The Chess Game
Signed "Georges Croegaert Paris" (lower right)
Oil on panel
This oil on panel by Belgian artist Georges Croegaert is a rich and exuberant portrait of the life of a clergyman. Entitled The Chess Game, the painting displays a wonderful sense of realism, exhibiting Croegaert’s skill for capturing texture, light, shadow and detail in each and every brushstroke. His works are distinguished by his uncanny gift for meticulous workmanship and are beloved for their intrinsic humor and charm.
Born in Antwerp in 1848, Croegaert studied at the local Academy, where he was greatly influenced by the style of his relation Jan Jakob Croegaert van Bree. He moved to Paris in 1876 and established himself as an important painter of genre scenes, society women, and, most of all, Cardinals. Paintings exposing the worldly wealth enjoyed by the high-ranking members of the Church were highly popular during this era of French history. Discontent with the hypocrisy and lavish lifestyles of the clergy, the public welcomed satirical works such as this one.
Croegaert's tremendous skill for detail offered the greatest commentary on the lifestyles led by high-ranking officials of the Church. In The Chess Game, elaborate furniture and exotic fabrics are set against lavish wall coverings to convey a scene of opulence and luxury. Croegaert's dedication to detail was so exacting that he often used single-hair mink brushes, allowing him to achieve the minute details found in the present work.
The artist exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon between 1882 and 1914 and at other locales throughout Paris, Brussels and Vienna. He experienced worldwide popularity during his lifetime, particularly amongst wealthy English and American collectors.

Young girl from Tetouan, Morocco

Located in New Orleans, LA
Young girl from Tetouan, Morocco
Signed (center right)
Oil on canvas
In this important oil on canvas, French Orientalist painter Charles Landelle captures the engaging visage of a young Moroccan woman in a moment of tranquil contemplation. Seated on the floor of what is almost certainly an opulent riad, the young woman wears an intricately embroidered Moroccan kaftan and headdress. The sumptuous patterns on the floor and in the background lend an additional warmth to the strikingly vivid red hues which dominate the composition and are a hallmark of Landelle’s work.
The symbols behind the young woman may represent either the Jewish Star of David or the Islamic Seal...
