British born 1965
Established in 1971, Haynes Fine Art, a family run business, quickly
became the largest dealers outside London. With up to twenty four
million pounds worth of stock we are able to offer the serious
collector and trade buyer a vast selection of works by important artists.
The gallery has built up a strong reputation for selecting major pieces by
British artists, such as: John Atkinson Grimshaw; Arthur John Elsley;
Joseph Farquharson; Heywood Hardy; David Shepherd; Sidney Richard
Percy; and Alfred de Bréanski Snr, to name but a few. More over,
Continental names such as: Frederick Marius Kruseman; Frederico
Andreotti; Alexej Harlamoff and Francois Brunery are extremely well
represented.
Born in Westminster, London
in 1965, Tony Karpinski began
painting and drawing from the
age of four-and-a-half. Receiving
art prizes every year throughout
his school years, Tony went on
to study the techniques of Great
Masters such as Rembrandt
and Rubens. He was privately
commissioned to execute several
pastiches of Dutch Masters
paintings for private clients.
From 1985 to 1995, Tony worked
in advertising and publishing as a
commercial illustrator. Inspired
by the African wildlife paintings
of Wilhem Kuhnert, Tony took his
first trip to Africa in 1995 and his
first step towards a career as a
wildlife artist.
After many trips to South Africa since 1998 he has become firm friends
with Carl Olen the Head Ranger of the Kapama Game Reserve. They
have worked closely together where Carl has drawn on his years of
knowledge and experience with animals and his tracking skills to help
Tony get the references he has been looking for.
The Haynes Family has always strived to offer not only a wide selection
of world class images but also to show a wide range of price to suit most
pockets. With prices starting from £1,800 up to £500,000 there is a
wonderful range of subjects to choose from with all categories covered
in depth, and beautifully displayed throughout the twelve stunning
showrooms Picton House offers. Also displayed is an extensive range of
quality period hand carved marbles, fine furniture with tables, chairs,
davenports and desks etc, shown in potential room settings.
Of his own work Tony says “I have always had a love for nature and
animals, which is why I try to paint wildlife as it is, as naturally as
possible and aim to portray the mood and atmosphere of the moment
in my paintings. I like to use contrasting lighting and colours to
create a glowing vibrancy. Whilst keeping my work realistic and quite
photographic, I try to keep a certain freshness and unlaboured feel to
each image with easy flowing and minimal brush work”.
With the assurance of our long standing reputation within the International Fine Art Market and our close links with the two leading trade
associations, the BADA and LAPADA, you can buy with complete
confidence.
Constantly travelling extensively throughout Africa, America, Europe,
Kenya and parts of Tanzania, Tony works from his home using sketches,
notes and photographs to produce his highly finished paintings.

Marc Aldine (the pseudonym of Antoine Bouvard Senior) was born at St. Jean-de-Bournay in
L’Isère in 1870. He trained as an architect and studied art and architecture under ConstantDufeus, at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He became the Director of Architectural
Services for the Seine, and was responsible for the construction of the Bourse du Travail and
the Boulevard Morland in Paris.
His paintings show the influence of Félix Ziem, reflecting his love of Venice in the delicacy and
fluidity of his use of colour, capturing in his paintings, the warmth and beauty that he found there.
Known as a painter of Venetian subjects, he worked during the early part of the 20th Century,
becoming one of the most prolific painters of Venetian genre from this period.
Aldine/Bouvard’s works are broad and confidently painted, capturing all the atmosphere and
charm of one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
He exhibited throughout France and Italy as well as in many provincial European galleries
during his own lifetime. His popularity has continued to the present day, placing him amongst
the most recognised and respected painters of Venetian subjects.

