

on a map but you'll see the cns and and

then you come out as we're coming out

I'm noticing look at all the energy down

this kind of it goes from this beautiful

water to this electric sort of violet

and wait till you see this live this is

a magenta purple violet down here very

beautiful in contrast to the green above

it you know you've got this beautiful

green down to the magenta here and

pretty spectacular this this is this is

there's no part of this painting that

isn't exciting to look at it's

wonderfully painted it's got a crazy

energy to it that you won't believe when

you see it live and I think what I want

to do I'm looking around thinking you

know what I want to do back out for a

minute let's look at the whole thing

because I want to think about the story

of this a bit more what do you think's

going on here

what do you think this artist was

thinking about when they were painting

this obviously they're painting a

village a very special village Venice

but what are they painting is the boats

in the water at sunrise a quiet morning

and then you have this one boat on the

far side it's kind of crazy right that

one

let's stay wide and then you have these

moorings moorings hold boats they are

safety they're symbols of something

being sure being okay and so what's

interesting to me is that the artist put

us the viewer on the side of the

moorings so it's basically that we're

behind a row of moorings in the front of

the painting the moorings are all the

way across the whole painting right and

they're threaded together so they

protect the whole painting the whole

painting is kind of contained by these

moorings and then you look at it and you

think well then what's inside the

moorings is this one boat sitting there

which I believe is the boat we are

closed most closely related to and it's

pretty adventuresome the boat is a

little bit crazy it's got a lot of

energy to it so I think I'm on some type

of crazy adventure when I get inside

here right it's like Swiss Family

Robinson or the Caruso's and then it

spreads out into this whole village and

the village is lively too not not

notwithstanding some some pauses here

and there but it's pretty lively and the

whole place is a festivity now this

painting unlike the last one we were

looking at which is very crisp and sort

of regal this one is a party there's a

lot happening

here that gets your spirit going and

makes you think about things that you

want to do with your life I think I want

to you know I'd like to go on some

adventures experience some of the beauty

of waking up in the morning and the

solitude I come down into as I go down

into the village you know there's some

activity here with the contrast of the

lights and the darks here right there's

some beautiful contrast in this painting

and then you get down a little bit

further into the village and you end up

in this kind of quiet little part of

town right here that goes out to the

sunset right it goes it almost

disappears the end of the village drops

off and becomes nothingness and goes

into a smoky sky this beautiful sort of

pillowing billowing smoky sky up into

the distance and you just ride the wave

now what we're gonna do is zoom over to

the left a little let's come over here

I'm gonna cut in front of you there's

this fantastic church over here which is

very well-known in near San Marco in

Venice and it's hard to describe what's

happening here because it's it's like a

world it's like looking at a map of the

water and the planets the sorry the the

continents so you have the continents

and the water all around them all

zooming through this thing and it's

interesting how they're tumbling in

space there's almost nothing that holds

this section of the painting together

there's many other sections of this

painting like right next to it that are

quite architectural and steady and

concrete this piece right here is to

zoomin and it's even more so in life the

center of this is all moving wonderfully

like a world unto itself you can't even

sit still in there it's it's so alive

the the colors are close to each other

for the most part but then there's

accents of complementary colors but for

the most part the colors are very close

to each other and they sort of they

almost flicker or play off of each other

you know in a in a very gentle way

there's a thing called spread it's hard

to describe but it basically means that

all the values are similar in something

and what it does is it lets your eyes

spread across those values because there

isn't a great deal of contrast here it's

not about darks and lights it's more

about that middle range which is very

comforting or

to us and I think it's interesting that

this is taking over this section of the

painting because the rest of the

painting is very very lively and active

even when it gets calmer in the water

and sort of deep it's got a such a

strong depth that it pulls you in

whereas when you look at this piece

right here it's kind of quiet and calmer

in contrast to these very very active

areas that are all over the place I mean

look at the look at the paint down here

this is this is unheard of

there's a strange combination of a

smooth kind of background shadow that is

the whole boat that whole green kind of

dark chrome green area and then you get

into these purples oranges siennas and

whatnot all across the front that are

dragged down and they're on top of the

screen which is a very unusual choice to

do this it's it's something I don't see

that frequently and intrigues me I think

again back to the story why does the

artist want to do this why do they want

to create this dark patch okay you could

say it's for a shadow right that makes

sense but then they do this which is a

reflection of the the shield but they do

it in such a way that it's inset in the

shadow very explicitly in this streak

it's and what it is to me is there's

stability here there's a big rectangle

and a rectangle inside of it they're

offering some sense of stability in the

madness of this painting this is when I

said the word bizarre earlier is just

that I mean there's a bizarre like a

carnival like an activity that's going

on that's incredibly alive and then

there's this anchor that is pulled out

of it and put almost in the center of

the painting it's offset a little bit

but it's very central to the painting

and you you don't even notice it at

first when I first looked at the

painting I saw the activity of kind of

diving into you know this triangle of

buildings and Venice and then all of a

sudden there's this block at the end and

