Adolf Seel SQUIRES in the 15TH CENTURY
MASTERPIECE ADOLF SEEL „SQUIRES IN THE 15TH CENTURY“ Oil / Canvas Size: 42 cm x 34 cm In original gilded wood / stucco frame Signed on painting „A. Seel“ as well as signed on the frame backside „A. Seel in Düsseldorf“ Shown are two distinguished and richly dressed young men, one sitting in an armchair, the other standing next to him. The blond youth holds a rose arrangement in his left hand. The scene takes place in a splendidly decorated room. On the table, which is covered with a heavy velvet blanket with double eagle coat of arms, stand a silver wine jug, bowl and crystal goblet. It is possible that Seel allegorically represented "Germania" (the blonde) and "Italia" (the dark-haired one). Such allegories were quite common in the 19th century, for which there are other examples of artists of the Düsseldorf School. The absolute finesse, as well as the warm color of the painting are characteristics of the art A. Seel. The catalog page 87 of the exhibition „Ludwig Knaus“ of the Museum Wiesbaden 2014 contains a photograph of Adolf Seel (standing) and Ludwig Knaus (sitting). The reversed reproduction of this constellation on the picture presented here is striking. At the age of fifteen, Seel began studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Düsseldorf together with the painter Ludwig Knaus, also from Wiesbaden, with whom he had a lifelong friendship. From 1852 Seel lived for a long time in Paris and undertook study trips to Spain, Italy, North Africa, Egypt, and Palestine, which are reflected in his motifs. Through his architectural images and the finest performed genre scenes he became well-known quickly.
