About the Item

Title: *Courtship in the Forest* Author: French Romantic School Technique: Oil on canvas Support: Canvas mounted on a stretcher Unframed dimensions: 11.4 x 7.9 inches Framed dimensions: 15.4 x 11.8 inches Style: Costumbrist / Romantic Period: Late 19th or early 20th century Condition: Recently restored, in excellent condition Description: The painting *Courtship in the Forest* belongs to the French Romantic School, a movement that flourished during the 19th century, emphasizing the idealization of nature, human emotion, and everyday scenes. The work portrays a moment of gallantry as a traditionally dressed gentleman leans casually by a tree while courting a young woman holding a basket of green fruits. The serene forest setting, painted in warm earth tones and vibrant greens, creates a bucolic and dreamlike atmosphere. The style and subject matter echo the works of several prominent Romantic and pre-Impressionist artists: - Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot: Master of atmospheric landscapes and poetic natural scenes. - Jules Breton: Known for his idealized rural scenes and depictions of peasant women. - François Boucher: A precursor whose pastoral and gallant scenes influenced later Romantic artists. - Théodore Rousseau: A leading figure of the Barbizon School, renowned for his evocative nature scenes. - Jules Dupré: Noted for his melancholy landscapes with rich, expressive use of light and color. - Constant Troyon: Famous for his pastoral scenes and depictions of rural life, blending realism with Romanticism. This painting captures a delicate balance between the interaction of its characters and the surrounding landscape. The gentleman’s poised gesture and the young woman’s serene expression invite viewers into a timeless romantic narrative. It stands as an elegant example of the French Romantic tradition, where nature and human sentiment blend harmoniously.

Children playing in a forest
Located in Gent, VOV
Amédée Elié Servin — (1829-1884) : Children playing in a forest A nice and confidently painted scene of three children playing in the midst of a dark forest. Through clever use of colour and light and dark effects, Elié Servin creates a mysterious and fairytale-like scene in which all attention is drawn to the playing children. Amédée-Élie Servin (1829-1884) Servin Amédée-Élie was a French painter and engraver, founder of the artistic community of Villiers-sur-Morin. Servin was born to a tanner, who, disappointed by his son's failure in his studies, apprenticed him to an upholsterer where he learned to draw cartoons. He then entered the École des Beaux-Arts and studied under the painter Michel Martin Drolling. At this school, he befriended students of his generation, such as Jean-Jacques Henner, Benjamin Ulmann and Paul Baudry...