Delphin Enjolras was born in 1857 at
Courcouron in the Ardèche. He had a
formal artistic training studying under
the celebrated teacher Gérome at the
Beaux-Arts, and Dagnan-Bouveret.
He painted some fine landscapes, in
particular those hanging in the Musée
du Puy, and the Musée Calvet
d’Avignon. However the majority of
Enjolras’s oil paintings and pastels
depict young ladies illuminated by
lamplight. His subjects are often
engaged in simple domestic pursuits
such as reading, sewing or flower
arranging, although at times, he sought
a more intimate portrayal.
A pupil of Gérard, Enjolras was a
member of the Society of French
Artists from 1901 and featured at the
Salon of this Society.
The Museum of Puy holds a work by
him titled ‘Le Donjon de Polignac’, and
the Museum at Avignon has
‘Provinciale’.

Born in Paris in 1854, Eugène Galien Laloue studied under his father Charles
Laloue, a set designer. His debut was almost exclusively as a painter in gouache
of Parisian street scenes and Galien Laloue’s early works reflect his traditional
training.
He painted landscapes, coastal and river scenes in Normandy and around Paris,
the Seine and the River Marne. In contrast to his later works, these show a
broad technique with significant use of impasto. It was at the turn of the
Century that Galien Laloue commenced his detailed gouaches depicting Paris
and Parisian life. During the Great War he painted scenes in the ruined towns
behind the front line and continued to depict Paris in wartime.
He turned to pastel and gouache in the late 1880’s, exhibiting one of each in
1886, and in 1889 two gouaches at the Paris Salon. It is, however, as a supreme
draughtsman painting street scenes in Paris that he is renowned. With an eye
for detail and colour he recorded Parisian life with its trams, omnibuses, flower
stalls and newsstands, but above all the architecture of the city itself and its
inhabitants.

Price Code E
Edouard Cortès was born at Lagny. At the age of 17 Cortès began formal studies at the École des Beaux-Arts in
Paris and for five years he expanded his horizons in the fields of classical and impressionistic art. He was a
Member of the Society of French Artists and made his debut in Paris in 1907. As an artist, Cortès sought to
discover the unperceived aspects of nature and man; those special atmospheric qualities of mist in the air, the
afternoon sun, evening shadows, rattling carriages and bookstalls along the quays of the river Seine. Cortès
captured in oils the unique and magical light of Paris. In some paintings his stonework seems almost to
“weather” before our eyes and in others it glistens like pearls against a summer sky. In evening compositions
night falls like a gentle veil, wistful and wreath-like, holding intact shadows of the night. His windows shine
brightly, his lamps glow, signs shimmer and streets appear wet from a sultry nocturnal rain.
Clearly evident is Cortès’ talent for creating the perfect composition, every angle giving way to a new look. Living
in the heart of Paris, Cortès was surrounded by the many famous landmarks: Notre Dame, La Madeleine, L’Opera,
the Café de la Paix, Place de la Concorde, La Place Vendôme, the Eiffel Tower and more. Cortès deliberately chose
these sights, studying each from different points of view, at certain times of the day and in varying seasons. In this
work the blazing pallet given to the flowers has been enhanced by the passing autumn shower.

Edouard Cortès was born at Lagny (Seine et Marne), a few miles east of Paris on 26 August
1882. It was an exciting Époque into which Cortès was born. Art, literature, music and political
thought reached a pinnacle of creativity, allowing new schools of artistic expression to evolve.
With this revitalized attitude towards new ways of seeing art, experimenting with colour, depth
and perspective, Cortès became enraptured with the idea of becoming a professional painter.

dramatic facades of winter versus summer resulted in entirely different compositions,
crystalline white snow, chilled air and buildings standing triumphant in a winter wonderland,

glistening white fountains.
Unique to Cortès was his impressionistic flair with the brush. With strict precision in the use of
his brush and oils, each movement of the paint on canvas made its impact.

