Leon Richet
Paysanne dans un bois

About the Item

"Paysanne dans un bois", oil painting on wooden panel, signed in the bottom left corner, 48.9x32.4cm. Origin: -Christie's New York, sale on May 29th 1981, lot no. 24 -Rindoko Museum, in Tochigi, Japan -Private collection in 2020, after sale Museum collection As a young man, Richet followed painting classes from Détrez, an old student of Léon Cogniet's. In Paris, he built a friendship with Teinturier (painter from Valencia) and became a student of Jules Lefebvre's but most importantly the disciple of Narcisse Diaz de La Pena, with whom he collaborated ( some canvas bare both their signatures). They both share a remarkable audacity in their enameled way of treating reflections of light on water as well as the the effects of the sun on the clouds. At the Salon de Paris, he obtains a honorable mention in 1885, a third class medal in 1898 and a second class medal in 1900. Thereon in he becomes exempt of contest and is nominated for the Cross of the Légion d'Honneur. Richet is a diligent painter of the Fontainebleau forest, and shows great fidelity, albeit sometimes very lyrical, to the school of Barbizon. Museums: Amsterdam – Musée d’Orsay - Montreal – Nice – Reims – Rennes - Boston – West Yorkshire - San Francisco

Her works have been in the past approached to the works of Anselm Kiefer (b. 1945) and Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1770), but in Gullotta's paintings the absence of color makes the spaces particularly ethereal, allowing them to be ideally lifted to new places and to new life. An artist of international caliber who has decided to entrust her return to her homeland to Almach Art Gallery in Milan, while maintaining connections with important galleries, such as Marlborough Fine Art in London and Galerie Koch in Hanover.
