About the Item

Jean-Michel CELS The Hague, 1819 – Brussels, 1894 Oil on canvas 30.5 x 37.5 cm (42.5 x 35 cm with frame) Signed and dated lower left "JM Cels / 1843" 19th century frame in wood and gilded stucco Very good condition In the 1840s, the belgian painter Jean-Michel Cels painted landscapes and parts of nature such as trees, trunks and magnificent sketches of skies that can be seen for example at the National Gallery in London or the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Cels exhibited at the Salons in Brussels and Paris, for instance in 1850 a "Landscape of Brabant". Before traveling to Italy in 1847 and exhibiting at the Salon, Cels studied with Pierre-Jean Hellemans, a master of Belgian naturalist landscape painting. Our work is dated 1843 and is stille close by the style to his master Hellemans. But there is more : the remarkable rendering of the atmosphere and the sky, as well as a particularly detailed attention to details, particularly in the description of the plants in the foreground. It is the mark of the great master of landscape that Jean-Michel Cels will become. This artist has been rightfully rediscovered recently thanks to an exhibition organized at the beginning of 2018 at the gallery La Nouvelle Athènes in Paris.

  • GELIBERT French animal painting Dog Portrait Brittany hunting 19th Oil on panel
    Located in PARIS, FR
    Jules-Bertrand GELIBERT Bagnères-de-Bigorre (Hautes Pyrénées), 1834 – Capbreton (Landes), 1916 Oil on panel Signed lower right “Jules-Brd Gélibert” 32 x 40.5 cm (41 x 49 cm with frame ) Excellent condition Jules-Bertrand Gélibert was registered at the School of Fine Arts in Paris. He first studied with his father Paul and the sculptor Bernard Griffoul-Dorval. His first exhibited sculpture was already a portrait of a dog ("Druid", a dog of the Prince Imperial, in 1860). But Jules Bertrand Gélibert is above all well known today as a painter of hunting scenes and hunting dogs. His workshop was in Montmartre in Paris, 17 boulevard Pigalle. In 1861, he was given an honorable mention at the Salon des Artistes Français. In 1865 he lived in Clamart and studied with Louis-Godefroy Janin, the great painter specializing in dogs. We know that he also painted with his brother and when Jules was painting animals, Gaston was painting landscapes. Among his famous hunting pictures, in 1875 a "Hallali of deer in the ponds of Belle Croix" in the forest of Fontainebleau is noticed. Critics admired "the vigor of design and color, of movement and keenness of observation." At the Universal Exhibition of 1889 and that of 1900, he was given bronze medals. A great lover of hound hunting...

    Located in PARIS, FR
    Jacob VAN STRIJ (Entourage of) Dordrecht, 1756 - 1815 Oil on panel 46 x 60 cm (64.5 x 79 cm with the frame) Inscription on the back “Van der Eyden? » Very beautiful 19th century frame in gilded wood Very good condition (only a few stains) Our painting is very close to the art of Jacob van Strij studied and may have been painted in the circle of this artist. Jacob van Strij studied at the Academy of Painting in Antwerp and with Andreas Lens. Back in Dordrecht, he became a landscape painter. Both individually and with his brother Abraham, he painted various wallpapers for clients in Dordrecht. According to Jacob van Strij biographer Johannes Immerzeel, “His passion and concern for faithfully imitating nature went so far that Van Strij, as ill as he was (for years Van Strij was plagued with gout) he asked someone to pull his sled along the ice in the biting cold in order to make sketches for his paintings, which he then executed in his workshop ”. Van Strij used these sketches for various paintings. He was inspired by 17th century old masters, in particular Albert Cuyp...
