Knitch painting of an Italian noblewoman Item # 4380 This is an interesting oil painting because it is an interpretive copy of a very well known renaissance portrait of an Italian noblewoman painted by Raphael in the early 16th century. Her high forehead, headdress, and tapestry gown are unmistakable. I say interpretive because the artist, Knitch, painted his version of the Renaissance masterpiece in an abstract, modern way This item is in our antiques archives and is NOT AVAILABLE for sale.

Sabina Franklin ships in Ville Franche port 1869 Item # 4566 This painting depicts the Sabine, an 1855 American Civil War frigate, and the Franklin, a 1797 French Tonnant-class ship of the line (named for Benjamin Franklin), meeting in the Mediterranean port of Ville Franche in 1869. The Sabine was on a midshipman training cruise and the aging Franklin was assigned to harbor duty. This painting depicts the crews of both ships, and the beautiful port of Ville Franche. The painting is annotated at the lower left "Ville Franche" Dec 16 1869 Sabine. It is signed at the lower right Franklin W. R. May USN. The frame measures 44 and one half inches by 31 and one half inches, and the canvas measures 26 inches by 40 inches. This is an important depiction of American maritime history painted by one of the crew members. The painting was purchased from a New London, CT, estate, over 40 years ago. It was restored in 1998 by Lance Mayer and Gay Myers, the conservators for the Lyman Allen Museum in New London, CT. According to their notes, they consolidated insecure paint; removed a heavy grime layer and deteriorated varnish; mended three tears; relined the canvas; mounted it to a new stretcher; filled and inpainted losses at the tears; and varnished it. All processes and materials used are reversible.
