About the Item

Pierre Courtens is a French painter of Belgian origin, born in Brussels in 1921 and died in Ribérac Dordogne in 2004. Baron Pierre Courtens is the third generation of painters with his brother Jacques Courtens , son of Hermann Courtens, grandson of Franz Courtens. His grandfather and then his father, director of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Brussels, were ennobled by the King of the Belgians for their talent and this title became hereditary. Biography In 1942, he entered the Academy of Fine Arts of Saint-Josse-ten-Noode , having as professor the painter Jacques Maes. He also studied monumental decorative art at Anto-Carte and studied at the Academie Supérieure of the Kingdom of Belgium in Antwerp, in etchings and engravings on wood (Cours Broccas). In 1947, after numerous stays in France and Holland, Pierre Courtens settled in Paris where he gave free rein to his personal fantasy, moving away from that of classical ancestral painting. In 1947, the artist lived in Montparnasse and frequented the artists Jean-Michel Atlan, Oscar Dominguez, Ossip Zadkine, Mane Katz, frequently alongside Jacques Villon in Puteaux at Camille Renault , is one of the painters of the School of Puteaux.

Dimensions: (Frame) H 37" x W 29", (Panel) H 27" x W 19" Lazzaro Donati was born in Florence and attended the Academy of Fine Arts. He began to paint in 1953, and in 1955 held his first exhibition at the Indiano Gallery in Florence. Within three years eleven exhibitions followed in Italy, and as his reputation grew he was invited to give major exhibitions in London, Paris, New York, Chicago, Rio de Janeiro and Montevideo. He is considered one of the foremost contemporary Italian painters and his paintings hang in museums and private collections throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. His work is recalling the works of the french Raoul Dufy, Dunoyer de Segonzac, Francois Gall and Jean Jansem. This particular work is reminiscent of the work of Manolo Valdes. Donati lived and worked at 24 Piazza Donatello in Florence, the square where generations of artists have created works worthy of the great Florentine tradition. As you entered the narrow hallway to his studio, a gilded life-size Venetian angel beckoned you to his door.
