Oil on Canvas "Officier Des Ordres Des Palmes Académiques"
About the Item
A splendid late 19th century oil on canvas portrait of an official of the “Ordre des Palmes Académiques” signed and dated (1897) in the upper right hand corner by the artist “H Herbert” (Henry Herbert La Thangue, 1859-1929). Herbert was in fact a British painter, born in Croydon and studying initially at the Lambeth School of Art, then later at The Royal Academy (1874-9), where he was awarded a gold medal, enabling him to study at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris for three years. The “Ordre des Palmes Académiques” is a national order bestowed by the French Republic on distinguished academics and teachers and for valuable service to universities, education and science. It was originally established in 1808 by Emperor Napoleon as a decoration to honour eminent members of the University of Paris, so the subject of this painting can be assumed to be an eminent personage of the time. The portrait is contained within a decorative giltwood and moulded stucco frame, incorporating designs of laurel, oak and water leaves. There are some small imperfections visible.

- Oil-on-Canvas Painting 'Square des Batignolles' by Robert Delval (1934-)By Henri Matisse, Delval, Pierre BonnardLocated in NICE, FRWe present you this incredibly alluring artwork, titled 'Square des Batignolles.' It is an oil painting on canvas and signed by the artist, Robert Delval (1934-). It dates to 2012, making it a very contemporary piece. The artist's playful use of colours, perspective, depth, and form in this artwork demonstrates the influence of the artistic styles of Henri Matisse and Pierre Bonnard, which Robert Delval saw as artistic inspirations. Robert Delval, born in 1934 in Montmartre, Paris, cultivated his artistic skills amidst the street painters of his childhood neighbourhood, drawing inspiration from books and museums. At twenty-five, he embarked on a European and American journey armed solely with brushes and notebooks. Upon returning to France, he divided his time, spending spring and summer on the Mediterranean coast and autumn and winter in Megève, selling his watercolours to passers-by, including the likes of Françoise Sagan. One of his small gouache pieces, depicting a view of the Luxembourg Garden, caught the eye of André Roussard, a Montmartre framer...Category
