BEVERLY, MASS. — Kaminski Auctions’ next sale takes place at the firm’s gallery on June 12 starting at 10 am. The auction features a selection of European paintings, including a painting in the manner of Rubens and paintings by Cape Ann artists from a Gloucester, Mass., estate.
Also, a rare and unpublished discovery of mounted Ottoman warrior combines a profoundly Romantic vision with Alfred De Dreux’s extraordinary talents as the leading equestrian artist of his generation. These are distilled into a highly charged and evocative image, which bears all the artist’s hallmarks of movement, energy and color, but draws for further emotional effect upon a multitude of artistic, literary and historical influences. This is one of De Dreux’s most exciting compositions and one of several Orientalist pictures executed by the artist. This work is unusual in that rather than depicting the Nubian horsemen, which typically characterize his paintings in this genre, the influence is primarily Ottoman. The painting harkens back thematically to Romantic works by Eugene Delacroix inspired by the Greek War of Independence and Byronic subjects such as the Giaour and Hassan.
There is also an extensive selection of furniture and furnishings from estates in Fort Lauderdale, Del Ray Beach, St Augustine, Fla., and Chestnut Hill, Mass.
