About the Item

Charles COUSIN Canvas Size: 26 x 32" (66 x 82cm) Outside Frame Size: 36 x 42" (92 x 108cm) Oil on Canvas French School In 1807 he was born in Paris. He died in 1887. Cousin was a painter of portraits, landscapes and landscapes with water views. Little is known about his early artistic career, however he is recorded as having studied under Léon Joseph Florentin Bonnat, who was a professor at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris and was one of the leading portraiture artists of his day. Early in his career Cousin painted portraits in the manner of his tutor Bonnat, but later went on to master landscapes and embraced a looser more impressionistic manner of painting. Most notable are his exquisite paintings of Venice, where he manages to capture the tranquil reflections of light on the canals and waterways of that magical city. He exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Francais. Most of his views were of French and Italian landscapes with his scenes of Venice being the most popular.
