Antoine Blanchard
Place de la Madeleine- Post Impressionist Landscape Painting - Antoine Blanchard

c.1960

About the Item

Signed post impressionist figures in cityscape oil on canvas circa 1960 by French painter Antoine Blanchard. The work depicts a bustling scene at Place de la Madeleine in Paris, France in autumn. The leaves on the trees are turning orange and brown and falling onto the wet ground below. Lights illuminate the shopfronts and the street lights glow as people walk along the paths and trams pass along the cobbled street. Signature: Signed lower right Dimensions: Framed: 20"x25" Unframed: 13"x18" Provenance: We wish to thank Rehs Galleries for confirming the authenticity of this work. This work is included in the catalogue raisonne of the painter under ref MDPME1318.0009 Southwest Gallery, Dallas, U.S.A. Antoine Blanchard trained at the École de Beaux-Arts in Rennes for three years. Then from 1932 attended the École de Beaux-Arts in Paris for four years. He painted exclusively Parisian street scenes in which the view is of an idyllic Paris in any season, but always in 1900. Blanchard received his initial artistic training at the Beaux-Arts in Rennes, Brittany. He then moved to Paris in 1932 where he joined the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He won the Prix de Rome. Like Edouard Cortes (1882–1969) and Eugène Galien-Laloue (1854–1941), Antoine Blanchard essentially painted Paris and the Parisians in bygone days, often from vintage postcards. The artist began painting his Paris street scenes in the late 1950s. And like Cortès, often painted the same Paris landmark many times, in different weather conditions or various seasons. The most recurrent topics were views of the capital city on cloudy or rainy days. Showing streets busy with pedestrians in a rush to go home, and bright storefronts reflecting on wet streets. Many of the French Quarter art galleries of New Orleans handle Antoine Blanchard paintings and prints since this American City has a strong French history. His art is popular in international art auctions and there are many copies. Authentication of an original Blanchard/Masson painting is necessary and the authentic signature carries a secret known by art experts. On August 10th 1988, Antoine Blanchard died aged 78.
