About the Item

Oil on canvas 24.5 x 32.5 cm, signed lower right Provenance: Sale Galerie Boussod-Valadon & Allard, Paris, 03/03/1919, Georges Petit Hotel Drouot Ferri Sale 05/06/2019 lot no 18 Litterature: Pierre and Rolande MIQUEL, Narcisse Diaz de La Peña, monographie et catalogue raisonné de l'oeuvre peint, ACR Editions, Paris, 2006, vol. 2, reprod. and described under no. 461, p. 73. A major painter of the Barbizon School, he was born to Spanish parents, whom he lost at an early age. He debuted at the Salon in 1831, fascinated by the spirit, climate and themes of Romanticism, and began by painting allegorical or gallant subjects in the spirit of the 18th century, followed by bohemian or oriental scenes. His meeting with Théodore Rousseau encouraged him to take up landscape painting, and he settled in Barbizon, where he painted forest undergrowth, clearings and ponds, whose luminous effects are underlined by glazed impasto. A picturesque character, he was much loved by his Barbizon colleagues and young painters such as Renoir, Monet and Bazille. The Musée d'Orsay in Paris owns an important collection of his works. Museums: Amsterdam - Bayone - Beziers - Bordeaux - Chantilly - Chicago - Clamecy - Glascow - Grenoble - The Hague - Helsinki - Liège - Lille - London - Louviers - Montpellier - Montreal - Moscow - Mulhouse - Nancy - Nantes - Paris (Musée d'Orsay) - Reims - La Rochelle - Stockholm - Toulouse...

  • Antique Oil on Canvas Painting "Dancing Nymphs" Mythological Landscape Scene
    Located in Firenze, IT
    A luxuriant forest is the romantic and lyrical landscape where the dance of the nude nymphs takes place in this joyful 19th Century antique oil on canvas painting featuring a mythological scene. Dance of the Nymphs and Naiads is a myth inspired by the tales of ancient Greece and ancient Rome, a subject already much loved in the Renaissance period as an allegory of rebirth - as in one of the most famous paintings in the world the Spring by Sandro Botticelli- then reproduced throughout the neoclassicism by academic painters -due to the renewed interest in classical artworks following the discovery of archaeological sites- and taken up later, with ecological purposes and meanings, also by the Barbizon school and Impressionist artists. The present artwork – signed Vagner low left and datable to the second half of the 19th century - is closely inspired by an important work by the great Camille Corot, which is now housed at the Musée d'Orsay (Paris). This historical oil on canvas painting, featuring a joyful scene with the three graces and other dancing nymphs...
