Jean-Victor Bertin
Landscape of Ile de France

circa 1810

About the Item

Jean-Victor BERTIN and workshop (1767, Paris – 1842, Paris) Landscape of Ile de France Oil on canvas H. 38 cm; L. 46 cm Related work: painting of the same composition preserved at the J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles) Jean-Victor Bertin can probably place himself, after his master Valenciennes, in the second rank of the so-called “neo-classical” French landscapers of the end of the 18th century and the first third of the 19th century, ahead of Bidauld, Dunouy, Chauvin and even Boguet. Among his best-known students are Corot, Michallon, Daubigny. Bertin often made several copies of his compositions, reflecting their success, sometimes in quite large numbers. These covers, which the art historian Suzanne Gutwirth considered to be late “food” works (the 1830s) by Bertin to compensate for his financial difficulties and his declining success, seem rather to have been carried out at the time of the original composition, in Bertin's workshop. This workshop thus had not only an educational role with many students, but also a vocation to participate in the creation of replicas. Some were signed by Bertin, others not, which does not mean that they were not in his hand, at least in part. The other versions known to date of our table are few in number; that of the Getty, of comparable dimensions, does not include figures, and could be the original sketch executed on site in the open air. We find in our painting Bertin's great sense of light and his very precise treatment of the foliage, the workshop having been able to take care of the steep hillside and its small trees, the central dwellings, and the group of figures on the left. This village bathed in soft late afternoon light could be located south of Paris, in the Bièvre or Essonne valley.

  • Maurice Lobre (1862 -1951) The snack
    By Maurice Lobre
    Located in BELEYMAS, FR
    Maurice LOBRE (Bordeaux 1862 - Paris 1951) Le goûter Huile sur toile H. 87 cm ; L. 91,5 cm Format peint d’origine, H. 101 cm ; L. 96 cm, disposé sur un châssis plus petit par l’artiste lui-même. Signée et datée 1888 en bas à droite Provenance : Collection privée, Lyon Exposition : 1889, Salon des Artistes Français, n°1719 « Intérieur », (ou 1720 nommé également « Intérieur ») Œuvres en rapport : Le Cabinet de toilette de Jacques-Emile Blanche, (titre erroné) H. 80 cm ; L. 85 cm, HST, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid, pendant de notre toile. Maurice Lobre a-t-il connu Marcel Proust ? On ne peut encore l'affirmer, bien qu'il ait eu de nombreux amis en commun avec l'écrivain. Mais sa peinture intimiste pourrait illustrer certaines pages de Du côté de chez Swann. Trois citations dues à des proches de Proust, l'une de l'écrivain Léon Daudet, la seconde du peintre Jacques-Emile Blanche, la dernière du poète mondain Robert de Montesquiou, donnent un aperçu de ce que fut la renommée de Maurice Lobre en son temps : "Il en va autrement de Lobre, le Vermeer français, le peintre exquis des intérieurs et des palais de Versailles, des reflets sur les meubles rares, de la lumière prisonnière des miroirs, des laques et des cuivres polis. Lobre est joyeux comme un coup de vent, qui fait envoler les préjugés et les poncifs, éloquent, passionné, ivre de la couleur et des formes, charmant et conquérant de toutes les matières. Il se promène ici-bas ainsi que dans un musée en plein-air, s'amuse de tout, rejette et maudit le laid et le vil, accueille et bénit le beau et le bien…" Léon Daudet L'Entre-deux-guerres. Souvenirs des milieux littéraires, politiques, artistiques et médicaux de 1880 à 1905. "Voici le patient, appliqué, sage M. Lobre. Il est difficile de mettre plus d'honnêteté à peindre des intérieurs sans figures. Je préfère ses petits salons de Versailles à ses cathédrales… Nous lui devons des petits bijoux d'émotion et de large fini." Jacques-Emile Blanche "Il a recueilli sur des toiles le visage du vieux Versailles (…). Il a peuplé de visions impalpables des chambres " où il s'est passé quelque chose ", et il en a saturé l'atmosphère de particules historiques. Donner une telle impression avec certitude, avec vérité, c'est plus difficile que de faire évoluer des personnages costumés, dans ce qu'on appelle bêtement "une reconstitution historique"." Comte Robert de Montesquiou Maurice Lobre commence sa carrière au Salon de 1882 où il expose deux portraits, dont celui de son camarade de l'atelier Carolus-Duran, le peintre espagnol Ramon Casas...
