Circle of Thomas Faed - Mid 19th Century Oil, An Admirer

Unknown

About the Item

This romantic scene depicts a young couple resting beneath a tree. The boy looks longingly at the girl who stares into the distance in a dream-like trance. The maiden rests her basket of foliage on her skirt as she gently plucks a plant from the ground. This painting is of the style of Thomas Faed and his artistic circle in the mid 19th century. Genre paintings with strong narratives were gaining aesthetic popularity in Scotland during this time and artists with showed a particular interest in presenting the everyday life of country people. Unsigned. The panel supplier's stamp to the reverse has helped us to date this painting as mid 19th century. This particular stamp was used by Brown's in the 1850's, which was stamped onto all of their art supplies at the time. Presented in an ornate gilt composition frame with foliate details. On board.

  • Le triomphe de la mort, 2000, oil on canvas by Jean Jansem
    By Jean Jansem
    Located in Carouge GE, GE
    Jean Jansem (1920-2013) Le triomphe de la mort, 2000 Huile sur toile Signée en bas à gauche et à droite 150 x 200 cm Bibliographie: Cette oeuvre est enregistrée dans les archives de l’Association des Amis de Jean Jansem. Figurera dans le catalogue critique de l’oeuvre de Jean Jansem actuellement en préparation par l’association des amis de Jean Jansem Historique: L’indigence d’après-guerre et la difficulté inhérente de trouver les matériaux adéquats et/ou habituels, telles les couleurs, très onéreuses alors, ont poussé les artistes figuratifs de l’après-guerre, en corrélation avec les préoccupations de l’époque, à redéfinir les paradigmes de la représentation. Il n’est plus question de chercher un sens mais bien pour les artistes d'étudier l’objet pour son intérêt formel, sa qualité intrinsèque. Le regard de l’artiste devient analytique et dépeint alors l’objet pour ce qu’il est et non plus pour son pouvoir évocateur ou symbolique. La nature morte n’est plus une invitation sensuelle à la ripaille, la pomme ou la pêche n’évoque aucune envie de croquer, la cruche aucune ivresse, la volaille...

  • La salle de répétition de l'opéra de Paris, 1968, oil on canvas by Jean Jansem
    By Jean Jansem
    Located in Carouge GE, GE
    Jean Jansem (1920-2013) La salle de répétition de l’Opéra de Paris, 1968 Huile sur toile Signée en bas à gauche 130 x 195 cm Provenance: Wally Findlay Galleries, New York Bibliographie: Cette oeuvre est enregistrée dans les archives de l’Association des Amis de Jean Jansem. Figurera dans le catalogue critique de l’oeuvre de Jean Jansem actuellement en préparation par l’association des amis de Jean Jansem Historique: 1964: c’est l’inauguration du nouveau plafond du Palais Garnier par Marc Chagall commandé par André Malraux alors ministre chargé des affaires culturelles. Commande qui fera couler beaucoup d’encre entre les partisans du modernisme et les tenants du conservatisme. Malraux tiendra bon, si ce n’est une légère concession: pour éviter de détruire l'ancien plafond et son décor, il sera masqué par une toile amovible de quelques 240m2 réalisée par Chagall dans les ateliers des Gobelins puis tendue par-dessus. Cette commande, autant acte politique que intellectuel, intervient à une époque où Malraux, convaincu que l’art contribue au rayonnement international de la France, soutiendra notamment les commandes du Mobilier national dont Pierre Paulin sera l’une des grandes figures, et où la CGT (Compagnie générale transatlantique) lancera un de ses plus gros chantiers avec le mythique paquebot France...