that block and I think hmm that

definitely takes me into myself to

connect myself and ground myself and

pull me down and say hold up buddy pause

take a moment of calm and try to just be

with this painting which I think that

rectangle at the bottom does that gives

us the stability to come out into the

water which

absolutely calm and quiet and that water

goes on and on and on all the way into

infinity goes off into the distance and

I can't even find the end of it it's

like a dream right and then your hands

your mind your body can just reach into

that water and go forever even into the

the centers and here and here and just

drift off and then you come up into the

buildings and the buildings become what

life is about less about the spirit but

more about the daily right but life is

also about that spirit about the

wonderful energy in that water about

that strange kind of quiet anchoring

reflection here and then up into the

spirit the ultimate spirit which is this

boat in the center which seems like an

escape an adventure that we could all

look forward to I think and take off on

this boat so this is Venice and it's an

everyday person's view I think it's

something that we all can celebrate we

can all understand and it's very much so

kind of to my mind it's related to the

peasants we were looking at earlier but

it's the it's it's not the peasants on

land it's the peasants on the sea and

being out in the water and so it's the

people that take these adventures and if

I'm not one of them I would like to be

I'd like to be off on that adventure so

it's good to see this piece overall I'll

remind you again this piece is an

acrylic painting on canvas it's an

unknown artist it's a depiction of

Venice between the 10th and 11th

centuries overall it is 55 by 35 and a

half inches the canvas is 48 by 24 and

believe it or not the estimated price of

this acrylic on canvas original painting

is 800 to 950 which I cannot believe

because it is a spectacular painting I

can't wait for you to see it live

consider this for your living room but

really exciting painting to take home

and I want to take you on a journey to

another painting which is a very

different world from this adventures

let's go over here and find ourselves at

this painting of a noble a noblewoman it

looks like she's with her daughter

a very admiring daughter and the

painting is fifty-five and a half inches

by forty three and a half inches the

estimate is four to six thousand and

this painting is wonderfully painted

let's back out for a minute look at the

whole painting for a second you have to

imagine what's going on here again right

there's a mother somewhat protective you

can see she's holding things up and

she's got her daughter to her side her

daughter's admiring her so this is a

lesson this painting is about teaching a

young person to respect their elders to

respect their mother their mother is

looking out at us but she's she's very

proud and she's looking to the side a

little bit she's not if she was looking

straight out at me I would think of it

as more of an aggressive act but she's

actually to the side and so she's just

here with us and she's being present

she's got her daughter and she's

overlooking her land if you look in the

distance here you'll see that there's a

view of the valley and whatnot and the

land outside this is a common portrait

painting - oh the place that you are

she's not in a room she actually

oversees a land and to remind you that

they show us the land in the distance

and so you have these clouds in the sky

in this whole valley that's a nice piece

of this painting it's a very quiet piece

of this painting it's understated when

you get down here you just see the

fields and the mountains in the distance

which again it may seem like it's rather

you know like it's just a neutral

landscape but the point of it is they're

showing you that she owns everything

into the distance so she owns everything

from where she is on to the far distant

lands and that's the the message here or

the visual indicator is that this woman

has a lot of power she's dressed in this

wonderful olive green velvet it's an MPR

gown very high-waisted comes up high and

then drops down

and you can see some of the details in

the sleeve work gorgeous hands the hands

are incredibly well painted I I believe

that this is a this is by an anonymous

artist but I can't believe that the

hands weren't painted by somebody

well-known because they're very well

done if you take a look let's zoom in

right here for a second just look at

this hand look at this take a look at

this there's this is humanity at its

best when you get to see a painter

actually showing you the nuances of a

person this is this is not easy to do if

you've ever painted a hand to get

something that naturalistic and that

flowing and sort of gestural I mean it's

brilliantly painted there's no question

this is done by an accomplished painter

look at look at the fingers and the

roundness of them and the gesture of the

hand coming down that it comes over this

balustrade it's very naturalistic not

easy to do and if we back out you'll see

that that goes all the way up to the

children's hands and strangely enough a

very efficient use of paint in that hand

you come up and you see the mother and

her face let's you know let's let's stay

at the child for a second let's look at

her and see what she's doing now she's

pretty mature I would say for a little

little kid very well-behaved

she's asking her mother for something

and her mother's hand is they're like

pretty present but also keeping her at

bay for the moment as if she's politely

asking her to wait for us to do whatever

we're doing in the room and then she

hasn't spoken yet she's just there

waiting and I have to wonder what she's

about to ask she's in the room she's

touching her throat and so it seems like

she's got something to say that's closer

to her heart than her head but I don't

know what it would be what would a young

person have to say to her mother at this

point and I would love to hear what you

would think at eight five five nine

eight three five four eight three give

us a call here at live art tv.com live

art tv.com where you can purchase

original

works of art this piece is on canvas and

it's a noblewoman with her daughter I

would love to hear what you have to say

about it

you can catch us also by emailing us at

info at live art tv.com and this piece

is estimated to go for four to six

thousand now this is a very large canvas

and you can you can see it's fifty five

and a half inches by forty three and a

