    • Adolph Rinck (French/New Orleans, 1802-1895)
      Sep. 10, 2022

      Adolph Rinck (French/New Orleans, 1802-1895)

      Est: $20,000 - $30,000

      Adolph Rinck (French/New Orleans, 1802-1895), "Bayou Scene with Deer", 1877, oil on canvas, signed and dated lower right, "P.J. Ulrich, Manufacturer and Importer, New York" label on stretcher, 35 3/8 in. x 47 in., framed. Note: Son of a Hessian officer, Louis Nicolas Adolphe Rinck was born in Metz, France in 1802. He studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris in the 1830s and moved to New Orleans in 1840, where he established himself alongside Jean-Joseph Vaudechamp and Jacques Amans as a sought-after portraitist of the city’s elite, including Judah Touro, Charlotte Euphemie Mathilde Grevemberg, and Jean Baptiste Dejan. Rinck’s portraits are included in Louisiana’s most revered public and private collections. Rinck resided in New Orleans for over thirty years and eventually moved in 1871 with aspirations to travel back to Europe. Records indicate that he relocated to New York where he remained until his death 1895. The monumental painting on offer here is an incredibly rare and particularly impressive example of Rinck’s work in the genre of landscape. Dating to 1877, the canvas would have been painted after the artist left Louisiana, either from memory of his home in Algiers or perhaps during a return visit back to the South. Rinck masterfully renders the smallest of details within the expansive scene from the turkey vultures atop the tree to the silhouette of a menacing alligator in the waterway. His signature is framed by small whitecap mushrooms and palmetto plants. Weeds and wildflowers punctuate the foreground while a buck and doe draw the eye to the waterline. In comparison to the works of his contemporaries such as Richard Clague and William Henry Buck, Rinck’s interpretation of Louisiana flora and fauna is idyllic, highlighting the harmonic splendor of the undisturbed landscape and its occupants. The resulting masterwork is a tremendous addition to the known oeuvre of this celebrated artist. Ref.: Lewis, Richard Anthony. “Adolph Rinck”. 64 Parishes. www.64parishes.org. Accessed Aug. 9, 2022.

      Adolph D. Rinck (French/New Orleans, 1810-1871,

      Est: $18,000 - $24,000

      Adolph D. Rinck (French/New Orleans, 1810-1871, active New Orleans 1840-1871), "Cattle Along the Shore", 1845, oil on canvas, signed and dated "1845" lower left, 18 in. x 37 in., in a period frame. Note: Adolph Rinck was a prolific portrait painter in New Orleans beginning in 1840 In addition to his art career, Rinck also had a strong interest in agriculture and wrote a pamphlet about his ideas on the model farm. He bought a farm in Algiers where, by 1859, he practiced scientific agriculture. The painting offered here is a landscape depicting a herd of cattle at rest along the river bank. Palmetto bushes frame the composition in the foreground while a distant tree line shows the curve of the Mississippi River. This rare Louisiana landscape by Rinck shows his affinity for livestock as they are serenely depicted in a moment of tranquility.
