About the Item

French oil painting on canvas "Le cardinal myope" by Marcel Brunery 19Th Title: Le cardinal myope Dimensions canvas : 38 cm x 45 cm Dimensions frame: 58 cm x 65 cm Artist: Marcel BRUNERY (1871/93-1982) Signature: signed lower right Nationality: French School : French school Provenance : Private sale Paris Biography : Marcel Brunery was born in Paris into a family of respected artists, his father being François Brunery (1849-1926). Although the Brunery family established themselves as artists in Paris and London, they always remained true to the Italian heritage. They innovated a particular style of painting in France during the late nineteenth century. This was the depiction of cardinals and other members of the clergy enjoying those temporal delights their calling allowed them. Marcel’s approach to his works, like many painters of this genre, increasingly poked fun at the Lords of the Church and delighted in portraying them in domestic dramas, showing their susceptibility to the trials and tribulations familiar in every-day life. The attention paid by Brunery to the settings in which he placed his narratives was incredibly detailed. He accurately reproduced every aspect of the rooms he painted - the fine tapestries and carpets, the furniture, the silver, satins, and silks - everything was perfect. Marcel was trained by his father and chose to paint in the same style, paying great attention to detail and vivid colouring. He was born in the late 1880s and continued to paint into the middle years of the 20th Century, achieving a particular success in 1935 at the Salon des Independants. Brunery’s canvases are lavishly coloured and painted in a masterly way, accounting for his popularity, which has remained constant over the years. The artist exhibited at the Salon des Independants in 1935. Today Marcel's paintings are as popular as his father’s and are collected throughout the world.
