About the Item

Jérôme PREUDHOMME (Attributed to) Arras, v1735 - Paris, 1810 Oil on canvas 47 x 58 cm (67 x 78 cm with the frame) Very beautiful frame in carved and gilded wood of the 19th century Excellent condition "The seller of loves" is a fresco in the Arianna villa dated from the 1st century AD and discovered in 1759 during archaeological excavations of the ancient city of Stabies, now Castellammare di Stabia. The scene describes a merchant, a toilet sellerwoman (who was going into houses to offer clothes, jewelry and fabrics) who offers here little loves ! They are locked in a small cage. Women came to buy them. The theme of the loves' seller was chosen by Jean-Marie Vien for the first time in 1761 and was very successful when exhibited at the Salon in 1763. The big novelty is that Vien no longer represents gods and heroes of the mythology but begins to paint charming images trendy at the time. And Vien thus launched the so-called "Greek" vogue. Numerous artists made compositions on the theme of the Seller of loves : Jacques-Louis David, who studied with Vien, Jacques Gamelin and Johann Heinrich Füssli in painting; but also Bertel Thorvaldsen, Adamo Tadolini and Christian Gottfried Jüchtzeren in sculpture. Our painting is attributed to Jérôme Preudhomme. The range of very frank colors with the caracteristic yellow, pink, blue and green are recognizable in his paintings. Also the small round heads of his characters, both rustic and charming. And the nordic taste for little details. Painter of history, Preudhomme was also a painter of genre and of landscapes. Born in the north of France, in Arras, Jérôme Preudhomme arrived in Paris in 1761. He was received in 1773 as a “master painter by experience” at the Académie de Saint-Luc in Paris and exhibited there in 1774. Appointed professor in Paris, he was afterwards appointed in 1784 professor of the Saint-Quentin drawing school founded in 1782 by the royal painter Maurice Quentin-Latour.
