About the Item
A beautiful watercolor by Adrien Moreau (1843-1906) showing a woman with freshly picked flowers in a basket resting in the grass by the sea. The colors are strong and it is mounted in a beautiful gilded frame.
Adrien Moreau was a French genre and historical painter, sculptor and illustrator.
Born in Troyes, he began his artistic training as an apprentice glassmaker, but left for Paris to study at the École des Beaux-Arts under Léon Cogniet and Isidore Pils. He first exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1868, being described by fellow artist and critic, Joseph Uzanne, as "among the ranks of the greatest painters of contemporary genre". After a break because of the Franco-Prussian war, it was his 1873 work, "Concert d’Amateurs dans un Atelier d’Artiste" which really established him in the public eye, and his art became in great demand, particularly in America.
He continued to exhibit at the salon until the end of his life, being awarded a silver medal in 1876 for "Repose at the farm". He also won silver medals at the 1889 and 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris. Moreau became a Chevalier of the Légion d'honneur in 1892.
Moreau painted in oil and watercolor, and during his life became well known for his historical depictions of the French upper classes in past centuries, though he was equally at home in genre landscape paintings featuring peasants and their everyday life. He provided watercolor illustrations and drawings for books by authors such as Voltaire, Victor Hugo, Alphonse Daudet and Honoré de Balzac. He also wrote a book on the history of his family called "Les Moreau" (1893).
He died in Paris in 1906. His work is represented in museums in Carcassonne, Nantes and Troyes.

- 'The Greek Temples of Paestrum' by Paul Albert Girard, Paris 1839 – 1920, FrenchLocated in Bruges, BEPaul Albert Girard Paris 1839 – 1920 French Painter 'The Greek Temples of Paestrum' Signature: Signed lower left Medium: Aquarelle Dimensions: Image size 29 x 49 cm, frame size 41 x 61cm Provenance: Paestum, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stands as the best-preserved Greek archaeological site in Italy. Situated just south of Salerno, near the picturesque Amalfi Coast, and in proximity to Pompeii, Paestum remains somewhat undiscovered by many travelers. In its prime, Poseidonia thrived, evident in the remnants of city walls, colossal temples, and the overall urban layout. As Magna Grecia expanded and established trade routes, conflicts arose between the Greek colonists and the indigenous Samnite and Lucani tribes. Archaeological findings, however, suggest a period of peaceful coexistence between the Greeks and the Lucanians. This harmony was disrupted in 273 BC with the arrival of the Romans. The Romans, while altering the city's name to Paestum, did not obliterate it. Remarkably, their admiration for the splendidly constructed temples played a role in shaping classical architecture on the Italian peninsula, influencing subsequent Roman development and style. The Romans made additions to Paestum, including a forum, an amphitheater, a temple of their own, and residential structures, some of which still stand today. In 79 BC, the eruption of Vesuvius dealt a partial blow to Paestum, altering its landscape. Despite this setback, the city's survival attests to its resilience and enduring cultural significance. Today, visitors can explore the fascinating remnants of Paestum, a testament to the confluence of Greek and Roman influences, and the architectural prowess that has withstood the test of time.

Biography: Born on December 13, 1839, in the artistic heart of Paris, Paul-Albert Girard emerged as a luminary in the world of 19th-century French painting. The son of the esteemed painter Pierre Girard, he inherited not just a name but also a passion for the arts that would define his illustrious career. Paul Albert was a versatile artist, displaying his mastery across various genres – from capturing the essence of everyday life in genre scenes to breathing life into captivating portraits and landscapes. His prowess extended to watercolors, mural compositions, and the rich tapestry of Orientalist paintings depicting scenes from North Africa. In 1857, Paul-Albert embarked on his formal artistic education at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Under the guidance of eminent mentors such as Jean Joseph Bellel, François Edouard Picot, and Hippolyte Flandrin...Category
