Félix Ziem
Rocher au bord de la Mer
1848

About the Item

Watercolour on original paper. Signed and dated 1848 lower left. Framed dimensions are 21 inches high by 25 inches wide. Félix Ziem's father was a Croat who settled in Bourgogne in 1814, and his mother was from the same region. He studied at the École d'Architecture et des Beaux-Arts in Dijon, which had been founded and was run by the painter Anatole Devosge, a pupil of David. He received a second prize in drawing and architecture in 1839. In 1841, after a long journey on foot, he settled in Nice, where he began to receive commissions from the city's bourgeoisie. From 1842, he travelled in Italy, visiting Rome, before discovering Venice, which became his second home. Between 1845 to 1892 he visited Venice regularly, often for several months in the year; he worked from his boat, which served as his studio as well as his living quarters. He travelled extensively: to Constantinople, to Greece and in Russia from 1844, then to Belgium and Holland (1850); England (1852); Egypt (1854). In 1855, he went down the Danube by boat. In 1856, he was in Turkey and the eastern part of the Mediterranean. He visited Algiers in 1858, and in Holland again in 1860. He often went to Barbizon, living out of a caravan in order to better paint and eventually bought a house in Charles Jacque. He befriended all of the celebrated artists of his time. When he grew tired of Barbizon and spent his time between his four houses in Venice, Martigues, Nice and in Paris, rue Lepic. During the course of his career, he painted several thousand canvases the proceeds of, which enabled him to help young artists, and set up numerous charity works, including an asylum for the blind. He combined his travelling with the Parisian life. He exhibited regularly at the Salon from 1849. Around 1865, Durand-Ruel became one of his main dealers. At his death, he bequeathed a part of his studio (studies and drawings) to the city of Paris. It is in this collection, housed at the Musée du Petit Palais, that one is best able to appreciate Ziem's technique and talent. Ziem was a complete painter, at ease in portraits, still-lifes, flower painting and genre scenes, of both history and contemporary subjects. Nevertheless, he is most known for his landscapes. His body of work includes numerous watercolours. In his drawings, and especially in his travel journals, while showing his taste by his selection and composition of subjects, he left a precious testament of his times. After Guardi and Canaletto, he affirmed a new vision of Venice, not of the city's celebrated sites such as the Doges' Palace, but rather a systematic study of its changing light over the hours and through the seasons. Beyond Venice and the landscapes of the French regions he visited, he brought back numerous sketches from his travels across Europe, all the way to Russia, Constantinople and the Bosphorus. These included oriental scenes, caravans in profile against the desert, women draped in startling veils on village terraces, and sunsets. His studio in Martigues was transformed into a Moorish structure, complete with a cupola and minaret. Ziem featured in collective, thematic exhibitions, including: Going with the Flow: The Provencal School (Au fil de l'eau. École Provençale), Musée des Tapisseries, Aix-en-Provence (2000); Marseilles and the Mediterranean: Félix Ziem and his Contemporaries (Marseille et le bassin méditerranéen. Félix Ziem et ses contemporains), Château Borély, Marseilles (2002); Painters from the Other Shore. Algiers 1830-1930 (Les Peintres de l'autre rive. Alger 1830-1930), an exhibition organised during 'Djazaïr a Year of Algeria in France', Musée de la Castre, Cannes (2003); Luminous Algeria, Through the Eyes of Seascape Painters (1830-1960) (Lumineuse Algérie, sous le regard des peintres de marines (1830-1960)), Musée National de la Marine, Toulon (2003). Solo exhibitions and retrospectives incude: Musée de l'Annonciade, St-Tropez (1980); Musée des Beaux-Arts, Beaune (1994); Across a Century: Félix Ziem, 1821-1911 (La Traversée d'un siècle: Félix Ziem, 1821-1911), Musée Ziem, Martigues; 2002, Musée Louis Vouland, Avignon (2001). Ziem received numerous awards: a 3rd class medal (1851), 1st class medals (1852 and 1855) and was made Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur (1857), Officier (1878) and Commandeur (1908).
