19th Century French Oil painting by Eduard Frere

About the Item

Painted by Eduardo Frere in 1869 Signed lower left Title :The Coopers Children at Breakfast Frère studied under Paul Delaroche, entered the École des Beaux-Arts in 1836 and exhibited first at the Salon in 1843. Among his chief works are the two paintings, Going to School and Coming from School, The Little Glutton (his first exhibited picture) and L'Exercice (in the 19th century this work was in John Jacob Astor's collection). A journey to Egypt in 1860 resulted in a small series of Orientalist subjects, but the majority of Frère's paintings deal with the life of the kitchen, the workshop, the dwellings of the humble, and mainly with the pleasures and little troubles of the young, which the artist brings before us with humor and sympathy. He was one of the most popular painters of domestic genre in the middle of the 19th century. He was the father of the painter Charles Edouard Frère, and the brother of the orientalist painter Charles-Théodore Frère.[1] He ran a school in Ecouen that was the subject of an article by Cornelia W. Conant for Harper's Magazine in 1885. Because of similarities in their work and their names, and the overlapping years of their careers, the paintings of father and son are sometimes confused. They may be distinguished by the signatures: "Ed. Frère" or "Edouard Frère" for the father, while the son's work is signed beginning with the letter "C", sometimes as part of a stylized monogram combining the letters "C" and "E".
