19th Century French Coastal Landscape Painting, Signed Kuwasseg
About the Item
Inspired by his voyages as a sailor, the French painter Charles Kuwasseg painted this impressive coastal landscape painting in the 1870’s (the canvas is signed and dated in the lower left corner). Multistory timber framed buildings of various colors, including cream, green, brown, and gray sit high above the water’s edge. Interestingly, there is no port depicted in the city, despite the numerous boats attempting to embark into the choppy waters beneath an overcast sky. A two-masted vessel has already left the sand-lined shore, while two other boats are preparing to enter the water. Two spectators stand just behind the beached boats, while numerous others line the walls of the city.
Charles Euphrasie Kuwasseg was born in France in 1838, the son of the well-renowned Italian-born Austrian painter, Karl Joseph Kuwasseg. The elder Kuwasseg moved to Paris in 1830 and later began educating young Charles. Charles would eventually receive formal training under Jean Baptiste Henri Durand-Brager and Eugene Isabey. Known for his landscape paintings, Charles leaned heavily on his time as a sailor, often painting the Brittany or Normandy coastlines. Charles was also influenced by the Barbizon School, which was a collective of painters that focused on Realism in art.

- 19th Century French Oil Painting, Horse Racing on the Beaches of Saint-MaloLocated in Dallas, TXSaint-Malo, France is located on the Northern coast of Brittany and has a long history of overseas adventures, exploration, and of course, piracy. Saint-Malo eventually became a wealthy French port city over the centuries, allowing for such leisure activities as horse displays, including parading and racing. It is thought that horse racing on the beaches was taking place by at least the early 1800s in Saint-Malo. The oil on canvas painting seen here is a fantastic depiction of such an event during the 1840s. A giltwood frame with thick cavetto molding surrounds the colorful and vivacious scene. In the center of the painting, jockeys ride galloping horses between two flagpoles. There is a definitive international flair, with flags ranging from French to Swedish affixed to a judges’ platform on the side. In the foreground, a procession of petite noblesse arrives, led by a quartet of well-dressed gentlemen on horseback. Two carriages follow, one blue and one green, each led by a team of two horses. Soldiers dressed in blue overcoats and red pants walk the grounds with a leashed dog in tow as a woman in a long, deep blue dress rides by with a green train flowing from her black hat. A sea of spectators gathers behind the judges, lined against the wall surrounding the city. Some enterprising fans are perched atop pruned trees beneath the wall as well. A blue sky filled with white fluffy clouds fills the background, above even more spectators lining the balconies of buildings behind the wall. The wall extends further down the beach, in front of cream colored houses and windmills at the end of the city. At over three and a half feet wide, this 19th century painting of horse racing...Category
