About the Item
Amédée Elié Servin — (1829-1884) : Children playing in a forest
A nice and confidently painted scene of three children playing in the midst of a dark forest. Through clever use of colour and light and dark effects, Elié Servin creates a mysterious and fairytale-like scene in which all attention is drawn to the playing children.
Amédée-Élie Servin (1829-1884)
Servin Amédée-Élie was a French painter and engraver, founder of the artistic community of Villiers-sur-Morin.
Servin was born to a tanner, who, disappointed by his son's failure in his studies, apprenticed him to an upholsterer where he learned to draw cartoons. He then entered the École des Beaux-Arts and studied under the painter Michel Martin Drolling. At this school, he befriended students of his generation, such as Jean-Jacques Henner, Benjamin Ulmann and Paul Baudry.
He made his debut at the Paris Salon in 1850, presenting a courtyard interior; thereafter, he exhibited regularly. In 1855, he exhibited three landscape paintings inspired by Normandy and the following year, he was inspired by landscapes of Brittany. He was in contact with the first generation of painters who frequented Barbizon, where he met Théodore Rousseau and Jean-François Millet.
Around 1857, he settled in Villiers-sur-Morin, and in 1860, he founded the "artistic circle of Villiers", and persuaded other artists and writers to come to this village. He began to produce landscapes inspired by this Seine-et-Marne village, where he remained until his death.
In 1872, he received a medal at the Salon, one year after losing his wife. His widowhood made him sad, his production decreased.
His friend Alexandre Falguière sculpted a bust of him for a monument erected in his honour in Villiers in 1888. Servin was nicknamed the "master of the Morin valley".
Benezit cites this pupil of Drolling as an artist of great sincerity, without commercial preoccupation, whose works deserve to be sought after by connoisseurs.

- Lady in a red dress with a kittenLocated in Gent, VOVSignature lower right: J. Bail Relined and some restorations Joseph-Claude Bail was born during a period of intense disagreement in the Parisian art world. For several years the Salon juries had rejected many progressive artists works; printmaking was making a charge at establishing itself as a true art form; the Barbizon group of painters challenged the tradition of historical landscapes with their views of the modern countryside, and Realism was decades old and had brought forth such combative figures as Gustave Courbet. Yet not all artists can be said to belong to this modern view of the nineteenth century. Numerous artists found prestige and public acclaim both at the Salons and with the public with works that relied on past styles and traditions influenced by the “Little Masters” from seventeenth-century Holland and traditions from eighteenth-century France.
