About the Item

Gabriel Griffon Born in 1866 and died in 1938 Picture Size: 29 x 36" (74 x 91cm) Outside Frame Size: 36 x 43" (91 x 110cm) A signed and framed antique oil painting on canvas. It is in excellent age appropriate condition Griffon was born in Toulouse, a town in Southwest France. He is best known for allegorical and genre paintings; his garden scenes and his ‘fêtes galantes’ remind one of the 18th century works of Watteau, Lancret etc but interpreted in a post-impressionist, fluid and ethereal manner. His light tones, populated by numerous characters, reduced to a harmonious symphony of light spots and his palette is clear and fresh with brushwork which is subtle yet assured. An appreciated sculptor, working for a long time in Bordeaux, he then divided his life between Nice and Agen (his house at 17 rue Carnot became the Griffon Museum). He who at the beginning was only a Sunday painter quickly saw his reputation increase. Today, his work is in collections in Paris, London, New York, Boston and Geneva.