half inches and I have to remind you

that we're having an auction so this

a chance like I said on February 25th at

3:00 p.m. to get a hold of these works

for yourself to own them for yourself to

bring them into your home and there's

almost a lot of the pieces when you look

around are going for almost nothing to

my mind this piece is four to six

thousand and I tell you right now you

couldn't paint this piece in several

months of your life and so if you can

work for that rate which is about twelve

thousand a year go ahead but I don't

think most of us do so you probably want

to consider putting your heart here if

you have interested in the protection of

a child by a mother and in this case a

noble mother think about what that means

to you and why would you want to

celebrate that in your home this is a

piece that to me is very um very

personal it's it's a daughter's

admiration for her mother a daughter

looking to talk to her mother about

something that's important to her her

mother's pride and protection of her

daughter as she looks off into the

distance their land that they have you

know this is a beautiful piece that

celebrates a lot of the very personal

aspects of our lives this is not a

painting about grand moments in life

this is about a very quiet personal

mother and child moment together and I

think that all of us can understand that

if we've had children if we even admirer

love certain children we can understand

what it feels like to have this

experience a lot of people I think my

mother included is mentioned as she gets

older that she feels like sometimes

she's always number two and she forgets

what it is to you know she's not the

child anymore she's not the important

person or the person graduating but then

she

realized that she gets to be number one

by actually being the person who cares

for the people who need to be number one

right now and to take care of them to

tend to their needs and that's what this

painting reminds me of is this mother

who's tending to her child's needs and

protecting her child that's a beautiful

thing to celebrate and there's no

question in my heart that it's a good

thing to hold in our memories as an

artefact does for us art work brings

about much longer topics or

conversations and consolidates them into

a moment that we get to celebrate as we

do here so think about that when you

think about protecting this piece and

you know what I don't even think about

buying this for somebody else but this

is a great piece there's no question

that the subject pertains to many people

who admire their children love their

children their grandchildren and how do

you pass that on that understanding a

lot of times it's in the words that we

share with one another but it's also

when we don't have those words right at

our fingertips or our lips we have a

chance to share it in an image that

reminds us of that and that's what this

piece is doing for me is reminding me of

what it is to be that mom we didn't talk

much about what she's wearing here we

talked a little bit about the dress and

this strange what do you call it a shawl

that's up on her her chest and her

shoulders and I mean on a formal level I

have to say that it's clearly a green

dress and a red shawl which means it's

in contrast to each other so it's offers

a certain amount of visual excitement

it's patterned as well but I think about

the content which isn't form at all it's

about the meaning of it and the meaning

of it is something of connecting the

mother and what is her heart to her

daughter because her daughter is also in

red so there's this connection between

the two of them and the robe the shawl

I'm sorry wraps around the mother and if

you look at that it's it's it's unlike

the dress which is also around her you

don't really notice it but if you look

at the the shawl it's literally kind of

curving around her and wrapping around

her rather tautly and that means that

you're aware of the fact that it holds

her in holding her it connects that

notion that notion of holding something

or something being protected again

is held in the child that's also in red

so it comes all the way down into the

painting and then it holds them now the

architecture is doing the same thing in

this painting the architecture is

wrapping around these two women and it's

holding them so there's an architecture

that's in front of them thread like a

balustrade or a piece of is it a piece

of furniture no it's a balustrade it's

actually a balustrade out on a balcony

so this piece down here is holding them

and then there's a piece behind them as

well that's also holding them so there's

they're wrapped around by the

architecture they're wrapped around by

the clothing and they're allowed a fair

amount of autonomy in the space because

it's like I said earlier it was a quite

large painting there's a lot of room

around them as you move around them to

hold them in but hold them in rather

gently I mean it's not something that is

oppressive if you look at something like

the Mona Lisa she's contained in a box

this isn't so much of a box this is more

of a what would you call it almost a

plateau actually because they're on a

plateau up here right they're above the

land and you can see how high they are

above the mountains the mountains are

down here imagine if you were just in

your normal house and whatnot the land

would be way up here in your house the

land is down here because they are so

high up and it isn't so clear in the

beginning when you first see this

painting you think two people are

looking at you but these two people are

in a building that is several storeys

high and I would guess it's even on a

hill or a mountain because it's very

very very elevated you think what does

that indicate that indicates a certain

amount of pride it also indicates a

certain amount of I think power you know

these people are powerful people

although they're powerful I think in

their own realm they're powerful to the

world outside they're potentially

respected or admired by their village

and that's very quiet you don't see that

overtly in this painting this is

something that you're just aware of

because of what's happening in the

surroundings of the painting the context

the painting occurs in the context of

these two women you want young woman one

older noblewoman sitting together in

this image a beautiful image again

remember there's an auction occurring

live on February 25th February 25th at 3

p.m. at live auctioneers calm you can

there are really really reasonable

pieces and this piece I mean for example

