About the Item
Beautiful oil on canvas painting by the French artist, Henri Alexis Schaeffer. This painting is a wonderful example of his work from the prime of his career. Here you see figures walking along the street and sidewalk with cars and carriages by Porte Saint-Denis at dusk. Lights flicker and reflect on the ground, and magic is being felt. The details are magnificent as Schaeffer captures the architecture of Paris so beautifully; you can feel the energy of the day and the excitement. The painting is signed by the artist lower right and it comes housed in a giltwood frame with hanging wire ready to be displayed.
Art measures 17 x 20 inches
Frame measures 22 x 25 inches
Henri Alexis Schaeffer was born in Paris, France in 1900. He studied at the famous Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris, under the great master Cormon. Schaeffer’s earlier paintings consisted primarily of architectural studies of classical monuments and religious landmarks. He was a member of and exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français beginning in 1934. Schaeffer mainly painted urban Parisien scenes.
Schaeffer was a Post-Impressionist, the art movement following Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism. The style showed a greater concern for expression, structure, and form than did Impressionism. While the use of light is still important, it is strong and focused, as opposed to soft and diffused and the use of color is also strong and pure.
Henri Alexis Schaeffer remained in Paris throughout his life and died there in 1975. The artist was a member of the Salon des Artistes Francais from 1934.
PROVENANCE: Private collection Connecticut; Private Collection Manhattan, New York; Lilac Gallery Collection. The piece will be stamped from Lilac Gallery on its verso.
