Henry Scott Tuke, born in 1858, this fine genre and portrait painter studied at the Slade in London. He also pursued an artistic education in Florence from 1880, in Paris between 1881 and 1883, and under J.P. Laurens. On his return to England he settled in his native Cornwall, first at Newlyn, already a centre for French cell plein-air painting, and later in Falmouth, where he bought a boat.

He first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1879 and also at the Society of British Artists in Suffolk Street, the New Water-colour Society, the Grosvenor Gallery, the New Gallery and the New English Art Club, as well as at many other prestigious artistic venues of the 19th century.

He was an industrious painter of male n**es, usually naked boys posed on sunlit beaches, and his many pictures and sketches of this type caused alarm at Victorian exhibitions. In turn, more cynical modern observers have dismissed Tuke’s work, although recent sales of his original paintings at auction have fetched remarkable prices.

Simon Antony Wilson: Fabstract — A Digital Dance of Light, Land and Imagination

Born in Bradford, England in 1967 and now living on Portugal’s wild Atlantic coast, Simon Antony Wilson paints landscapes, not with brushes or oils, but with light, texture, and digital nuance. Nestled in the heart of the Costa Vicentina National Park, Wilson draws deep inspiration from the untamed cliffs, rolling mists and shifting tides surrounding him; immersed in a love of wilderness kindled long ago in the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District.

Trained in graphic design and illustration at Art College, and schooled privately in the delicate art of watercolour, Wilson carved out a long career in design and branding, but it is in his fine art creation of Fabstract where this creative soul fully unfurls.

Fabstract is Wilson’s poetic exploration of space, mood, and memory; a series of digital paintings that capture not just landscapes, but the atmosphere that lingers within them. In works like Disruptive Silence, Moor End, Sea View, The Sea, Water Babies, and Winter’s Grip, he conjures moments that feel both ancient and current, where the light hangs heavy, and time feels suspended.

Each painting is hand-wrought layer by layer, stroke by stroke, using traditional techniques transposed into the digital realm. This is not graphic design, nor AI-driven art, but a meticulous, painterly process infused with decades of visual storytelling.

In Fabstract, there is vastness and intimacy, drama and stillness, a world half-seen, half-imagined. These are dreamscapes of earth and weather, where edges blur and mystery thrives.

Simon Antony Wilson invites us to join him in a dialogue between place and perception; between the physical and the abstract. Through Fabstract, he doesn’t just depict the scenery; he distils its soul.

Akseli Gallen-Kallela was born in Finland in 1865. He was Finland's most famous progressive artist and a major figure at the turn of the century in international modern art. He has become known as one of the leading practitioners of the international Art Nouveau movement.

The Art Nouveau movement flourished from 1890 to 1914, at which time Gallen-Kallela had already established his position as the leading Finnish national painter. He invented an entirely new formulised language, which brought to his famous paintings of the Finnish national epic, the Kalevala, a dynamic and unnatural intensity. At the turn of century Finland was a grand duchy, striving for independence from Russian rule. Gallen-Kallela's depictions of Finland's people, mists and nature played a key role in forming a national identity and at the same time his modern visual language developed in constant dialogue between Finnish sources of inspiration and influences from other artists of the period.

A larger than life character, Gallen-Kallela was the central figure in Karelianism in the 1890s. He studied in Paris during the 1880s and was inspired by his life there and by his experience of Berlin Symbolism in the mid 1890s to create his highly individual mature style, in which a powerful vision was expressed in a technique of strong lines and colours and flattened, stylised images.

Akseli Gallen-Kallela died in 1931.

Exploring Artistic Movements - Art Nouveau

At the turn of the 20th century, a wave of artistic innovation swept across Europe and beyond, Art Nouveau, or “new art,” reimagined the relationship between beauty, nature, and everyday life. This eclectic movement, born in opposition to industrial rigidity, embraced the organic over the mechanical, and the decorative over the austere. It was a visual language of curves, vines, and ethereal figures, blending the fantastical with the functional.

This curated collection illustrates the breadth and evolution of Art Nouveau, through original masterpieces and contemporary tributes. The black feline silhouette of Théophile Steinlen’s , evokes the bohemian spirit of Paris, while Aubrey Beardsley’s intricate pencil illustrations, delicate yet provocative, embody the movement’s elegance and asymmetry.

Nature was the great muse of Art Nouveau. Stylised florals by Kristine Hegre and the whimsical blooms of Anahata Katkin carry forward the movement’s botanical obsession, where flowers swirl not as mere decoration, but as dynamic design. Likewise, vintage advertisements for champagne and perfume speak to the era’s desire to bring art into daily life, gracefully elevating the commercial into the sublime.

Art Nouveau dissolved the divide between fine and applied arts, influencing not only painting and illustration but also furniture, fashion, architecture, and design. It was a total aesthetic, a living, breathing art form meant to surround and enchant.
In this collection, the spirit of Art Nouveau is revived; its elegance, its eccentricity, and its celebration of beauty in all things. These works are more than visual delights, they are tributes to a moment when art and life were inseparable, when every curve told a story, and when the world bloomed anew through the eyes of the artist.

Thomas Eakins (1844–1916) stands as one of America’s most compelling realist painters, renowned for his bold exploration of the human figure in motion and his unflinching devotion to truth in art. Born in Philadelphia, USA, Eakins trained at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, before studying in Paris, where he absorbed the academic rigour of French painting and a profound respect for anatomical precision.