is four to six thousand dollars is the

estimate you can bid whatever you want

feel comfortable to say or do what you

think is most important but when you

look at the details on this painting

there's no question this is an

incredible celebration of what it means

to be a mother and a child and have that

relationship with each other be it a

grandchild or a mother it's incredibly

beautiful and elegant and I seriously

take a look at some of the close-ups on

this painting rewind the tape if you

just got here and take a look and see

what's going on because you're gonna see

some beautiful pieces I think that this

piece portrait of a noblewoman will

disappear in a flash and it's better to

have it if you have a chance do you want

to go over here to the other painting

let's take a look and head to this very

unusual work of art look at this this is

sleeping nude with demon sleeping nude

with demon it's 52 and 1/3 inches high

by 62 and 1/3 inches this is one of the

largest paintings were looking at today

and it's one of the most exciting pieces

this is a really unusual painting it's

estimated to go for five to seven

thousand you can find us at live art

tv.com there's an auction on February

25th at 3 p.m. we're excited to see you

there give us a buzz and let us show you

what this is all about look at this

painting this is it's kind of reminds me

of Lucas - kranish the elder and I think

this artist was his name Len Minh this

is by Len Minh huh that's a beautiful

piece Lucas Cranach painted paintings of

well powerful young virginal women and

that's clear with this is you did this

virginal painting right laid out display

clearly looking up to the heavens and

away from us and then there's this

demonic creature

in the background who's looking at her

and I love I love that there's this

crazy demon right ugly in the female

form and then first this drape that's

discreetly put over her as if that

matters at this point where there's all

this craziness going on I think ya know

that's that's gonna go the way it goes

but um there's this guy and I have to

say for a demon zoom into the demon for

a minute this is a very friendly demon

this isn't somebody that looks

particularly demonic to me he looks he's

smiling he's got rosy cheeks potentially

his eyes are a little crazy but he's

okay and there's all greenery behind him

that's lively and friendly and

everything seems like it's gonna end

well as much as you may not want to

believe it

it's an unusual piece this is this is a

fairly old painting I'd love to get a

date on it but it's oil one it's

actually on linen it's on linen again

that'll last you 400 years canvas will

last you about a hundred years linen

will last you 400 years no question and

I see that we're going across the

drapery a bit here look at these drapes

where do they head they had right to a

breast or a belly under growing and

they're these fabulous gold draperies

they're they're crazy detailed I don't

think you'll see it on the on the TV as

easily but there's all these dots and

dashes and and you think about how do

you paint gold right paint is not made

of gold it's made of you know browns and

yellows and you take your you know

Crayola crayon set and try to color

something like this and realize what's

involved there's an enormous amount of

effort involved in this and

understanding of the abstraction of

material and object this is paint it's

yellow paint brown paint right white

paint gold paint whatever but it's it's

not gold paint it's red brown yellow

white orange you get the drift like I

said take your curl is try to do

something like this it takes an enormous

amount of talent to figure out how to

show something of a material and

abstract all the materials you know the

yellow paint blah blah blah to make

something look like a real thing to

bring it into a reality like this and

it's unheard of it's kind of it's

incredibly difficult to to do all these

crazy curved

and swaths and it's quite sensuous I

mean this part of the painting over here

is gorgeous there's a there's a weird

gray kind of a blue gray that comes

through here and some oranges and things

that are happening that are very very

strange to the eye it's really exciting

to see this and I have to think why did

the artist do again if we back out back

after the content to the whole painting

you have this you have this wild fabric

thing right going on and then you get

into this beautiful body and it's

incredibly smooth it's it's almost

inhuman it's it's like she's buffed like

a sculpture she feels like she's made of

marble or something and when you back

out all the way you ended up looking at

all the details of this it's beautifully

painted it's actually very quietly

painted very subtle and every single

piece of it is exquisitely attended to

there's not one piece of this painting

that doesn't have incredible attention

to detail it's this is this is again an

unusual painting because of the subject

matter but this was a pretty common

theme back in the late 1800s they used

to do things with our dreams and our

thoughts about life and and one of the

dreams that we would have of course was

of being young and and being fresh and

then having something kind of come up on

that subject that substance like here in

this case a kind of a kooky demon

character but he's such a friendly demon

it's hard to get worked up about him

but he's looking at this female nude and

she's very you know beautiful she's like

a carved marble but you come across come

all the way across her keep going up her

body up over to here and look at her

face she's in ecstasy and again it

doesn't even look like she's a real

human she looks like she's made of

something like a synthetic material like

a robot this is probably one of the

first robot paintings ever made I would

imagine and you have this wonderful face

and this hair that's one of the most

elegant pieces of the painting there's

there's a blush on her skin and she's

purple in blue and orange it's

unbelievable that you can get skin out

of this because it's it's almost like

she's like I said like a robot like an

otherworldly creature and it's hard to

imagine that that is

painted it looks like she's manufactured

or made I thought that was my hand for a

moment I thought that's very strange how

did my hand get in there I realized it

was that the lovely demon creature which

makes me feel good maybe I'm slightly

demonic but the painting again is

sleeping nude with demon it's an

oil-on-canvas it's 52 and 1/3 inches by

62 and 1/3 inches and I want to pause

for a moment and think about this

