Revolutionary groups in Russia predate the early 20th century events by more than half a century. In the second half of the 19th century, various groups of "Nihilists" or anarchists attempted to overthrow the social system by eliminating the powerful upper classes. One group succeeded in assassinating Czar Alexander II in March 1881. They soon discovered, however, that beheading the monster only increased state repression. One reason these early revolutionary attempts failed, though, was the lack of a coherent alternative plan for the nation. One or more of these paintings may relate to these earlier movements, since the revolutionaries are referred to as "Nihilists," a term common in the second half of the 19th century. | ||
| "MONUMENTAL FLORENCE LANDSCAPE" BY GEORGE LORING BROWN, oil on canvas, signed and dated Geo. L. Brown, 1868 lower right. A panoramic bird's eye view of the Italian city of Florence, envisioned from just above Piazza Michelangelo. The city of Florence lies in a valley, rising into the Tuscan hills on all sides. This view is from south of the Arno river, which runs through the city and is crossed by many bridges, including its most famous - the Ponte Vecchio. In the century-and-a-half since Loring Brown painted this scene, little has changed in the dazzling birthplace of the Renaissance, and the major architectural and topographical features are prominently displayed, including Fillippo Brunelleschi's great Duomo Cathedral, elevated above all other buildings, as well as the imposing palace of the Medici family. Behind the city, one can see the hillside town of Fiesole and the snowy caps of the Swiss Alps in the distance. The sky shows a brilliant display, as the sun prepares its descent beneath clouds lining the horizon. In the foreground, two figures are placed on the hill, dwarfed in comparison to the majestic beauty of the natural and the architectural landscape. Florence is reminiscent of the harmonious landscapes of the 17th-century master Claude Lorrain, whose idealized views were governed by classical principles. In the original gilt and gesso frame, with a sanded water-spot effect in the cove moulding; 33" x 59" (w/o frame), 48" x 74" (w/frame). George Loring Brown (1814-1889) was nicknamed "Claude Brown" because of his striking similarities with the French landscapist. Born and trained in Boston, Brown traveled to Europe in 1832 and 1839, the later to Italy, where he remained for 20 years and became one of the most accomplished American artists living abroad. Upon returning to the States, Brown worked in Eastern landscapes as well, but returned to his first love, painting mostly European landscapes later in his career. | ||

| LON KELLER ORIGINAL OIL ON CANVAS ART WORK FOR COLLEGE
FOOTBALL PROGRAM, artist signed Lon Keller along left margin. Graphic painting of a punter just after kicking the ball, wearing blue and white uniform with gold numbers, on orange and white background, 20" x 30". Lon Keller (1907-1995) specialized in the cover art work for college football programs. He began with the Big Ten schools and eventually was doing them for nearly all the major programs in the country. This painting is likely for Michigan, since it is in blue and gold, and, therefore, would be one of his very early ones. Graduating from Syracuse University with a fine art major in 1929, Henry Alonzo, as he was known, took a job managing the store at the School of Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania and produced his first commercial work illustrating the house newspaper for Sun Oil. He then did some covers for the Keystone Automobile Club magazine. Keller's preferred art subject was women. In 1932, the editor of the football programs at Penn, having seen some of his work, engaged him to produce the cover for the Cornell - Penn Thanksgiving Day program cover, which featured a female football fan. | ||
