About the Item

Léon Couturier (1842-1935) "Le Jeune Chateaumorand dans la batterie ravagée, épisode des guerres franco-anglaises" (The young Chateaumorand fighting, episode of the anglo-french wars) Oil on mahogany panel Signed lower left. 20 x 27 cm a label on the reverse with indication of the title In its original frame (very damaged) If the frame is very damaged - but still full of charm - the painting itself is in perfect condition, a yellow varnish overall The label indicates it was presented to a Salon "Hors concours". About the subject : Joseph-Charles Joubert de La Bastide, knight then Marquis de Châteaumorand (or Château-Morand), born June 3, 1722 died on June 3, 1722 in Paris, was a naval officer and colonial administrator. He was governor of Santo Domingo fromJanuary 28, 1716 at July 1718, and Lieutenant General of the Naval Armies (1 st November 1720). He was the nephew of Admiral de Tourville, he entered the navy service under the auspices of his uncle in 1672 and followed his uncle in almost all his campaigns. He served during the War of the League of Augsburg and particularly distinguished himself during the Battle of La Hougue , the May 29, 1692 with the command of Glorieux, of 66 guns. The historian of the Navy, Léon Guérin writes, not without lyricism: "But we must not omit this French vessel whose English had long shown themselves to each other with terror with the black cross attached to the topsail before: it is the Glorious, which measures neither courage nor achievements. from its crew to the number of its guns; he counts only 66 at most: but what cannot be counted is the number of men he has mown down on enemy bridges. The captain of the vessel with the black cross is the Chevalier de Château-Morand who covered himself in this battle with a glory that no other eclipsed; zero, except that of Tourville, who was, at the same time, superhuman glory. " It was to him that the English admiral Edward Russell , after the battle of La Hougue , wrote to compliment him on what he "had made a very fine fire on himself and his sailors" The painter : Léon Antoine Lucien Couturier , born on December 29 , 1842 in Mâcon and died on December 21 , 1935 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, was a naturalistic painter , specializing in maritime and military subjects. Léon Couturier was admitted to the École des beaux-arts de Lyon in 1860, then went to Paris in 1864 where he was a student in the studio of Alexandre Cabanel . He participated in the defense of the capital during the siege of Paris by the Prussians in 1870. This traumatic experience of war and defeat was the source of inspiration for a first series of paintings devoted to the conflict and then to the representation of soldiers and military life. A stay in North Africa seems to be at the origin of a certain number of works dedicated to colonial troops. From the 1880s , he devoted his brush to the representation of military ships and sailors of the State. These productions earned him marks of official recognition. Appointed painter of the Navy in 1890 and decorated with the Legion of Honor on December 31, 1897, he benefited from public commissions for paintings. At the end of his life, his painting abandoned warships for fishing and fishermen . He exhibited regularly at the Salon of French artists of the National Society of Fine Arts , where he obtained a medal of 3 th class in 1881. He also received a bronze medal at the Paris Exposition in 1889 and to the ' Universal Exhibition of 1900. He also worked as a book illustrator. He signed the drawings for three collections by the poet of the sea Yann Nibor : Chansons et récits de mer (1893, preface by Pierre Loti ), Nos matelots (1895) and La Chanson des cols bleus, popular songs of the French fleet (1901) . He illustrated La Marine française by military historian Maurice Loir (1893) and La Guerre Fatale France-Angleterre by Captain Danrit (Flammarion, 1900, 2 vol.). His works are held by different french Museums : Cahors, musée de Cahors Henri-Martin Chalon-sur-Saône, musée Nicéphore-Niépce Cognac, musée d'art et d'histoire Mâcon, musée des Ursulines Paris, musée national de la Marine Versailles, musée de l'Histoire de France