painting as an overall experience what

is the experience about okay I said

earlier I believe it's a dream because

that was a very popular thing to do I

don't think it's a reality it isn't very

frequently that you're lounging around

and a demon comes to visit you and you

sit there and and and you know dream

about the heavens you would notice it

you would you would notice a person

touching your knee you'd notice if you

were out nude you think what are you

doing when you're nude you're usually

about yourself and you're you're

relaxing I mean you're hanging out so

this is a dream but it's a very weird

dream you have to think it's it's her

dream clearly because she's in the front

of the image I don't think it's the

demons dream although I think we're made

to believe it's the demons dream because

it's you know the demon man looking at

the the beautiful young virginal woman

but it's a story it's a mythology and

the mythology is around this dream of

when our youth is taken away from us

it's about something that is precious

and fleeting and perfect

it's an idea right and she's like an

idea she's like a ghost or an apparition

she's not even a reality she's this

robot this this skin of a human that

looks like she's made up out of the head

and then she comes into creation and is

dreaming herself right the dream is

dreaming she's dreaming of herself and

hears herself with this demon coming to

to take away her youth to take away her

virginity and thereby you know move on

with life basically so to me this is

again a moment in time a very particular

moment when we have our our you know our

basically a youth but I mean in a mental

way like a synthetic youth and then it

gets projected out into the world or

taken into the world in a physical way

you know we start school we start a job

one day

and everything changes and so this

painting again is kind of that mental

journey and it's not a celebration as

much as it is an acknowledgment this is

an acknowledgment of what we go through

and the way that it was painted was an

acknowledgment of all the crazy

difficulties and and nuances of an

energetic life that is covered in

details and and nature and and rapture

of gold and it's a beautiful image of a

dream this is sleeping nude with demon

at this piece this is interesting you're

this is his wife Augusta his wife is

sitting in her living room probably in a

sumptuous sort of shawl and she's got

some flowers in the distance you'll see

the flowers over here and then we'll

jump into her shawl but she's got this

wonderful

shawl wrapped around her and if you look

on her sleeve over here it's a Paisley

shawl they were woven generally in wool

and then they would have had silk

details and whatnot this is a beautiful

if you know anything about Paisley's

give us a ring because this is actually

a very famous shawl pattern and I don't

know enough about the shawl history but

I look forward to hearing what you think

about it again you can call that number

right up there and give us a ring okay

right there give me a call eight five

five nine eight three five four eight

three let me know what you think of this

piece look at that look at the details

in this shawl they're all red and blue

and believe it or not there's incredible

beautiful jewelry on her hand and you

can feel the painting is actually on

canvas but there's a three-dimensional

surface and I'll tell you how this

happened it's interesting paintings at

this time were were painted with

generally with either flax seed or

walnut oil and those it sounds strange

but you hear you hear of oil painting

oil painting could mean many oils there

can be poppy seed oil walnut oil clove

oil and linseed oil linseed oil was one

of the most common ones it tends to be

when they say all painting what was the

painting but what's interesting is this

painting has one other technique in it

that Rembrandt like to use which was he

would create emulsions by whipping just

like mayonnaise egg into the oil paint

and if you mixed a certain amount of egg

yolk into the paint

you could get details like this which

you you won't be able to feel on the

television you can try but it's very

very three-dimensional and it allowed a

crisp under there you go beautiful

detail look at that look at that shine

look at that sparkle of that ring and

even her brooch there's this

unbelievable detail on this which is

unheard of in painting in oil painting

because you can't get it with oil

painting you have to have this is an oil

with an egg tempera emulsion so this is

an egg tempera emulsion right here that

was put on the painting that brought it

into three dimension and you can almost

feel it popping off the painting it's

like a starburst in the middle of her

hand

now you have to imagine the pieces also

her brooch here is incredibly detailed

and I it looks like a little floral

bouquet it looks like a it's got leaves

on it and then a beautiful

detail of flowers and it looks like

there might have been a portrait in the

center of it of a person it's it's hard

to make out but it's incredible you're

not even I mean you can get it on TV

actually you're getting it encouraged is

getting a phenomenal shot of this thank

you rich it's it's you can actually feel

it you can feel it like you're touching

it and and you can see a little bit of

up in her shawl or the collar but this

kind of detail is unheard of in

paintings it's a Flemish period painting

but it's a Swedish master and the detail

on those is only you're only capable of

getting that because of the technique of

an egg oil emulsion now I didn't know

that Swedish painters did this this may

be a rare moment in Swedish painting

where it actually shows up and if

someone's out there who can let me know

about that I'd love to know exactly what

was happening in Sweden at this time in

the world of painting but I can tell you

right now it's a very unusual situation

a very exciting a very exciting moment

to see and I want to to again consider

this whole painting for a moment this is

this is a bride or gust ax and we're

about to look at her husband the Admiral

in a moment but I want to spend a little

bit more time looking at her because of

some of the details on her if you I mean

you rarely it's if you've ever all

painted the the brushwork and in oil

painting is usually pretty pretty

evident and there was a period in the

1700s when people started painting with

no brush marks and come up come up right

into her face for a moment and look at

her expression what is she saying to you

wish I mean tell me she's not telling

