Summer is in full swing and several new acquisitions have joined our collection. Pictured above is a 1992 painting by French post-impressionist André Brasilier (b. 1929), Les Cavaliers Bleus. André Brasilier is often inspired by pastoral scenes, music, the sea, and horses in particular for their beauty and empathy with nature: "I love life, and horses with their forms and their ardour, delight and intrigue me."

François Léopold Flameng (1856-1923)
François Flameng was born in Paris in 1856, son of artist and engraver Leopold Flameng (1831-1911). François Flameng trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. After completing his studies, he joined two older and very successful artists Georges Clarin (1843-1919) and Jean Leon Gerome (1824-1904) on a painting journey to Italy. He soon established a reputation as a society portrait painter; subjects included the French and Russian nobility as well as a full length portrait of Queen Alexandra (now hanging in the White Drawing Room in Buckingham Palace) and a small portrait of her husband King Edward VII.
