Old Masters & 19th Century European Art

Freeman's is one of the lone houses outside of New York that regularly holds sales specifically dedicated to European Art and Old Masters, including paintings, sculptures, and works on paper ranging from the 15th through the late 19th century.

A strong emphasis on selectivity and connoisseurship paired with highly academic and well-researched essays has yielded our consignors consistently strong results by classical painters of the Renaissance, Baroque, Pre-Raphaelites, Barbizon, and La Belle Epoque working in both the United Kingdom and the Continent.

Notable Old Masters auction successes include those featuring works by such leading names as Hubert Robert, Solomon van Ruysdael, William Adolphe Bouguereau, Charles-Amable Lenoir, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Eugène Boudin, Léon-Augustin L'Hermitte, John Atkinson Grimshaw, Edward Burne-Jones, Johann Wilhelm Preyer, Rudolph Ernst, and Franz Unterberger. We invite you to explore the notable results of recent Freeman’s Old Masters and 19th-century artists’ auctions. Then contact us to arrange a complimentary valuation of your artwork by one of our art appraisers.
