About the Item

A field of dead almond trees lie before a colorful french village waiting for the storm to blow in. A 20th-century French realist and impressionist painter, especially known for marine subjects, Jean Rigaud was born in Bordeaux in 1912, just before the beginning of World War I. He also did other subjects including French village scenes and works reflecting his widespread travels including to Spain, Egypt and Morocco. For the French government, he was Official Marine Painter and in that capacity traveled to the United States on the ship, Jean Bart. His early training was from his artist and art-teacher father, Pierre Gaston Rigaud, and he encouraged his son as well as other students to develop their own unique approach to painting. He then enrolled in the l'Ecole des Beaux Arts at the Atelier André Dewambez. In 1925, Jean Rigaud began exhibiting at the Paris salons, and this entry began a prolific series of exhibition venues including 53 one-man exhibitions between 1938 and 1974. The Galerie Durand-Ruel featured his work in exhibitions every other year between 1956 and 1974, the last one being the gallery's final exhibition. Among his prizes were the 1937 Gold Medal in Paris at The International Exhibition; the 1953 Prize of Maroco; and the 1956 "Painter of the French Navy" award. Among the museums that collect his work are the National Museum in Paris, the Museé de Tours, Musée de Poitiers, and the Musée Strasbourg.

  • "Solebury Valley"
    By William Langson Lathrop
    Located in Lambertville, NJ
    Signed lower right. Complemented by a period frame. William L. Lathrop (1859-1938) Deemed “Father of the New Hope Art Colony”, William Langson Lathrop was born in Warren, Illinois. He was largely self-taught, having only studied briefly with William Merritt Chase in 1887, at the Art Students League. Lathrop first moved east in the early 1880s, and took a job at the Photoengraving Company in New York City. While there, he befriended a fellow employee, Henry B. Snell. The two men became lifelong friends and ultimately, both would be considered central figures among the New Hope Art Colony. Lathrop's early years as an artist were ones of continuing struggle. His efforts to break through in the New York art scene seemed futile, so he scraped enough money together to travel to Europe with Henry Snell in1888. There he met and married an English girl, Annie Burt. Upon returning to New York, he tried his hand at etching, making tools from old saw blades...