you to hold on a moment you just hold on

a moment she's got incredible confidence

in her smile in her eyes she's just lit

up on fire she's got a sparkle in her

eye

she's she's excited about life and she's

got blush in her cheeks and she's done

up for the day she's got her hair all

dolled up and whatnot but I mean this is

an exquisitely painted face you're gonna

see as we zoom in details that are just

the shine in her eye wrapping around her

eyes some of the rosy blush she looks

like she's just just on the verge of

sort of speaking

an intense internal thought she's been

spending a lot of time inside her mind

and she's here with you she's not taking

her eyes off of you she is engaged in

being with you and being present with

you and I think in this day and age it's

rare that we have this kind of

experience with somebody somebody

looking at us so intensely to spend time

with us to actually sit there and be

present with us and now clearly this set

of paintings was about a celebration of

our marriage and so it's a husband and

wife and so I think there are things

like you have the flower bouquet in the

in the distance right here where she's

she's decorating her house she's getting

ready you know she's got her shawl and

she's warm she's out here for you but

she's it's a very um it's a very

heartwarming painting to me it's not

she's not somebody who's staring at you

and and presenting herself very very

boldly she's sort of presenting herself

as a friend and she's saying to you you

know Here I am this is who I am and this

is what it's about

we're together my husband and I I think

that this painting would probably hang

to the left of the one we're about to

see she's gonna be on the other side but

she is welcoming you to come here but

there's a very unusual look on her eyes

and this is a look of somebody that's

very assured and it's almost like she

has a secret it's like she wants to tell

you something as her friend about maybe

about her marriage maybe about her

husband maybe about life in general but

she's got something on her mind and

you're about to find out what it is her

husband may be a very different story

we're gonna take a look at him this

painting is the framed portraits of

vice-admiral see our northern school and

his wife Augusta and these paintings are

selling for 40 200 250 600 is the

estimate this is an auction that will

happen on February 25th at 3 p.m. at

live auctioneers calm you can also find

us at live art tv.com and this is a very

exciting moment to pick up paintings of

this caliber incredibly well painted you

can look at them yourself look at all

the zoom ins the details are tell the

whole story and there's as we're seeing

here some very rare moments with seeing

egg oil emulsions egg tempera oil

emulsions on oil painting which i think

is pretty unheard of if you

want to I don't know if we want to go

over here and take a look at this

painting this is the actual Admiral

himself and this painting again oil on

linen I think yeah yeah the Vice Admiral

1791 whew

1791 now that's some time ago

beautifully painted take a look here

take a look at overall he's in his

Admiral I wish I knew the whole story of

the Admiralty of Admiralty of Sweden but

it's a tough one for me

he's obviously in front of some historic

buildings in Sweden a bit of the village

in the background some trees and whatnot

and you've got to imagine what's going

on here I don't know what what what he's

he's in his study the drape is pulled

back he's reading his books and whatnot

he's got quite a look on him I'm

wondering what do you think that's about

what do you think he's doing hmm

what is he thinking about this is

interesting he is so quiet he's so

focused trying to think what is this man

you know what's funny he has a similar

expression to his wife I just realized

they have a bit of a dreamy look in

their eyes like they're both focused on

something beyond us and yet very

self-assured like there's this clarity

in them I'm surprised to see how much

his eyes don't take a note away from you

I mean they're staring straight at you

and he's got this funny little grin that

lets you know that he's in the know

whatever is going on everybody knows but

us and we're sitting here waiting it's

like a I guess it's a bit of a mystery

you know to figure out what's happening

and why it's happening I'm looking at

him I'm trying to think if I was to feel

like somebody like this and feel this

quietness what would actually be

happening would be an internal kind of

quandary something of a like a it's

funny though it's totally the marriage

day I mean I feel like this is this is

one of the best portraits I've ever seen

of an early marriage you know like the

the right before the marriage occurred

or

right after it occurred but just right

around that time when you're getting

married and everything is so new and

exciting and you're you you know you

have no doubt you're fine everything's

good but you have this feeling of like

what's going on what am i doing

you know and muammar exhibiting a great

deal of assurity

but then the assurity slips into the

sort of magic like kind of wonder or

springtime glow you know there's like

there's this like I don't know if I can

even do it it's like it's like he's he's

got this it's you know what it is it's

kid like wonder there's kid like wonder

on his face which surprises me I guess

because when I first look at this

painting I think of an admiral you know

a serious person all up in his it is

dress you know uniform and he looks

superficially he looks like he would be

a very serious person because of those

clothes but he has this wonderful

childlike spirit and that's what's

surprising about these paintings is

they're just representative of who they

were as individuals it's representative

of the day of a wedding and a marriage

and that's what I'm seeing in the

painting that's surprising me and I

think setting me off now if we dive into

some of the details of the painting we

could look at things like this again

this is painted as exquisitely as

Augusta his wife's jewelry was in the

last painting it's it's it's it looks

like a star like a victory star and I

wonder what it was like a might be like

a Purple Heart type thing for Sweden

again if you're watching and you have a

phone right near you give us a ring

especially if you're from Sweden at

eight fifty five nine eight three five

four eight three we'd love to know what

that star represents we are at live art

tv.com there would be a live auction at

live auctioneers calm on February 23rd

25th sorry at 3:00 p.m.