French 1845-1916
Parisian Winter Scene
Framed size: 26¾ x 29½ inches
Ref. 11111
Price Code G
Luigi Aloys-Francois-Joseph Loir was born on 22 January 1845 in Göritz, Austria. Loir’s parents were of French origin, but his family lived in Austria as
employees of the French royal family, the Bourbons - his father was a valet while his mother was a governess. The earliest years of Luigi’s life, then were
spent in the Göritz castle, but shortly after his birth, the Loir family relocated to the Duchy of Parma, around 1847. In 1860, Loir’s family including his
sister, returned to France. Luigi remained in Parma and began studying painting at the Academy of Arts. Three years later, his father fell sick and he
moved to Paris to be with his ailing father and the rest of his family. It was his first experience in the city that would inspire his scenes for the rest of
his career.
Loir soon came into contact with the artist Jean-Aimable Amédée Pastelot who became his primary teacher. Pastelot, himself an artist concentrating on
characters from the Comédie delle’art, flowers and genre paintings in watercolour and gouache, he also worked with the many caricature journals that
proliferated during this period. It was in Pastelot’s studio that Loir began experimenting with different art forms ranging from decoration, theatrical
costumes, and illustrations for many novels.
Loir must have taken from Pastelot an interest in capturing figural qualities, but he invested this type of training instead into his own synthesis of figures
and landscape to produce the natural replication of the activity along the Parisian streets. This interest in the Parisian street scene was influenced,
however, by another transformation that had entirely reshaped the Parisian landscape and how Parisians spent their leisure time. The street itself
became the center of activity, from the bohemian center of Montmartre to the upper class promenades of the leisure class, it was on the streets of
Paris that one found the heart of activity. Loir took to the streets in search of his inspiration, studying it and its inhabitants.
His interest in the urban cityscape is perhaps more complex than a simple depiction of Paris and its inhabitants. Loir’s sincere reflections on the
changing effects of both the different times of day and the weather show the aesthetic reflection put into his paintings. Loir’s often impressionistically
executed works exhibit qualities of a dedicated study of the changing light effects on the environment, from the early afternoon to dusk, allowing him to
focus his audience’s attention on a source of light punctuating the otherwise cool colors of the canvas. His use of the most recognizable icons of the
city nevertheless created a sense of nostalgia for these urban monuments.
Loir was an active Salon artist, debuting in 1865 with ‘Á Villers’. From this point on, he began regularly exposing scenes not only based on the Parisian
cityscape, but other locales as well, including Puteaux, Bercy, Auteuil, and others. Indeed, at the time of his first Salon entry, Loir was not living
immediately in Paris, but instead on the outskirts in Neuilly-sur-Seine. He received many awards for his entries (3rd class medal, 1879; 2nd class medal,
1886; Gold medal, 1889 at the Exposition Universelle in Paris) and his works were purchased by prestigious individuals and museums alike, among
countless others purchased either by the French states or other museums spanning the continents. His awards were equally numerous, becoming part
of the Office d’Académie in 1889 and a Chevalier de la Legion d’Honneur in 1898. He was also a member of the Société de Peintres-Lithographes, of
the Société des Aquarellistes, and a member of the Jury of the Société des Artists Français and of the Société des Arts Décoratifs since 1899.
Paintings by Luigi Loir can now be found at the Musée des Beaux-Arts of Bordeaux, ‘Aux Lilas’, Rouen ‘La Crue de la Seine de Paris’, ‘Mesnilmontant’,
and the Musée Crozatier in Le-Puy-en-Valey ‘La Seine en Décembre 1879’.

