About the Item

Attributed to François Boucher (1703–1770) – "Da Tour Boileau (Beauvais)" Artist: Attributed to François Boucher (attributed) Title: "Da Tour Boileau (Beauvais)" Medium: Oil on canvas Framed Dimensions: 125 x 107 cm Canvas Dimensions: 101 x 84 cm Frame Plate Inscription: "François Boucher – Da Tour Boileau (Beauvais)" Description This elegant pastoral landscape, attributed to the celebrated French Rococo Attributed to master François Boucher (1703–1770), captures a picturesque countryside scene, likely inspired by the idyllic rural surroundings of Beauvais. The composition presents a tranquil riverside setting, featuring charming cottages, lush greenery, and figures engaged in leisurely activity, embodying the refined, idealized vision of rural life that was popular in 18th-century French art. At the center of the painting, a small wooden boat carrying elegantly dressed figures drifts along the calm waters, while a standing figure on the shore appears to be serenading or reading. The architectural details, such as the conical thatched roof and rustic bridges, add a fairy-tale quality, characteristic of Boucher’s decorative approach to landscape painting. Boucher, known primarily for his mythological and allegorical compositions, also created pastoral landscapes imbued with romanticism and theatricality, catering to the taste of aristocratic patrons, including Madame de Pompadour. This piece reflects his ability to infuse natural scenes with elegance, warmth, and a touch of fantasy, aligning with the Rococo movement’s fascination with pleasure, escapism, and the beauty of nature. Provenance & Condition Framed in an ornate gilded frame, which enhances its period authenticity and decorative appeal. Patina and minor wear, consistent with age. The presence of a frame plate with the inscription "François Boucher" suggests a historical attribution, though further authentication is recommended for scholarly or investment purposes. This highly collectible piece would make an exceptional addition to a collection of 18th-century European art, Rococo interiors, or historical decorative arts.

Fine 19th century oil painting of a bustling Austrian/Germanic village with horse, rider and various figures outside an Inn, attributed to Arthur Georg Ramberg (1819-1879), well known for figurative genre paintings. The rider is carrying a bugle, apparently announcing news to the people; men are sitting by the table drinking, one with a raised stein. Women walking by stop to listen, a man carrying a sack has stopped to watch the rider, people are in the Inn doorway, and one is looking out the window. Children pause their playing. The scene is under a large tree beside the Inn; a whole community waiting for news. There is a great deal of detail in the scene, tree and Inn house...

Théophile Clément BLANCHARD - Landscape in Normandy
Located in PARIS, FR
Théophile Clément BLANCHARD 1820 - 1849 Oil on canvas 27 x 40 cm (45 x 58 cm with the frame) Signed lower right "Blanchard" Very nice 19th century gilded wooden frame French painter, lithographer and illustrator, Théophile Clément Blanchard is part of of those painters of the romantic era who represented picturesque views of France like Alexis Daligé de Fontenay or Eugène Cicéri. These painters traveled a lot and sought out picturesque sites, particularly in Normandy, Brittany, Switzerland and the Pyrenees. Blanchard participated in the illustration of “Picturesque and Romantic Travels in the Old France”. But the works of this romantic painter are rare because Blanchard died very young at twenty-nine year old ! We still know of him, in particular, a view of Bugey (dated 1846) which is at the Louvre Museum and a “Delicious Landscape” (from the 1840s) at the Salies museum at Bagnères de Bigorre...
