About the Item
Alfred Weber
1859-1922 I Swiss
The Musician
Signed “Alfred Weber” (lower left)
Oil on panel
This work by Swiss ecclesiastical genre painter Alfred Weber, best known for his humorous and meticulously detailed paintings, features a cardinal enjoying his leisure time. Weber's talent for rendering opulent interiors and his keen sense of comic narrative are evident in this painting. The cardinal, looking blissfully content, sits in his lavish living space playing the violin, accompanied by a flutist.
Alfred Charles Weber is one of the most esteemed French exponents of the Cardinal School of Painters. Educated to the highest standards of the Belle Époque period, Weber adhered to the figurative tradition. Like his contemporaries Brunery, Landini, Vibert and Marias-Milton, Weber gained recognition for his meticulously finished interiors, often portraying Catholic Church dignitaries in humorous activities. These works became highly fashionable among collectors, particularly in America, where many of his works found a home and remain highly sought after today.
