Landscape with Figures and Cattle

Oil on canvas. The work, signed Sorolla lower right and dated 1928, harks back to the style of Joaquim Sorolla y Bastida (1863-1923), the renowned Valencian painter who chose to reflect the Mediterranean light in the everyday scenes of his city, in a unique style known as luminism. His works are characterized by their plein air painting, depicting simple people often framed in fishing and sea scenes, capturing customs and traditions, as well as the freedom with which they reflect light and color. In particular, the urban beaches of Valencia, animated by numerous figures, including bathers and others, were a recurring setting in many of his paintings. In this work, the scene is indeed that of a beach, where figures with some cattle pass by, while beached boats and bathers can be glimpsed in the background. The work, which is effectively pictorial, despite being very close to Sorolla's manner and style, is not recognized as authentic by the artist's official archive. It is presented in a period frame.

Europa, XX Century

Slicer in Berkel style of good workmanship.

Oil on canvas. 19th-century Northern European school. In the scene, set on a barren, snow-covered plain with a frozen river flowing through it, a large horse-drawn sleigh is parked on the bank, carrying several people: a woman with a child in her arms is preparing to climb aboard, watched by the driver, while another female figure, holding her child by the hand, walks away across the ice. It looks like a Nordic public transport stop! The work is presented in a late-19th-century frame, which has several missing or damaged parts.

Dopo essersi lasciati alle spalle i resti ancora fumanti di Foulsham, gli Iremonger si sono dispersi per tutta Londra. Hanno bisogno di una nuova casa e sono determinati a trovarla. Strane cose cominciano ad accadere in tutta la citta: persone care che spariscono nel nulla, oggetti bizzarri mai visti prima e un'inquietante oscurità che sembra volersi ingoiare la luce del giorno. La Polizia ha spiegato le forze, ma saprà fronteggiare i temuti Iremonger? E quale sarà il ruolo di Clod: ribelle o figliol prodigo? La storia della dinastia Iremonger, edificata sui rifiuti, sta per concludersi.

Mario Einaudi
Leo S. Olschki editore

Trasferitosi negli Stati Uniti nel 1933 per la sua opposizione al fascismo, Mario Einaudi divenne un protagonista degli studi di politica comparata. I suoi lavori sui partiti politici, sui sistemi costituzionali e sulle politiche economiche dell'Europa occidentale rappresentano riferimenti imprescindibili per il mondo accademico. Il volume presenta alcune delle sue più fortunate pubblicazioni americane, in una raccolta che ne mostra la profondità di analisi e l'attualità dei temi trattati.
