A pair of landscapes by Irish artist Solomon Delane, celebrated by his contemporaries for landscapes in the manner of Claude, come up at Sotheby’s Old Master Paintings sale in London on December 5. View of Lake Nemi, Italy and a Wooded Landscape with a Waterfall are estimated at £30,000-30,000. Born in Dublin Delane spent most of his career in Italy, but is regularly recorded in Dublin from the 1790’s. Four landscapes painted for the 4th Duke of Rutland, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland from 1784-1787, suggest that Delane was in Dublin in the 1780’s.