and we'd love to hear what you see in

this backing out we're gonna see some of

the details in this painting there's

these epaulets that are up on his

shoulder and then wrapped around he's

got several stars up here stars up on

his collar and he was a pretty important

Admiral I'm wondering what some of his

accomplishments were if you know of this

fellow Vice Admiral see our nordenskjold

please let us know and I'm gonna spell

nordenskjold so you can write it down

and

Oh our de n sk j o LD once again and ORD

e NS k j o LD and his wife augusta who

he looked at earlier i love this picture

we're zooming across the top of his hair

it looks like a trip on a boat right now

he's just zooming through as we move

along there's this wonderful

architectural detail on the distance too

and then some natural natural trees and

coming down through the painting you

have these sparks and electric qualities

of life down into the epaulettes looks

like some fireworks and then you come

down into the books in his study you can

see the books and he's sitting in a

study there's a little bit of a oh

that's funny there's another kind of

Purple Heart type cross down here next

to this hand there's another little

emblem I don't know if we can see it if

we go down far enough but oh you know

what it is

it's not in his hand this is a piece of

the dresser that he's leaning his hand

on and then he has some buckles on his

belt and whatnot and then his actual

details on his sleeves there's beautiful

details of the embroidery and I don't

know if we can see it online but even

the buttons here every details painted

into the buttons and the the painter had

changed the painting several times

making different decisions to refine it

and clarify it all up in here you can

see some of the ghost images of the

earlier painting again

nicely done hand if we back out just a

touch you'll see some of the details in

this and it's it's one of the hardest

things to paint in life is a hand

because there's a it's weird we all know

when it's wrong but we don't know how to

make it right and and here they're very

right there's a back of his hand curved

around and his hand pulls under as he's

holding the he's holding the cabinet

that's in front of him he's got his hand

kind of wrapped around it I've I wonder

if that's not a nervous clutch of

excitement and wedding day because he's

down in here and they see and look at

the look at the age on these buttons the

life that he's led in this vest you know

it feels like a real person has actually

been here this is incredibly detailed

you can see it I mean it's it's so

evident that there's this beautiful kind

of rumpled fabric

that he's been wearing out on his boat

you know and fighting the wild fights

that he had to fight it's hard to

imagine that this man coming back to his

wedding day was actually out fighting

doing some crazy stuff he's got such a

kid look on his face you know the look

of youth

definitely a celebratory painting you

know when you look at when you look at

an overall painting like this you have a

man sitting in his study it's got the

curtain pulled back he's got the view of

the town and it's like us nowadays

having a snapshot taken but imagine a

painting like this took somebody several

months to complete and to actually put

all the details in did these are

original paintings these are paintings

this painting is from the late 1700s and

you have to imagine what was a person

you know going through at that time to

invest in a painting like this this is

an admiral the he asked to have this

painting painted and the one of his wife

that we were looking at earlier for us

to admire and to last for a lifetime and

when you buy a painting like this this

painting the pair is estimated to go for

42 to 56 hundred that's incredibly

reasonable I imagine it'll go for more

because it's probably gonna go to a

Swedish family who knows this people and

probably celebrating what it means to

have that first love and that childlike

innocence

his name is Vice Admiral see our

nordenskjold and his wife Augusta you're

killing me CR Norden skull and his wife

au gusta that's a complex rather a

Swedish name but I'm sure from Swedish

people it's a rather easy name to

remember so let us know if you know

anything about some of the Admirals

awards and honors that he's wearing what

the actual epaulets mean we'd love to

hear from you again you can go to live

quarter

by thirty seven and a half you can see

the size of it just standing next to me

tv.com is having an auction at live

auctioneers calm on February 25th at

3:00 p.m. we look forward to hearing

from you seeing you there don't forget

it February 25th 3:00 p.m. now this

young woman she's spending some time

quietly with herself she's reading and

she's out in the field she's got quite

the view of the village I mean of the of

the the forest in the the mountains and

she's way up in the air she's up on this

I mean look how tall she is sitting up

above the village and looking out on

this town but she's kind of a an

interesting character to me this reminds

me of my friend Jennifer she's a very

introspective person an incredible

painter herself but Jennifer is

incredibly considerate she's somebody

that really takes the time to listen to

you and when I look at this young woman

she looks like somebody who's just

waiting for you she stopped her reading

put her book down for a moment she's

still holding her page and she's

thinking what did you say and so she's

leaning in I think

all known a child like this somebody

that's less like the child we saw

earlier today playing with a dog and

racing around but somebody who wants to

be with themselves a little bit and have

some quiet time that's what this young

woman is doing and she's sharing a pause

with us which is nice very nice

she's got this wonderful kind of

expression I don't I always have to

imagine for me it's hard to imagine what

these people are thinking until I become

them for a second sounds strange I know

but if you become them for a second and

you lean in and you think how can I make

myself into that person right very

different person than we saw in Augusta

the last woman that we saw here was the

Admirals wife the Vice Admiral sorry she

was very self-assured and had kind of a

quizzical look in her eyes this woman is

more pensive she's listening to you and

she doesn't have a lot of story inside

her to tell you right now she is

currently listening to you and that's

what's most evident in her face is that

she's receptive and she's just taking a

moment to feel and hear and not really

think about what you're saying as much

as as just absorb it and I think

listening is a skill that we've lost in

the modern era because we don't listen

to each other that much we're talked to

all the time and things are sort of

barking at us and so here's a chance to

pause her dress is also indicative of

that it's very gray it's it's got a warm

kind of yellow tone to it in the golden

sections which is a beautiful contrast

to this kind of cool brown there's a

like a blue gray kind of pewter gray

that's in her her shadows of her dress

and but it's a quiet beautiful

complement to her face which it's just

it's almost almost like it's not there

it's like this thing that's a silent

partner in the in the conversation which

is is the wonder of her face because

there's quite a bit of energy up here

but it's so quiet that you think how do

you contrast that with something like

her dress which has to be ultra quiet

and then there's a little moment of the

Rose at her chest which gives you a

celebration but a quiet celebration I

don't know in this case it's like an

acknowledgement and that's also

something that's I think rarer nowadays

is a quiet acknowledgement this painting

asks me to take a breath calm down and

just be present with her right it's

almost like you don't just say that much

this would have been early 1900s when

people sat with each other and read

books and actually listen to each other

a little bit more and that's nice to see

