About the Item

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.

Located in Missouri, MO
Guiseppe Aureli (1858-1929) "An Opulent Evening" c. 1880s Watercolor on Paper Signed Lower Right Site Size: approx. 30 x 20 inches Framed Size: approx. 37 x 29 inches Giuseppe Aureli (December 5, 1858 in Rome – 1929) was an Italian painter and watercolorist. His work is noted for its historical subject matter, portraits of Italian noble families as well as genre paintings and local scenes, especially work with Oriental themes. He received his early art education at the Academia de San Luca where he was the pupil of Pietro Gabarini and Cesare Maccari.[1] He exhibited in various exhibitions; including: The International Exhibition of 1888 in Munich and the World Fair of 1893 in Chicago, but his Oriental works were rarely included in these early exhibitions. Having his workshop at 48 Via Margutta in Rome, Aureli was in a position to exchange ideas with the most prolific Orientalist artists at that the time. He used the same staircase that led to a rabbit-warren of studios including those of Filippo Bartolini, Enrico Tarenghi...
