About the Item

Jeanne GOUY (Active between 1890 and 1904) Pastel Signed lower right "Jeanne Gouy" 66 x 82 cm (83 x 100 cm with the frame) Jeanne Gouy studied with the academic painter Jules Machard. The latter was known for his qualities as a portraitist. He also painted nude women several times, whose beauty he visibly admired, notably a large "Angelique nude attached to the rock" exhibited at the Salon of 1869 in Paris. In our painting, we also see a real sensitivity and a delicacy that shows a respect, even an admiration for the woman's body. There is indeed no vulgarity in this nude: the forms are beautiful but shown without ostentation, with lightness and innocence. Jeanne Gouy exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1891 to 1900 pastels representing women in their interior ("La femme aux iris", "Petite fille au livre", "La lettre"...) and in 1891 she exhibited a painting entitled "Etude au pastel ". Here is represented a young red-haired woman who poses topless, leaning near a mirror and a pretty blue drape. This is undoubtedly a beautiful study of a model.

  • Baigneuses (Bathers)
    By Louis-Joseph Courtat
    Located in New Orleans, LA
    French Academic painter Louis-Joseph Courtat displays his mastery of composition and the female form in this entrancing oil on canvas. Entitled Baigneuses, the work was painted for and exhibited at the 1885 Paris Salon, the foremost exhibition of painters in the Western world. Large in size, it captures two nude bathers within a tranquil beach scene. While the artist's skill for landscape painting is on display, it is his command of form, light and color that bring this canvas to life. The artist specialized in paintings that glorified the nude, and his skill is clear in the luminosity of his models' skin and the classical beauty of their form and proportions. With their soft, undulating curves and flowing hair, Courtat's models reflect the two key influences on the young painter, that of the great Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres as well as his teacher Alexandre Cabanel. Like these two greats who came before him, Courtat similarly follows in the artistic tradition of the female nude that is traceable to classical antiquity and the Italian Renaissance. Born in Paris in 1847, Courtat studied at the famed École des Beaux-Arts under Cabanel. He was one of the Academic master's first students at the school, where he began to teach in 1864. Displaying considerable skill at an early age, Courtat won the Prix de Rome around 1870, and subsequently studied in Rome for a number of years. He returned to Paris in 1873 to make his debut at the Salon, where he was met with immediate success, receiving a third class medal. He received medals again in 1874 and 1875, a remarkable achievement for a painter of his age. In addition to the monumental nudes...