here even the the quietness of the

landscape in the back and and and

there's some interesting moments when

you go through that landscape back out

and we'll back all the way out you look

there's something very unusual it's

gonna surprise you I bet go up to the

top of the landscape come up up up up up

up up up and you're gonna see at the top

there's this electric blue and it's a

very unusual choice and you have to

wonder if you look at the whole painting

again

why did that blue occur back out and

look at that blue and tell me what you

think that's about you know why would

somebody do that you have this

incredible swath of red coming down into

a kind of a burgundy cushion kind of a

purple burgundy cushion this gray dress

tiny bit of a pink rose you've got some

some landscape in the background that's

quite quite active but it's quietly

active its its pastoral you know you've

got your pastures you've got your green

mountains everything's okay and and then

you have this electric blue moment up

here and I have to think why did an

artist do that why would they drop in

this electric blue and it's in the

corner it's in contrast usually it's

gonna be in contrast to something on the

other side but you think how does that

hold together with all these other

activities and it's and it's unusual to

me it's almost the blue looks like a

gemstone the blue looks like something

that's deep but expensive and important

and you think why is it up there and to

me it's weirdly it's this it's this like

exciting contrast to the the recognition

and of her inward peace sort of a

recognition of the quiet that she has in

her and that she's sitting there

acknowledging us right and then there's

this activity in the background that's

going on that's quite electric and is

lit up and is all fiery and you think

what is

that you know why does that have to

happen when all this is happening down

here all this quiet it's because you

need contrast you need to see the

difference in something you need if you

have all this calm you need something

that lights it up and it gets a little

active in here her face lights up and

then there's this kind of screaming blue

in the corner that lets a lot of

attention come to it but it's so small

and it's tucked up in a corner that we

don't even notice that we first see this

painting but it is basically it's the

vinegar and the salad it's a little bit

of you know spice of life it's the

pepper it's something that gives it a

little bit of Drive so that you feel the

whole image now this woman again is the

portrait of a lady in green it's the

early 19th century American school

painting it's 32 and a quarter inches by

thirty seven and a half and it's going

an estimate for 1900 to 2500 and I have

to say that this is incredible you have

to go to live auctioneers calm and see

we have an auction running live on

February 25th at 3 p.m. you're going to

see these amazing works there's 200

works that you have to choose from but a

whole range of history and you wouldn't

believe it

put down your auctions get yourself

going give yourself a bit of a prize or

a present and think about the people in

your life that you love that might

appreciate something that's of this ilk

of an original work of art that's

meaningful has a deep story to it

something that the artist spent months

of their life working out and that

they're sharing with you a distillation

of life that you could share with other

people and celebrate and remind it use

as a reminder of what's important in

life

you ready I'm ready let's go let's take

a look this is one of the most

extravagant paintings of the day this

really is a spectacular piece this is

the French school an 18th century

painting of a maiden and cherubs picking

flowers this painting it's it's it's a

small painting you can see right see 11

and 3/4 by 16 inches 11 and 3/4 by 16

inches and this painting is very

delicate and unusual to see something

this small this is more likely this was

a study for a very large piece because

it's an important piece this pace is

estimated to go for 3,500 to 7,200 3,500

to 7200 which is incredible

you see the detail and the care that was

put into this painting and the historic

value of something that is actually

being studied to understand a larger

subject it's it's it's hard to for me

it's hard to explain like what value it

has when somebody's trying to understand

something they're looking at it and

they're not quite sure what they're

they're like their mind is kind of

projected onto the canvas for us to see

for a moment and they're figuring out

the relationships of things what they

want to say how they want to say it and

it's moving through us

well we simultaneously simultaneously

are looking at it it's kind of happening

to us and that's what's happening here

so if I come in here you'll see there's

this wonderful sort of maiden in the

middle right and she's got these cherubs

as I said picking flowers around her and

they're all coming up to her now this

has to be a Rite of Spring some-some

moment when we're celebrating a

mythological moment in our history

there's this great little guy down here

tumbling off to the corner he's less of

a less of an important P less of an

important fellow but more of a quirky

little guy and I look at him and think

oh what's he about in this whole story

right

he's sort of holding the world up and

he's resting on a little cloth his

little belly and his butt is sitting on

a piece of fabric that's holding him up

and it's he's protected this little guy

down here is protected from all this

activity that's going on now he's

protected from the rites of spring in

the beginning of spring which is not a

bad thing to be protected from but why

would you need that you know I think

what is he representative of and my idea

I believe is that this is a lot this is

a lot to take on and so you come into

this little fellow and you can calm down

you know you can come into a little

central area and sort of rest for a

moment now he's it looks like his legs

are hanging off the edge of a cliff

which would be the edge of the grass and

then this rocky cliff here at the bottom

you think what is he doing down there

what does he mean right he is the

support he's the support that we need

before spring he's the winter before the

life begins before we start picking

pieces out and appreciating them before

we go up and start our journey into the

heavens where we

to the greatest things in life what we

aspire to and then we have this moment

right where you look up and you and you

see her face she's you can hardly see it

on the camera but you can see it she has

a halo around her head and it's

incredibly delicate now it's

unbelievable that you could pick up an

originally painted work of art that's

from the 18th century French school 18th

century you're talking hundreds of years

old and you have a painting that is

going for an estimated 3,500 to 7200 you

rarely get a chance like this to pick up

a work that is this exquisitely painted

I mean the scale you can see my hand but

it's 11 and three-quarter inches by 16

inches the details on something like

this are incredibly nuanced and tiny her

hands are absolutely perfect when you

come into this you're gonna see you will

not be disappointed it's it's a rare

opportunity to pick up a piece of work

that is so exquisitely painted and

detailed and and what is important to us

as artists I think in people is that the

that life is attended to right look at

the attention that's put on these two

flowers that they're holding that he's

got he's flying up to greet her and then

there's this wonderful bouquet that

she's presenting to him you know flowers

are being picked for her this is a this

is a great celebration of spring

something we're all looking for in the

winter right now right a little relief

from the the crazy colds some of the

stability we find in spring showing up

every year stability would be a good

name for this painting although it'd be

a boring one but maiden and cherub

picking flowers is the name of it we are
