About the Item

"Studies for Costumes" is an original drawing in pencil and pastel on paper, realized by Georges Antoine Rochegrosse . The state of preservation of the artwork is very good. Sheet dimension: 32.3 x 20.5 cm. The artwork represents beautiful Studies for Costumes, alongside with the description of each dress. Georges Antoine Rochegrosse (1859 - 1938, France): French painter and illustrator, was born in Versailles on August 2, 1859. He prepared to enter the world of art by studying with the orientalist painter Alfred Dehodencq, at the Académie Julian and by attending the studios of the portraitist Jules Joseph Lefebvre and Gustave Boulanger, the inventor of the style called Neo-Greek. In 1880 and 1881, after studying at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Rochegrosse tried unsuccessfully to obtain the Prix de Rome which would allow him to continue his studies in Rome, but when he exhibited at the Salon of 1882, he was awarded for the large painting "Vitellius dragged by the people through the streets of Rome", thus obtaining a scholarship to travel. At the beginning of his pictorial career, he devoted himself mainly to historical genre painting in a naturalistic style with very particular details of great emotional impact, which earned him the title of Officer of the Legion of Honor in 1892. Among his most famous works, preserved in various European museums and collections, which exemplify his strong and lively style, are to be remembered: Andromaque (1882-3; Musée des Beaux-Arts, Rouen), Jacquerie (1885), Le mort de Babylone (1891), La death of the Emperor Geta (1899, Musée de Picardie, Amiens), The Barbarian Ambassadors to the court of Justinian (1907). At the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, the beautiful Le Chevalier aux Fleurs (The Knight of Flowers) painted in 1894 and made in a style that was not usual is preserved. Georges Antoine Rochegrosse, died in Algiers in 1938.

Denis Auguste Raffet (1804-1860) Studies of characters, drawing and watercolor
By Denis Auguste Marie Raffet
Located in Paris, FR
Denis Auguste Raffet (1804-1860) Studies of characters Black pencil and watercolor on paper 18.5 x 25.5 cm Stamp of the Raffet Estate Sale (1911) on the lower right In good condition, foxings on the original mount Framed 34 x 40 cm Denis Auguste Marie Raffet (2 March 1804 – 16 February 1860) was a French illustrator and lithographer. He was a student of Nicolas Toussaint Charlet, and was a retrospective painter of the Empire. At an early age he was apprenticed to a wood turner, but took up the study of art at evening classes. At the age of 18 he entered the workshop of Cabanel, where he applied his skill to the decoration of china, and where he met Rudor, from whom he received instruction in lithography, in the practice of which he was to rise to fame. He then entered the École des Beaux-Arts, but returned to lithography in 1830 when he produced on stone his famous designs of Lützen, Waterloo, Le bal, La revue, and Les adieux de la garrison, by which his reputation became immediately established.[ Raffet's chief works were his lithographs of the Napoleonic campaigns, from Egypt to Waterloo, vigorous designs inspired by ardent patriotic enthusiasm. In this endeavor he was a contemporary of other French artist-lithographers of Napoleon and the French army including Hippolyte Bellangé, Horace Vernet, and Nicolas Toussaint Charlet. As an illustrator his activity was prodigious, the list of works illustrated by his crayon amounting to about forty-five, among which are Béranger's poems, the History of the Revolution by Adolphe Thiers, the History of Napoleon by de Norvins, the great Walter Scott by Auguste Defauconpret, the French Plutarch and Frédéric Bérat's Songs. He went to Rome in 1849, and was present at the siege of Rome, which he made the subject of some lithographs, and followed the Italian campaign of 1859, of which he left a record in his Episodes de la campagne d'Italie de 1859. His portraits in pencil...