Returning to the United States in the 1870s, Eakins brought with him a mastery of European technique, but turned his gaze toward distinctly American subjects: athletes, labourers, rowers, and boxers, figures that embodied physical strength, discipline, and endurance. Works like The Biglin Brothers Racing and John Biglin in a Single Scull (landscape and portrait) capture the intensity of sport and the meditative solitude of physical mastery. These paintings are not just studies in anatomy, they are odes to focus, determination, and the American zeitgeist.

In Swimming and Wrestlers, Eakins challenged Victorian standards by depicting the male n**e with unapologetic realism; celebrating the natural strength and vulnerability of the body. His boxing scenes, such as Salutat, Between Rounds and Taking the Count, offer a raw, theatrical look at modern gladiators, reflecting Eakins’ fascination with sport both psychologically and as a spectacle.

Eakins was also a pioneering teacher, advocating for life drawing and anatomical study at a time when such practices were controversial. Though often misunderstood during his lifetime, his work laid the foundations for American realism and remains deeply influential today.

These images showcase Eakins’ profound fascination with motion, masculinity, and the poetic drama of physical exertion. Through them, we see not just bodies, but minds focused, determined, and vivacious.

Aelbert Cuyp (1620–1691)
Master of Dutch Light and Landscape

Aelbert Cuyp was one of the most celebrated landscape painters of the Dutch Golden Age, renowned for his luminous scenes of the Dutch countryside bathed in golden light. Born in Dordrecht in 1620 into a family of artists, his father, Jacob Gerritsz Cuyp, was a respected portraitist, Aelbert initially trained under his father’s guidance. His early works reflect a detailed, naturalistic approach, but his style evolved significantly as he absorbed influences from Italianate painters such as Jan Both, and the Utrecht Caravaggisti.

Cuyp became particularly known for his serene river views, pastoral scenes, and majestic skies, all painted with a warm, glowing palette that gave his work a distinct sense of tranquillity. Although he rarely travelled outside the Netherlands, his ability to depict landscapes with Mediterranean-style light gave his paintings a timeless, idealised quality. His work exudes a deep affection for the land, often populated with cattle, herdsmen, or quietly bustling harbours.

Despite his immense talent, Cuyp’s reputation waned after his death, and he was little known outside Dordrecht for many years. It wasn’t until the 18th century, particularly in England, that his genius was rediscovered. British collectors admired his atmospheric light and serene compositions, influencing artists such as Turner and Gainsborough.

Rosenstiels is deeply saddened to hear Gary Bunt passed away on July 4th, 2025.

Gary Bunt, a professional musician who beat a number of personal challenges only to find that he had cancer, discovered painting as the best way to escape from what he describes as his “torment”.

Gary Bunt painted a naïve world, where simple pleasures are valued and cherished. Companionship and love are recurring themes and paintings often depict loving couples exchanging large red hearts or loyal dogs following their masters. This uniquely charming world evolved out of Bunt’s desire to create paintings that reflect the warmth and humanity of modern life. Thick, broad brushstrokes reduce figures to their simplest form and witty details draw the viewer into the painting’s narrative. Gary Bunt’s paintings have universal appeal.

Gary Bunt’s style evolved as an expression of his emotions and faith. His positive, affirmed approach to life compelled him to paint with honesty and integrity. In his series of paintings depicting Jesus Christ and his dog, Bunt used his unique style of painting to portray his very personal involvement with the Christian faith. With the series, Gary Bunt hoped to create paintings that convey a universal message of compassion and understanding.

Gary Bunt was a very successful artist, with sell out exhibitions in London, almost on an annual basis. His work is extremely collectable, and he enjoyed painting every day his nostalgic take on life.

Abstraction in Nature is a vibrant celebration of the patterns, forms, and textures found in the natural world, reimagined through the eyes of contemporary artists and photographers. This evocative collection brings together a diverse range of media, from the velvety intensity of a deep red rose captured in stunning photographic detail, to loosely painted watercolour studies of delicate blue petals. Stylised Impressionist fields echo the rhythm of the land, while bold pop-art florals burst with colour and whimsy. A striking image of a gnarled tree trunk reveals the raw, sculptural beauty of wood grain, contrasting with the gossamer intricacy of a spider’s web suspended in light. Rugged landscapes, abstracted by lens and brush, invite the viewer to look beyond the obvious and experience nature as pure form and feeling. This collection speaks to the essence of organic beauty; fragmented, abstracted, and endlessly reinterpreted through art.

Declaration of Independence

On July 4th, 1776, before the first firework lit the sky, or the flag flew freely on the wind, there was the written word — bold, elegant, and defiant. In the hushed heat of a hall in Philadelphia, a declaration was not merely written — it was born. Iconic words etched into parchment with the weight of generations behind it and the hope of a nation before it.
This was no ordinary document. It was a quiet revolution, composed with care, lit by the fierce clarity of conviction. Each phrase carved out the very soul of a new republic — not yet fully formed, but utterly resolved. “We hold these truths to be self-evident…” It was a line not just meant to be read, but remembered — carried through centuries by those who believed freedom was claimed, not granted.

Our museum-quality print of the Declaration of Independence pays tribute to the moment in time when ideals took tangible form. Every stroke, every curve of calligraphy, every weathered mark tells the story of daring minds and steady hands. It is more than a reproduction — it is a reverent echo of that historic July day.

Display it as a decorative, living fragment of history. Let it instil your space with meaning, remind you of the power of words, and reflect the enduring truth that liberty, once written, must always be lived.

This 4th of July, celebrate not only the fireworks and festivity, but the quiet brilliance of the document that started it all — where freedom first found its voice, and history was made.
