                      Chromatic Gallop (Johann-Georg de Hamilton)
“Johann Georg de - or ‘von’ as he came to be known - Hamilton was one of three painter sons of the artist James Hamilton. Originally from Scotland, by 1688 James Hamilton had settled his family in Brussels and established his reputation as a painter of still life. Like his two brothers – Philipp Ferdinand (c. 1664-1750), who became court painter to the Holy Roman Emperor Joseph I, and Karl Wilhelm de Hamilton, called ‘Thistle-Hamilton’ (c. 1668-1754) – Johann Georg spent his career as a court painter in Central Europe. He moved to Vienna in 1689, and after time in Germany working for Prince Adam Franz Karl of Schwarzenburg, returned to Vienna in 1718. 
As well as completing commissions for the Princes of Liechtenstein, it was at this time that Johann Georg was appointed Court Painter to Joseph I’s successor Charles VI, to whom the inscription on the rock in the latter picture of this pair refers. It was largely in this capacity that Johann Georg gained the sobriquet ‘the Viennese Wootton’ as he was, above all, a painter of horses and hunting scenes. He focused his attention particularly on the Emperor’s famous Lippizaners, for which Charles VI commissioned the building of the Winter Riding School in 1729 – until that time the stallions were trained in a wooden arena in the Josefplatz.”

1895 Litograph by Art Nouveau painter Fernand Toussaint (Belgian, 1873-1956), Le Sillon (the furrow).
Lithograph in colors on wove paper backed with japon, printed by O. de Rycker, Bruxelles.
Bonhams
"This magnificent poster, an artistic and lithographic tour de force, was Toussaint's first. It publicizes the magazine of 'Le Sillon' one of many artists' groups that bred in rich cultural ferment of 1890s Brussels. 'Sillon' means furrow, to make one's own way in the world, which was the aim of this group. Thus Toussaint depicts an allegory of the harvest of grain that will spring from his work. Credit for capturing the fine colour nuances of this delicious watercolour in soft tones, is shared by Toussaint's friend, O. de Rycker, the master lithographer (printer) of Brussels. (Rennert, PAI-XVII, 525) At the turn of the century Brussels was a major center of artistic creativity. Powerful artistic movements and groups, such as Libre Esthetique, Pour l'Art and Le Sillon, all of whom attracted avant garde artists from all over Europe, were based there.Amongst them, Le Sillon (the furrow) was an artistic circle of decorative realists. Toussaint, who was primarily a painter, created his first poster for the group and instantly achieved fame in the field. It is easy to see why. The result is a stunning and flamboyant symbolist poster, marvelously executed in warm, soft tones, with gently, though not over exaggerated, Art Nouveau curls. The simple image of a beatific woman, gently pulling aside some flowers which she is about to cut with her scythe, is fertile with meaning. Symbolically it depicts the artist making his own way, "his determination to express himself according to his convictions", it can also be seen as the members of Le Sillon clearing away the old style of art in preparation for the new style they are about to sow. The following year Toussaint created a poster for the Café Jacqmotte in the same style, and together these two masterpieces have become his legacy. (Swann, Sale 1945, 111) (x)

The awarding of prizes to the winners of the first Brussels salon of 1811
By Elisabeth Marie Delatour
Known for her pastels and gouaches, the Brussels painter Elisabeth Marie Delatour (1750-1834) excels in the art of portraiture and miniature. With this work, she immortalizes the first award distribution organized in 1811 by the Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts of Brussels. The ceremony is held in the large living room of Brussels City Hall, the current Gothic hall. Among the dignitaries represented are the prefect of the Dyle department (Brussels then part of the Napoleonic empire) and Duke Charles-Joseph d'Ursel, mayor of Brussels.
