Provenance:
-Perhaps sale after the death of the artist, March 7-8, 1842, Paris, Hôtel des Ventes de la rue des Jeuneurs, No. 97 of the catalog, titled Study: view taken at Saint-Cloud
-Perhaps Sale of a nice collection of paintings, November 4-5, 1842, Paris, 2 place de la Bourse, Hôtel des Commissaires-Priseurs, No. 38 in the catalog, titled View taken in the park of Saint -Cloud
An important neo-classical artist from the end of the 18th and the first third of the 19th century, Dunouy is part, with painters like Jean-Victor Bertin or Bidauld, in the tradition of historical landscape initiated by Pierre-Henri de Valenciennes. He made two stays in Italy: the first time at the end of the 1780s, on the advice of Hubert Robert, where he traveled through the Roman and Neapolitan regions; another time between 1810 and 1815, during which he was Murat's official painter in the Kingdom of Naples. Returning to Paris, after a stay of several weeks in Lyon, at the time of the Restoration, he continued to receive commissions from the State under Louis XVIII, and to exhibit at the Salon until 1833. Paul Marmottan said of him: “…he must be placed in the forefront of landscape artists…as imagination, poetry, colors and drawing…Dunouy appeared in all the exhibitions of his time”.
Stylistically, our study of the motif corresponds well to the calm and pastoral atmospheres, the soft light, and the palette of gray/green/blue tones favored by Dunouy, which make him perhaps the most “Poussinesque” and also somewhat reminiscent of the works of Etienne Allegrain produced more than a century earlier. Dunouy had already represented Saint-Cloud in a painting presented at the Salon of 1804, General view of Saint-Cloud and its surroundings, acquired by the State. The artist frequented the place again as part of the castle decoration project entrusted to him by Louis XVIII. At the Salon of 1819, he exhibited a View of the park of Saint-Cloud, taken from Sèvres, perhaps the canvas (46 x 65 cm) kept at the Sceaux museum.
For our painting, Dunouy probably stationed himself near the Breteuil pavilion; we recognize the old Saint-Cloud bridge over the Seine, and in the background a little to the left, the silhouette of Mont Valérien. Our work certainly corresponds to the study acquired at the after-death sale of Dunouy's workshop, and resold at auction a few months later with several other works by the artist also coming from his after-death sale.

- Maurice Lobre (1862 -1951) The snackBy Maurice LobreLocated in BELEYMAS, FRMaurice LOBRE (Bordeaux 1862 - Paris 1951) Le goûter Huile sur toile H. 87 cm ; L. 91,5 cm Format peint d’origine, H. 101 cm ; L. 96 cm, disposé sur un châssis plus petit par l’artiste lui-même. Signée et datée 1888 en bas à droite Provenance : Collection privée, Lyon Exposition : 1889, Salon des Artistes Français, n°1719 « Intérieur », (ou 1720 nommé également « Intérieur ») Œuvres en rapport : Le Cabinet de toilette de Jacques-Emile Blanche, (titre erroné) H. 80 cm ; L. 85 cm, HST, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid, pendant de notre toile. Maurice Lobre a-t-il connu Marcel Proust ? On ne peut encore l'affirmer, bien qu'il ait eu de nombreux amis en commun avec l'écrivain. Mais sa peinture intimiste pourrait illustrer certaines pages de Du côté de chez Swann. Trois citations dues à des proches de Proust, l'une de l'écrivain Léon Daudet, la seconde du peintre Jacques-Emile Blanche, la dernière du poète mondain Robert de Montesquiou, donnent un aperçu de ce que fut la renommée de Maurice Lobre en son temps : "Il en va autrement de Lobre, le Vermeer français, le peintre exquis des intérieurs et des palais de Versailles, des reflets sur les meubles rares, de la lumière prisonnière des miroirs, des laques et des cuivres polis. Lobre est joyeux comme un coup de vent, qui fait envoler les préjugés et les poncifs, éloquent, passionné, ivre de la couleur et des formes, charmant et conquérant de toutes les matières. Il se promène ici-bas ainsi que dans un musée en plein-air, s'amuse de tout, rejette et maudit le laid et le vil, accueille et bénit le beau et le bien…" Léon Daudet L'Entre-deux-guerres. Souvenirs des milieux littéraires, politiques, artistiques et médicaux de 1880 à 1905. "Voici le patient, appliqué, sage M. Lobre. Il est difficile de mettre plus d'honnêteté à peindre des intérieurs sans figures. Je préfère ses petits salons de Versailles à ses cathédrales… Nous lui devons des petits bijoux d'émotion et de large fini." Jacques-Emile Blanche "Il a recueilli sur des toiles le visage du vieux Versailles (…). Il a peuplé de visions impalpables des chambres " où il s'est passé quelque chose ", et il en a saturé l'atmosphère de particules historiques. Donner une telle impression avec certitude, avec vérité, c'est plus difficile que de faire évoluer des personnages costumés, dans ce qu'on appelle bêtement "une reconstitution historique"." Comte Robert de Montesquiou Maurice Lobre commence sa carrière au Salon de 1882 où il expose deux portraits, dont celui de son camarade de l'atelier Carolus-Duran, le peintre espagnol Ramon Casas...Category
