The Classic Tradition : European Art from 15th to 19th Centuries

Several Baroque paintings by prolific French artists depicting landscapes, portraits, and religious scenes will be presented in the upcoming Lyon & Turnbull auction. The Deposition, by Eustache Le Sueur, reflects the Baroque style as well as the artist’s signature use of color and lighting. Also available is a portrait of John Julius Augustine by Sir Thomas Lawrence, a leading English painter of the early 19th century. Lawrence played an instrumental role in the founding of the National Gallery in London. 

Notable sculptures available in this auction include a work attributed to Gervais I Delabarre, titled Virgin and Child. This terracotta piece captures the mother’s face with classical details, while her child’s hand reaches toward her chest.
