Tito LessiItalian Art nouveau Nude Boudoir painting woman warming herself by a stove Pariscirca 1890
circa 1890
About the Item
A very pure and tender rendition of a female nude. Elegant in its simplicity, the artist's model, is warming herself by a large stove!
It is a work by Tito Lessi dating from circa 1890. Lessi was born in Florence, Italy and studied at the Florentine Academy of Fine Arts, under Enrico Pollastrini and Antonio Ciseri. It was there that he became interested in history paintings, which was considered especially prestigious, due to the difficulties involved in assuring their accuracy.
In 1884, the gallery owner, Charles Sedelmeyer, invited him to Paris, where he painted The Testament; Le lever du Dauphine; L'Interrogatorio (The Interrogation); and Le Lùeur. Some of these were exhibited at the Salon. He remained in Paris until 1896.
While there, in 1893, he created his best known work, showing Galileo's meeting with Vincenzo Viviani. It was awarded a gold medal at the Salon d'Automne and went on to obtain other important awards in Munich and Leipzig. Our work by Lessi comes from a French collection and dates from his Paris period. Size of artwork alone 16 x 31 cm, not examined out of the mount.

French 19th Century Romantic Period 1830s Paris Society Beauty Portrait
By Adele Grasset

French 19th Century Romantic Period 1830s Parisian Lady Portrait Madame Seguin
By Adele Grasset
Located in Norwich, GB
A stunning portrait of a Parisian beauty from the romantic period by Adele Grasset (active ca 1830-1850). With her intelligent eyes and determined look, doesn't this lady bear great resemblance to Chopin's paramour George Sand?
The sitter is Jeanne Marie Vidal, wife of Claude Auguste Seguin, from a prominent family in Avignon, as the family tree attached to the back for the frame indicates. Research in old annals has also revealed that Madame Seguin was a modern and independent lady: she worked in lady's fashion in Paris, and patented wrapping mechanism that protected lady's hats during their transport!
As often with woman artists of the 18th and 19th century, there is little biographical information available on the artist, Adèle Grasset. We do know however, that she had studied with the highly prominent artist François Gérard (1770-1837) , known also as the Baron Gérard...
