John Constable’s Painting & Sam Francis’ Abstract Composition Leads 500 Gallery’s Upcoming Auction

John Constable is considered one of the most influential English painters of the early 19th century. Associated with the Romantic movement, his works often portrayed trees, skies, and the English countryside. The upcoming auction, offered by 500 Gallery, will feature a noteworthy painting attributed to Constable. Blackberry Paysage features his characteristic landscape portrait presented in an elaborate frame. 

An Abstract Expressionist composition credited to Sam Francis also leads the listings. One of the most promising Abstract Expressionists of the 20th century, Francis took inspiration from fellow painters Clyfford Still and Jackson Pollock. The American artist was known for creating works by incorporating elements from Color Field painting, Abstract Expressionism, Impressionism, and Eastern philosophy. The framed artwork is signed and dated 1953. Other noteworthy lots include a zinc etching plate attributed to Pablo Picasso, artwork attributed to Vincent van Gogh, and an African tribal Dogon equestrian sculpture.
