Stephen Jacob
Gathering wild red poppies: woman in a poppy field French Impressionist painting

ca 1900

About the Item

One of my customers told me about a picture he bought from me that he "felt as if he had always known it... a painting that feels like returning home". For me, this present oil by Stephen Jacob is one of these rare works of art that exude this homeyness, in the best sense of the word, also. It is warm and simple, tranquil and peaceful. A young woman is gathering wild poppies in a field. Stephen Jacob (b. 1846) was born Louis Stéphane Bernard Jacob in Bagneux, just south of Paris, to a physician father. He studied with Ange Tissier, one of the most important painters of the Second Empire, and was able to show his work at the elite and highly selective Paris Salon from 1868. For a young artist just over the age of 20 at the time, this can be considered a major achievement. Works by Stephen Jacob can be found today in the Museum of Fine Arts in Beaune, the Museum of Saint Dizier, and the Museum of the Palace of Laval.

  • American Impressionist: Springtime, a sunny path in France 19thC oil painting
    By William Baptiste Baird
    Located in Norwich, GB
    This beautiful and light filled painting testifies of a new dawn: in the 1880s the landscape and animalier artist William Baird turns to Impressionism. Our Sunny Path, with looser brushwork and lighter colours, convey the fleeting nature of the present. Our lovely oil on canvas may well be homage to Claude Monet - according to Baird's inscription on the stretcher, it was painted in Mantes, which is only about 6 miles from Vétheuil, where Monet was living and working in the 1880s! William Baptiste Baird was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1847, but as an adult moved to Paris to perfect his painting technique. In Paris, Baird studied under Adolphe Yvon...
