THOMAS FEARNLEY (attr. a)
Est: €50 - €70
(Halden, 1802 - Monaco di Baviera, 1842) Mucca nella stalla Olio su tavola, cm 32X25 Si formò tra il 1821 e il 1823 all'Accademia di Belle Arti di Copenaghen, poi tra il 1823 e il 1827 in quella di Stoccolma. Fu in seguito a Dresda dal 1828 al 1830, allievo di Johan Christian Dahl e si avvicinò all'arte di Caspar David Friedrich, ad esempio nella Caccia alla selvaggina di stagno del 1828 del Louvre di Parigi. Durante i soggiorni a Monaco (1830-1832) e in Italia (1833-1835) perfezionò nello spirito di Dahl il suo talento di paesaggista romantico, ma affrontò soprattutto piccole tele e gli schizzi realizzati in Italia sono tra le sue opere più finemente colorate, come nella Terrazza delle querce a Sorrento del 1834, ora alla Galleria Nazionale di Oslo. Soggiornò in Inghilterra tra il 1836 e il 1838 e nel corso di viaggi in Svizzera (1836) e Norvegia (1839) concepì le sue opere principali, come il Torrente di Labro del 1837, il Ghiacciaio di Grindenwald del 1838, la Betulla di Slinde del 1839 nella Galleria nazionale di Oslo. Nel 1841 il pittore si trasferì ad Amsterdam.

Willoch, "Thomas Fearnley," in Norsk Kunstnerleksikon, Oslo 1981, pp. 620-626. NOTE Fearnley traveled extensively outside his native Norway, at times in the company of other artists, such as J.C. Dahl, whom he met in 1826. After extensive sojourns throughout Scandinavia, Fearnley traveled in Italy for several years starting in 1832. In particular, he devoted the summers of 1833 and 1834 to painting the coast of the Sorrento peninsula. The present picture is one of these depictions of the cliffs overlooking the bay of Naples and is painted with the artist's characteristic vitality and bold use of color. This composition is close in style and date to the Coast Scene , The National Gallery, London (L824).

PROPERTY OF A GERMAN GENTLEMAN OF TITLE THOMAS FEARNLEY NORWEGIAN, 1802-1842 RYTTERE I LANDSKAP
Est: £10,000 - £15,000
PROPERTY OF A GERMAN GENTLEMAN OF TITLE THOMAS FEARNLEY NORWEGIAN, 1802-1842 RYTTERE I LANDSKAP (RIDERS IN A LANDSCAPE) signed and indistinctly dated Th. Fearnley / 1837 l.r. oil on canvas PROVENANCE Acquired by the family of the present owner circa 1850; thence by descent CATALOGUE NOTE Painted in 1837, following study trips to Germany, Italy and England, it is likely that the present work was executed in Norway upon Fearnley's return from the Lake District. Fearnley's teacher and mentor, J.C. Dahl (see note to lot 152) proclaimed that the artist's studies from nature formed some of his finest and most compelling works. In recognition of his ability Dahl conferred on Fearnley the title of Professor in Effect-Landscape Paintings and recommended his works to the National Gallery, Oslo. According to Dahl, in his landscape studies Fearnley 'gave himself, as he really was and what he felt in front of nature' (Maria Lødrup Bang, Johan Christian Dahl: 1788-1857, Oslo, 1987, vol. 1, p. 245.) Riders in a landscape is a fine example of Fearnley's moodily romantic landscapes of the 1830s that contrast the transience of humankind with the might of mother earth, a juxtaposition that drew on the example of Dahl.
