About the Item
Here is your chance to have your own private chapel with devotional objets and saint figures - in the form of this lovely painting by Joseph Bergès (1878-1956).
Berges was born in the South East of France in the Pyrenees, not far from the Spanish border.
After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Toulouse, he was accepted at the Paris Academy. However, although his career took him to Paris, a remained very much attached to his homeland, a pious, rustic area with many chapel such as the one he portrayed here.
Having studied with the Masters Eugène Cormon and Léon Bonnat , Bergès exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1907.
He was obtained a second Grand Prix de Rome in 1908 for the painting The Death of Tharcicius (Saint Tharsal). The work earned him the medal of honour and a travel grant, and it was later sent by the State to the Augustins Museums in Toulouse.
He was awared the Henner Prize at the 1914 Salon and in the same year obtained a gold medal from the Salon des Artistes Français. Bergès was made a knight of the Legion of Honour in 1927 and became a member of the jury of the Prix de Rome as well as the committee and jury of the Society of French Artists .
Works by the artist are in the Musée d'Orsay and the Petit Palais in Paris, as well as in the museums of Quimper and Toulouse.
Our painting measures 60 x 73 cm for the canvas alone and is signed at the lower centre. Is bears on the verso an exhibition number and the French title "Chapelle rustique". It is presented in a period limed oak frame.
