Early 19th Century Pair of Reverse Glass Paintings by Lebelle

About the Item

Pair of reverse glass paintings in gouache depicting two landscapes. One of them features a castle and a bath scene, the other one animals and various characters. The drawing is extremely precise. Giltwood frames. A landscape is signed Lebelle, circa 1810. Dimensions without frame: L 17.5 cm, H 12.5 cm. Dimensions with frame: L 20 cm, P 2 cm, H 14.5 cm./W 7.9 in, D .8 in, H 5.7 in. The reverse glass painting was invented in the mid-18th century by Arnaud Vincent de Montpetit. These small oil paintings on fine canvas are glued and fixed under a protective glass. Louis-Nicolas and Henri-Joseph van Blarenberghe were two French brothers born in Lille, painting usually in gouache during the 18th century. Their style - close to Flemish painting, was similar and they often worked on the same painting together. They specialized in seascapes and scenes of military encampments and battles. Miniatures by the brothers often decorated snuff boxes and small decorative objects.
