19th Century Paintings
Our auctions of 19th Century Paintings, which are held in conjunction with the Old Master auctions in March and September, present a selection of significant works from the wide range of styles of this period.
The variety of genres ranges from salon and history painting, through classicism and romanticism, to plein air painting and the Barbizon School. Realism and Symbolism are presented alongside Naturalism and Impressionism.
You can find examples of all of the major 19th-century art movements in our auctions: seascapes by the famous Russian painter Ivan Aivazovsky, landscapes by Camille Corot, as well as works from the Munich and Düsseldorf schools and early Impressionism. Paintings by Carl Spitzweg and Arnold Böcklin find new owners at our auctions, as do works by Stanislas Lepine, Eugène Boudin and Ferdinand Waldmüller.
Our specialist, Karoline Weser, is available to appraise and value 19th-century paintings in view of a possible auction consignment.
We accept consignments until mid-January for the March auction and until late July for the September auction.
