Depicting cows and a herder in a pastoral landscape. Signed lower left. This work most likely depicts cattle from the Bresle valley, Normandy, where the artist kept a home and studio. Having a giltwood and gesso frame. Van Marcke de Lummen's obituary appeared in The Magazine of Art in February of 1891 and read: "In M. Émile van Marcke de [L]ummen, France has lost one of the most distinguished of her animal painters. Born at Sèvres in 1827, he was a pupil of Troyon, to whom, as to Corot, he owed a conspicuous debt. He was an indefatigable worker, and since 1857 the Salon has never been without a specimen of his skill. He received the customary honours and decorations. He was awarded medals in 1867, 1869 and 1870, and was appointed Chevalier of the Legion of Honour in 1872. At the Universal Exhibition of 1878 he received a medal of the first class." We would like to thank Howard Rehs of Rehs Gallery for his biographical work on the artist.

Emile Van Marcke, White Heifer, c. 1870, O/C.
Est: $2,000 - $4,000
Van Marcke, Emile (Flemish/ French, 1827-1890). "White Heifer/ White Cow." This young white "maiden" stands calm and confident in a pool at the edge of a lush woods. An extensive landscape adds depth to the upper left background. Circa 1870. Oil on canvas. Signed l.r. 10 1/4" x 14 1/4". With elaborate gilt frame: 22" x 25 3/4" Condition: Craquelure throughout consistent with age. Provenance: A distinguished private collector in Bethesda, MD since 1987. Born to an old Flemish family of painters in in Svres, France, Van Marcke spent much of his early career decorating porcelain at the well-known factory there, apprenticed to the well known animalier, Contstant Troyon. After the death of the latter in 1865, he came to be widely regarded as the leading animal painter in Europe, probably due in part to the patronage of Emperor Napoleon III, who invited him to paint at the imperial farm in Compigne. This gave him the opportunity to do plein air studies of cattle in their natural settings and poses, a subject on which he made his reputation. He gained significant Salon exposure and awards in the 1860s and 70s, winning first prize with three entries at the International Exposition of 1878, he thus acquired a considerable following among British and American collectors. Towards the end of the century nearly every important American collector boasted at least one of his canvases, among them: William Astor, August Belmont, Henry Gibson, A.T. Stewart, William Walters and more. Possibly the greatest of them all, W. H. Vanderbilt, had no less than three, including "La Fort," which features the same individual animal in the present work, and one titled "The White Cow," which could even be this one.* (For more information see vertical file on Van Marcke at the Library of the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C., that includes a photo of "La Foret." *Towards the end of the century nearly every important American collector boasted at least one of his canvases, among them: William Astor, August Belmont, Henry Gibson, A.T.
