19th Century Figurative Paintings

Signed impressionist figurative oil on canvas circa 1890 by sought after French impressionist painter Jean Louis Forain. The piece depicts bathers in a dark landscape. Signature: Signed lower right Dimensions: Framed: 32"x37" Unframed: 24"x29" Provenance: Private French collection Jean Forain was the son of a painter and decorator and was apprenticed to a visiting card engraver. He studied briefly under Gérôme and Carpeaux at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and regularly visited the Louvre, where he copied works by the masters. It is said that for a time he made a precarious living by selling small drawings in the style of Grévin. He went on to collaborate on various publications as a draughtsman and columnist, starting in 1876 on La Cravache and then collaborating on the newspapers Le Journal Amusant, Le Figaro and L'Écho de Paris. This introduced him to the diverse worlds of Paris society - the world of the theatre, of shows, and of literature - where he wryly noted the habits and shortcomings particular to each. This led him to follow a route very characteristic of this period, already seen in the work of Steinlen, Caran d'Ache and Toulouse-Lautrec in the journals La Pléiade, La Vogue...

Oil on canvas, signed in the lower right. Measures 36" x 41" including the frame. Johann Georg Meyer Von Bremen (German 1813-1886) was a genre painter. He was the son of master baker Johann Georg Meyer. His mother was strictly religious.

François Jean SABLET (Morges, 1745 – Nantes, 1819) Portrait of Jean Claude Pellegrini (1787-1854) Honorary Divisional Inspector of Bridges and Roads. Oil on canvas Monogrammed and dated lower right 30x25cm 1819 Painter of portraits, Jean François Sablet, originally from Morges, born November 23, 1745, is the eldest son of Jacob Sablet (1720–1798), bourgeois of this city, house painter, gilder, art dealer, and Suzanne Dupuis (1722–1775), settled in Lausanne from 1754. In 1767, on June 8, he prepared to leave to “improve in the art of painting” with a viaticum from the Council of Morges and a scholarship from Bern. In Paris, he was a pupil of Joseph-Marie Vien at the Royal Academy (1768–73). In 1772, he was joined by his younger brother Jacques, who in 1776 left for Rome to pursue a brilliant career there. François, he remains in Paris, goes almost unnoticed there having neither competed, nor received a prize, nor even exhibited. In 1774, he signed and dated the Portrait of the Count of Artois, as Colonel-General of the Swiss and Graubünden. In 1777, he married Marie Madeleine Borel, daughter of a wood merchant, and settled near the Quinze-Vingt at the Bastille, as a portrait painter. He entered the Masonic lodge of Celestial Friendship and therefore enjoyed a certain notoriety. He executed the portrait of Charles-Henri, Comte d'Estaing, engraved by Charles-Etienne Gaucher (1779). In 1781, L. Perrot reproduced two of his works from the cabinet of Madame de Saint-Maurice, Childhood in the Countryside and Visit to the Nurse, for the philanthropic society founded in particular by Louis d'Affry, captain of the Swiss Guards. . In addition to the fact that these subjects denote an ideal of benevolence under the aegis of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, they testify to relations with the Swiss milieu. Finally, the format and quality of two large full-length portraits Vestal pouring incense (1781) and the Offering to Hymen (1783) reflect her favor in society on the eve of the Revolution and, although in shadow, he is able to build life annuities. From this first stage are dated two sketchbooks in black chalk and red chalk of characters, interior scenes, theatrical evocations, including the Vestal Virgin pouring incense. He also signed a series of wash illustrations relating to mythology and other subjects taken from Ovid. In 1789, the political climate suddenly darkened, the amateurs left, dragging the artists with them. François Sablet took the road to Switzerland and, in January 1792, joined his brother in Rome, a genre painter in Italian costumes and portraits in nature called "conversation pieces", models from which François was to draw inspiration. François spent the summer in Genzano in the Roman countryside, where he also devoted himself to landscape and popular costumes. Beat d'Hennezel, their compatriot, evokes the evenings at the Sablets' with their artist friends, busy drawing portraits while exchanging heated remarks on the political situation. However, the events in Paris had repercussions in Rome. In January 1793 the French representative was assassinated, the French and other French speakers...

White and Pink Peonies in Vase Charles Swyncop Brussels 1895 – 1970 Belgian Painter Signature: Signed top left Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: Image size 46 x 38 cm, frame size 64 x 56 cm Biography: Swyncop Charles was born in Brussels in 1895. Charles was a painter of landscapes, city views, seascapes, still lifes, flowers, children, genre scenes, figures (often Spanish beauties) and portraits. He was also illustrator and lithographer. Younger brother and pupil of Philippe Swyncop. He studied at the Academy of Brussels (1908-1917 and 1919-1920) with as teachers, J. Delville, H. Richir and Alfred Bastien. He also travelled to Rome and Venice. In Rome he studied iconography and the study of the great masters. Also found, like his brother, inspiration in Spain. Like his brother, he painted in a lighter genre. But, unlike his brother, he used subtle, spontaneous brushstrokes such as the French Fauvists. His colourful sea views are reminiscent of the works of Henri Matisse and André Derain. In 1920 Swyncop assisted his teacher Alfred Bastien with the panoramic painting “Panorama de l’Yser”. Other assistant painters were Charles Léonard and Jef Bonheur, also former pupils of Bastien. The work was done in what later became the mosque of the Cinquantenaire Park. From 1924 onwards, it was given a suitable panoramic building in Ostend. The canvas was severely damaged during the Second World War. Charles Swyncop took part in a group exhibition at ‘Maison d’Art Moderne’ in Brussels in 1920 together with Jean Colin, Philippe Swyncop, Arthur Navez, Samuel Milbauer, L. Bisschops, J. Payro and Jean-Jacques Gailliard. He received an honourable mention (third prize) on the Prize of Rome in 1920. In the years 1922-1923 he made study trips to Spain and Italy. There he made portraits of the local population. He regularly returned to Spain. Commissioned by the Ministry of Colonies, he painted decorative panels for the 1930 World Fair in Antwerp. Swyncop was a member of the group ‘La Lierre’ and took part in the annual exhibitions. Other members of ‘La Lierre’ included Alfred Bastien, Julius Brouwers, Louis Clesse, Henri De Clerck...

Since the 12th century, people in China have used folding screens and doors to partition and decorate their homes - the vivid scenes backing the screens added life and color to a room. This 19th-century painting is delicately brushed of gouache and ink on fabric and was originally part of a set of eight backing a wooden screen in northern China. The figure depicted is one of the mythical Eight Immortals of Taoism. Said to have attained immortality through their studies of the natural world, each of the Eight Immortals represents a different condition in life and together they impart a blessing of prosperity and longevity. Depicted here is immortal Lan Caihe, the patron saint of florists and gardeners. Standing atop a lotus leaf in open water, they hold a gardening hoe in one hand and a basket for flowers...
