Could someone help me identify an "Old Master" oil painting that I don't know the title or the Painter.
It is a 17/18th century(ish) country kitchen scene. There are children in the kitchen and a couple of dogs, the mother is on the left of the kitchen by the fire and the grandmother is in the background. The stable type kitchen door is partially opened and I think there is a farmer and possibly a horse in view.It is a dark atmospheric painting with lots of detail.
I'm sure it is a very well known painting that someone will instantly recognise.
Any help will be gratefully received.

I dont think that anyone will be able to identify a painting without seeing it. Is there a date, signature, gallery sticker or anything that may help identify where it came from or who the artist is??

The problem is there are too many paintings of this type. Nonetheless I'll take a stab at it... Below is an allegorical scene by Joachim Beuckelaer, at the National Gallery in London.

Thank you for spending time thinking about my request for help. The picture suggested is not the one. My picture is darker and of a different format.Although I can't give any more details than I already have, as I am going back 30 years using my fading memory of school art classes in the 70's.

I am going to plough through individual artists masterpieces on the Net, hoping for a lucky hit.

Stop wasting your valuable time trying to find out what your painting is. They have a lot of experts that can help you for a very, very reasonable fee.
I know, because they helped me, and the painting I found in a thrift store turned out to be very valuable. I wasted 2 years trying to find information out myself, and as soon as I called them - *she-bang* They identified it!

Try to keep replies on point rather than using them to promote one particular website. In this case the person doesn't own the painting, they're simply trying to identifying a painting they have once seen.

John Constable painted The Cornfield in 1826 and it resides in the National Gallery, London UK. It measures about 56" by 48".

I have a large canvas print of this that measures 22" by 28", it is of much better quality than the canvas prints that I have seen recently. I also have one of Renoir's 'Girl With Watering Can' that measures the same. I am not sure when they started making canvas prints but I believe these to be quite old. Mine also have wooden pegs in the stretcher frames. Wood is still used today.

Does it actually have a date painted on it? Do you think that perhaps this could be a canvas print?

I have an oil painting on canvas, mountain scene with a cabin, 24"x36", with unreadable signature of E.Lowle or E.L. Duke or something else...
It appears to be old, there are numbers stamped on the back of the canvas (156549). I don't know if that matters but the frame was made in Mexico and appears to be old, the stretcher bars seem newer and were made in New York. I am not having any luck uploading pictures here, but will be happy to send some. Thank you

I read your reply and would like to know how to contact someone to identify an old native american indian painting that I inherited from my father. There is no signature or name on the painting. It is very old and I am uncertain of the material that it is painted on and the paint does not look like an oil or aycrylic. My father purchased it at an auction. I appreciate any help to contact someone who might know.

Thank you!

I have two antique oil paintings that came from my mother estate. My father was in WW II and was part of the occupational forces after the war - 1945 to 1946. These are probably a French or Germany artist. I want to know who the artist was and value? I do not know how to send pictures, if you want to see them send me an email jimhuff117@gmail.com

Charles Roka (Róka Károly 1912-1999)
Charles Roka was a Hungarian painter living in Norway whose name became synonymous with an excess of artistic kitsch. Roka was born in Hungary in 1912. After he finished his studies on the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest he went to a European journey. In 1937 he finally settled in Norway, and lived in Bærum, outside Oslo until his death.
Roka attended one year at the Academy in Oslo. In 1939 he painted his first picture of the half-naked Gipsy Girl whom he had seen in Marseille a few years earlier. It is Roka's numerous variations of this Gipsy Girl which made his financial success as a painter, but misfortune as an artist.
Roka was despised by the art world, he was nevertheless loved by the people. He became famous for his numerous variations of the Gipsy Girl, exotic looking Gypsies in a pin-up style and sentimental portraits of children with their pet dogs. His other favorite subjects were Hungarian folklore, especially Gipsy people dancing csárdás.
Roka had several exhibitions in Madrid, Barcelona, and Lausanne and he was very popular among the average Scandinavian people. In 1982 illness stopped him working. In 2005 Haugar Vestfold Kunstmuseum held a summer exhibition under the title Prince of Kitsch displaying about 80 of his works. It was the first time that a venerable art gallery let Roka's works within its walls.

John

Good find, MP. Do you have a reference work for artists' signatures/marks, or did you do some fancy searching in Google?

John

Never mind, I thought you were replying to the most recent post and Charles Roca signed his prints "RC", being Hungarian (interesting coincidence, though).
