About the Item
Charles FRÉCHOU
(Paris 1820 – Paris 1900)
Portrait of a child with a cat
Oil on canvas
H. 41 cm; L. 33 cm
Signed lower left and dated 1849
Apart from participation in the Salon between 1841 and 1888, very few elements of his life have come down to us. The booklets of these same salons tell us that he was a pupil of the Adan family, Hippolyte the father and Louis-Emile the son. His achievements seem to focus on the art of portraiture and some still lifes of which the art market has given a glimpse of a sample. Our portrait, which he produced at the age of 29, is still imbued with the full Louis-Philippe style from which France has just escaped.
This little boy, around 5 years old, is dressed in a tartan tunic, which could indicate a Scottish model? Simple supposition which does not bring us any identification. The almost languid posture and the cat on the child's lap are complemented by an unusual background. The bench and its beautiful green silk cushions seem to be seriously disturbed, as if caught in the act of a battle with the cat… Not very academic for a performance at this period!

- Garçon avec des Fruit - Boy with Fruit - Oil on Canvas - Naive PaintingBy Nino GiuffridaLocated in Meinisberg, CHNino Giuffrida (Sicilian, 1924, active in France) Un Garçon avec des Fruits • Oil on canvas, ca. 41 x 33 cm • Frame, made by the renowned framer Knöll from Zürich, ca. 54 x 46 cm • Signed top left Worldwide shipping for this object is complimentary - There are no additional charges for handling & delivery. Born in 1924 in Sicily, Nino already attended the artistic high school in Catania at the age of 17, where he befriended fellow painters including Pippo Aleo and Giovanni Calogero. At that time, he painted with passion everything he saw, landscapes, seascapes, still lifes. After a first attempt to come to France with his friend Giovanni in 1948, aborted for lack of a visa. Nino finally arrived at the Gare de Lyon on December 8, 1949 and settled at number 30 rue Gabrielle in Montmartre. Nino began to paint Paris. Like many Montmartre artists of this period, while he painted all day long, he moved about in the evening on the terraces of the cafés of Montmartre and Saint-Germain-des-Prés to transform himself into a portrait painter and randomly sketch the customers in restaurants. Nino then devoted himself more and more to the painting of children, which became his favorite theme of inspiration. Pierre Imbourg, journalist and art critic, wrote of him: "Montmartre, the land of little ‘Poulbots’, inspiring Nino to record in his mind all these childrens faces whose intense facial expression he would endevour to reproduce". It was also at this time that his career as a Montmartre painter influenced by cubism began. With the disappearance of the art galleries in Montmartre, Nino decides to settle on the French Riviera, in Cannes then in Vallauris. From 1952 his personal exhibitions follow one another and Nino becomes an international painter: Rome, Brussels, Chicago, Copenhagen, Helsingborg and Aüs in Sweden, in Geneva, in Kourou in Guyana... In Paris, he manages the Galerie de la Colonne...Category
