Régis François Gignoux
Winter Landscape with a Skating Scene

About the Item

A fine winter landscape with a skating scene by French American artist Regis Francois Gignoux (1816-1882). Gignoux was born in Lyon, France, and began his studies in Fribourg, Switzerland and then at the St. Pierre Academie in Lyon, France, which was celebrated for teaching floral still-life painting. He then studied at the Beaux-Arts Académie with historical painter Hippolyle Paul Delaroche and with Emile Jean Horace Vernet. Delaroche turned his painting interest toward landscapes, taking him on summer sketching tours in Switzerland. He then ventured to America with his brother, pursuing a love interest, settling in Brooklyn with his new wife. His first paintings were winter landscapes, and by 1844, Gignoux had opened a studio in New York City becoming one the first to join the illustrious group (Bierstadt, Church, Cropsey, Kensett, Whittridge, etc.) at the famous Tenth Street Studio. His most celebrated painting Niagara Falls in Winter, 1848 (U.S. Capitol, Senate wing, third floor, south corridor) exemplified American landscape painting. Gignoux exhibited regularly at the National Academy of Design and Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art. In 1851, Gignoux was elected a member of the National Academy of Design, and he was the first president of the Brooklyn Art Academy. Oil on canvas, signed lower right, and housed in a decorative period molded giltwood frame. Dimensions: 25.5 in H x 36.5 in W, actual; 30.88 in H x 42 in W x 2 in D. Ref: 10557
