Delphin Enjolras
"In the Boudoir"
Oil on Canvas
Signed Lower Left
Canvas: approx 29 x 22 inches
Framed: approx. 37 x 30 inches
Renowned as a portraitist of the upper echelons of society, Delphin Enroljas particularly favored depicting women in intimate settings alone or among friends, illuminated by a soft glow of light. Enjolras frequently used light to create atmosphere, highlighting the figure's exposed skin and diaphanous drapery.
Delphin Enjolras was born on May 13, 1857 in the historic town of Coucouron in the Ardèche. His formal artistic training began in Paris at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts under the esteemed Salon painter Jean-Léon Gérôme. Enjolras also studied with Pascal Adolphe Jean Dagnan-Bouveret and Gustave Claude Etienne Courtois, and is recorded as having furthered his artistic education at the Ecole de Dessin in Paris under Gaston Gérard.
Having made his debut at the Société des Artistes Français in 1889, he was elected a member in 1901 and continued to show works with the Société up until 1909.
Best known for his dazzling studies of young women illuminated by lamp light or engaged in domestic activities, he also portrayed a number of Orientalist subjects, genre scenes and society portraits. In addition Enjolras painted city views as well as beautiful landscapes. The majority of his works exhibited at the Salon (from 1890) tended to focus contemporary bourgeois settings of which the present work is typical.

Delphin Enjolras
Delphin Enjolras was born in France in 1857. He began his studies at the École de Dessin de la Ville de Paris, focusing primarily on watercolors. Enjolras soon moved on to study at the École des Beaux-Arts, learning from masters including the Academic great Jean-Léon Gérôme. Landscapes were his primary focus in his early career, though it became clear that painting women was where his true talent showed the brightest. Enjolras became a celebrated painter of nudes, and his later work became imbued with a stunning sensuality. Beginning in 1890, he frequently exhibited at the Paris Salon, and he joined the Société des Artistes Français in 1901. Enjolras's works are highly exhibited throughout France, including significant collections of his work at the Musée du Puy and the Musée d’Avignon.

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...

Cortès was born in Lagny, France on April 26, 1882. During his early lifetime, Paris was the center of the art world. Artist from across the globe traveled there to study and paint it's beautiful countryside and cities; views of Paris, or as it became known 'the City of Lights', were in great demand by both collectors and tourists.
