About the Item

PIERRE-NAPOLÉON EUGÈNE RELIN French, 1837 - 1908 LIONESS AND CUBS signed and dated "E. Relin", 1905 (lower right) oil on canvas 43-1/2 x 61 inches (110 x 154.5 cm.) framed: 48-1/2 x 65-3/4 inches (122.5 x 166.5 cm.) PROVENANCE Sotheby's London sale 25 March 2009, lot 312 Private Collector, Madrid French painter and engraver dedicated to genre and animal painting. It impacts this canvas by the realism and closeness that the artist presents to this lioness and her cubs, in the foreground, with a neutral background so as not to distract us from the main thing. The size of the animals contributes to this. It is perfectly captured the expression of the lioness, protective towards her little ones, aggressive. The puppies have a sweet and affectionate expression towards the mother. The color range goes in harmony from brown to light beige, with the force of an ambient light throughout the canvas, which is focusing mainly on animals. Pierre-Napoleon Eugene Relin was born on 1st December 1837 at Béziers , where he seems to lie down in the 1860s, the son of Nicolas Eugene Relin (1807-1878), a native of Saint-Die , watchmaker, and activist republican during the 1848 revolution; imprisoned under the presidency of Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte , he was to the end an ardent republican, a member of Nimoise Freemasonry. In Paris, Pierre-Napoléon Eugène is a pupil of Charles Jalabert and Antoine-Louis Barye .
