1882

About the Item

Frank Charles Peyraud (1858-1948) Coastal landscape, 1882 Charcoal and shading on paper Signed "C. Peyraud", dated "82" and dedicated "à l'ami Baradat" ? lower right 29.5 x 56 cm Slightly oiled A French-born artist born in Switzerland in 1858, Frank Charles Peyraud showed an early interest in drawing and painting. He grew up in a rural environment before studying architecture at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, encouraged by his father. In 1877, he entered the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In 1881, Frank Peyraud moved to the United States, where he first worked as a painter of panoramas, very popular at the end of the 19th century, before perfecting his artistic training at the Art Institute of Chicago, a school founded in 1866. In the late 1880s, he established himself as a landscape painter in the flourishing art world of his adopted city, and was a founding member of the Chicago Society of Artists. In the 1890s, critics praised the poetry of his Impressionist paintings of local landscapes. In 1899, he won the Young Fortnightly Prize for best painting at the Art Institute's annual exhibition of Chicago artists. In 1909, the same institution gave him his first monographic exhibition. Frank Charles Peyraud, the dean of Chicago landscape painters, concentrated on Midwestern landscapes, which he painted in both watercolor and oil. The drawing we present, dated 1882 and unfortunately unlocatable, would have been produced the day after his arrival in the United States.