Market Jew, nocturne
Ref. 11098
Price Code G
Stanhope Forbes is regarded as the founder and leader of the Newlyn School. He settled in Newlyn in 1884 and stayed for the rest of his life. Norman
Garstin, in an article on Stanhope Forbes, wrote that: “no one has done so much to hold the little community of Newlyn together as Mr. Stanhope Forbes”.
Forbes was born in Dublin. His father was the manager of the Midland Great Western Railway of Ireland; his mother was French and had much influence
over his life. Stanhope was sent to Dulwich College and in 1876 to the Royal Academy Schools. In 1880 he visited Paris and attended Bonnat’s studio
and, in 1881, he visited Brittany where he was to paint extensively over the next few years in the ‘plein air’ style. Forbes was greatly influenced by the
work of the French artist, Bastien Lepage, and his earlier works display the solid, tonal values of pre-impressionist painting.
In January 1884, Forbes took the train from London to Falmouth in search of fresh inspiration and gradually found his way to Newlyn. He was by no
means the first artist to settle there; Langley, Gotch and Todd were already well established. It was, however, largely the repeated success of Forbes’
work at the Royal Academy in the later 1880’s, and in particular his most successful painting ‘Fish Sale on a Cornish Beach’ (1885), that established the
reputation of the Newlyn School outside Cornwall.
In 1899, he founded a painting school in Newlyn with Elizabeth Forbes, his wife, for “the student who wishes to learn how seriously to study painting and
drawing according to the recent development in English art”. The school’s formation marked the beginning of a new era in the artistic life of Newlyn while
its students formed the nucleus of the second generation of Newlyn painters.
Works can be found at The Tate, London; Penlee House Gallery and Museum, Penzance and at the Royal Cornwall Museum, Truro.

I in the R.N.V.R. and R.A.F.; before devoting the rest of his life to art as a painter, illustrator, medical
illustrator and lithographer.
He exhibited a total of one hundred and twenty-three works at the Royal Academy as well as many at

Russell Flint is best known for his paintings of semi-nude women and his paintings have been widely
reproduced. After his death in 1969 even Flints prints have become extremely popular with collectors.
He is represented in many museums and institutions throughout the world and his work is highly
sought after by collectors everywhere.

Campbell Archibald Mellon was born in Berkshire on 16 June 1878. He married and settled in
Nottingham in 1903 and remained there until he died in Gorleston on 28 August 1955. He only
started painting following his move to Nottingham. Mellon studied under Carl Brenner, nephew
of Benjamin Williams Leader amongst other artists. After his arrival in Norfolk he studied under
Sir John Alfred Arnesby Brown.
Mellon’s work is described as vigorous and most convincing in its power. His broad handling
of paint in a technique which combines flat brushstrokes with the use of a palette knife is
striking and is typical of his style. The drama of the heavy clouds is heightened by the
foreground sunlight and the movement of the figures.
Although Mellon worked out of doors, his paintings were believed to be largely composed in
the studio, as he re-arranged and eliminated detail he didn’t see fitting and added design to

suit his ideas. He was more interested in composing an image that conjured up the
atmospheric qualities of happiness rather than a sober pictorial translation of what he had
seen. Mellon’s style had developed along simpler lines. This economy of purpose is apparent
in ‘The Rain Cloud’; broad horizontal brushstrokes in the foreground represented the beach
which brilliantly contrasted to the freedom of movement of the waves and figures towards
the spectator.
Mellon often painted in the open air and his style was influenced by the Barbizon School and
Impressionism. His focus on the imaginative expression of atmosphere above pure realism
which undoubtedly helps establish him as a representative of a new romantic movement.
Mellon’s work can be seen in public galleries in Bristol, Leeds, Sheffield and Great Yarmouth.

Robert Gemmell Hutchison was born and educated in Edinburgh. He began work as a seal engraver, although his real love was painting and he later
studied art at The Board of Manufacturers School of Art. Hutchison developed a distinctive, broad and vigorous style. He specialised in painting children
and genre scenes within interiors, Scottish landscapes and his much sought after and highly desirable picturesque shore scenes.
Hutchison was soon recognised by the art fraternity and became one of the most prolific exhibitors of his day. He was elected to many prestigious
academies throughout the British Isles, including The Royal Society of British Artists, The Royal Institute of Oil Painters, The Royal Society of Painters in
Watercolour and The Royal Scottish Academy.
Hutchison was awarded a medal for his work in 1903. There are close similarities between his work and some of the Glasgow School of Painters. In
particular his use of broad brushstrokes and soft, mute colouring.
