About the Item
This mid-19th-century oil painting by French artist Henri-Jean Chasselat (1813-1880) depicts a continental town scene.
Four white horses, hitched to a covered wagon, wait patiently at a crossroads for their driver to return. Around them, an assortment of ramshackle buildings, each unique from the next. Several are probably centuries old given their unusual architecture and timber-framed facades. On the left, a particularly interesting building features a ‘jetty’ projecting above the lower floor - it’s covered in climbing flora. While on the right, there’s a prominent turret with a tiled conical roof.
Chasselat was a classically-minded Parisian who often looked back to the old masters for inspiration. With this in mind, could this be an untouched historic suburb of the French capital? During the 1860s, Paris underwent a sizable transformation - did he capture it for posterity? The overcast, brooding, low-lying clouds bring an ominous sense of foreboding.
A fine work by an accomplished hand.
Signed/dated lower left and held within a wooden frame.

- Daniel Sherrin, Heath Landscape With SunsetBy Daniel SherrinLocated in Cheltenham, GBThis early 20th-century autumnal oil painting by British artist Daniel Sherrin (1869-1940) depicts a rugged heath landscape under the glow of a setting sun. Sherrin was an accomplished painter of landscapes and maritime subjects. He spent the majority of his life in Seasalter, near Whitstable in Kent, where he became a local celebrity of repute. His father, John Sherrin RI RWS (1819-1896), was a painter of delicate still lifes in watercolour and trained by the distinguished William Henry Hunt (1790-1864). However, it’s unlikely that he provided any early tuition for his son as he actively dissuaded the young lad from entering the profession. As such, Sherrin was instead apprenticed to Peter Moore...Category
