Post Impressionist work of a Venetian backwater by Charles Wittmann, Venice

About the Item

Charles Wittmann (French, 1876 – 1953) Venetian backwater Oil on canvas Signed ‘CH. WITTMANN’ (lower left) 22 x 28.3/4in. (55.8 x 73 cm.) Son of Ernest Wittmann, painter and sculptor, Charles Wittmann joined the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1894. There he followed the teachings of Eugène Carrière and Gustave Moreau. Living in Paris for 18 years, he made the Parisian street one of his favorite subjects and declined, from the end of the 19th century to 1914, the lively scenes and the effervescence of the boulevards, squares, markets or festivals of the capital, with architecture reinvented under the Second Empire by Baron Haussman.

He eventually settled in Bedford Square, Brighton, during the 1910s and 1920s, but maintained a studio at 18 Fitzroy Street in London from 1915 onwards. A prominent figure in the art world, he was a founder member and secretary of the Camden Town Group, a member of the New English Art Club, and one of the founding members of the London Group in 1913.

    By Achille Laugé
    Located in New Orleans, LA
    This Neo-Impressionist landscape by the French artist Achille Laugé captures an orchard in late spring in his celebrated, highly modern style. The work displays a thick impasto thanks to the artist's distinctive technique of applying his paint in quick dabs, a characteristic of his later works. One of the foremost painters of the Post-Impressionist period, Laugé’s works are beloved for his sensitivity to light, shade and tone, and his mastery of medium is clearly on display in Almond Trees...
