Aimée Brune-pagès
The Bravo

About the Item

Aimée BRUNE-PAGES (Paris, 1803 – Paris, 1866) The Bravo Oil on canvas Signed lower left 54 x 46 cm 1832 Exhibitions: Paris Salon of 1833 under number 1829 Madame Brune, born Aimée Marie Alexandrine Pagès, pupil of Meynier, is one of the French women who distinguished themselves most in the arts, whether under the Restoration, the July Monarchy or the Second Empire. Still young, she obtained several orders from the government, and since then she has rarely let an exhibition pass without reaping new successes. She exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1822 to 1833 under her maiden name and then from 1834 until her last participation in 1853 under her married name. She obtained various medals at the Paris and provincial Salons, including in particular a first-class gold medal at the Salon of 1841. We see by Madame Brune, in the galleries of Versailles, the Portrait of the Lord of Pontchartrain, executed after a painting kept at the Château de Beauregard; the Portrait of Mademoiselle Leclermont after Nattier – and that of Lieutenant General Count Morand – at the Troyes Museum, the Vœu, donated by the government after the Salon of 1837; at the Musée d'Orléans, a study of Young Girl Kneeling. Ten years her senior, Aimée Pagès married on July 24, 1833 Christian Brune (1793 – 1849) who was also a painter by trade and professor of drawing at the École polytechnique. It is very likely that they had the opportunity to collaborate on some of their paintings, she being gifted for characters, he more for landscapes. The artist died in Paris on August 11, 1866 in his sixty-third year. Museums: Amiens, Bordeaux, Dijon, Eu, Laval, Nîmes, Orléans, Paris (Mus. Carnavalet, Mus. de l’Armée, Mus. du Louvre), Troyes, Versailles… Our painting takes as its theme The Bravo, a novel written by the American author James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851). The Bravo, whose plot takes place in Venice, names nothing more or less than a contract killer in Italian slang. This Venetian story, first published in English in 1831, was immediately translated into French. The scene romantically illustrates the moment when Gelsomina goes to the doge to beg him to pardon her lover Jacopo Frontoni. This novel had a rapid and frank success as demonstrated by the many representations that were made of it in painting during the decade 1835-1845. The work of Aimée Brune-Pagès was therefore the first of a long series in which painters such as Pierre Perlet, Félix Cottrau, Madame Clément, Mademoiselle Irma Martin, Charlemagne-Oscar Guet were also able to shine.

Sharing Bon-Bons

By Victor Gabriel Gilbert

Located in Missouri, MO

Early 20th Century Oil Painting by Victor Gilbert. Canvas dimensions 14.75 x 18 inches. Framed dimensions 22 x 25 inches. Born Paris, France 1847; Died 1933 Victor Gilbert's natural ability as an artist was recognized early, but his family lacked the financial resources to send the young man to the École des Beaux-Arts. Rather than enrolling in the École, Gilbert was apprenticed to Eugene Adam as an artisan painter and decorator. His only formal education was evening classes with Pierre Levasseur at the École de la ville de Paris. Perhaps it was his early immersion into la vie quotidienne that formed the basis for his later choices of subject matter for his art, that of the markets and streets of Paris. Despite his lack of formal training, Gilbert's admissions to the Paris Salons of 1873 and 1874 were very well received by audiences and critics alike; at this time he was supported by the dealer Paul Martin, who was an important proponent of the Impressionist movement. Gilbert emerged in the early 1880s as the primary Realist painter to record the French marketplace...
