Hippolyte Camille Delpy
Ile de France, Barbizon River Scene

Undated

About the Item

This is a rare and very beautiful River scene by Barbican artist Hippolyte Delpy. Rare because it has a very white and bright sky as many Barbican works are heavier in palette. Aligning this painting a bit with the Impressionist influences of the day in France. Truly transporting it is an atmospheric work that is elegant. The panel inside the frame measure 18 x 30 inches. Size listed is with the frame - total size. Delpy achieved extraordinary success both during and after his lifetime. His paintings were very popular due in large part to his unique ability to depict nature both in realistic tones but also with a sentimental feeling gleaned from an understanding of the methods of his mentors, the great landscape painters Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot and Charles-Francois Daubigny. In FluBlandschaft in der Ile de France Hippolyte-Camille Delpy a pleasant riverscape view in the Ile de France (Island of France), one of the wealthiest areas within the environs of Paris. Here the artist deftly combines the poetical style of Corot with the more naturalistic style of his first and original teacher Daubigny to create a view of the Oise, Marne & Seine Rivers that nonetheless reflects Delpy’s own personality and style of painting. Delpy often painted landscape scenes at different times of the day to accentuate the changes in light and also from different angles again to record the distinctive transformations of luminosity and radiance. Here he undertakes the depiction of a boat seamlessly being rowed across the placid waters punctuated by lily pads and the reflection of the ubiquitous and native poplar trees of France. The subtle rendering of the landscape echoes the Classicism of Corot’s training, but Delpy couples this formality with a Romanticism that infuses the picture with distinct light and darkness, all the while revealing the influence of the Impressionists on his work. The picture also reveals Delpy’s understanding of the complexity of the landscape that was the hallmark of Daubigny’s art with the entire range of greens masterfully executed. However, to this understanding and appreciation Delpy applies an energy which is uniquely his own. Delpy infuses a greater intensity of color into his work but carefully avoids any distracting clashes of color. What ultimately emerges is an extraordinarily complex tonality in perfect harmony with the surroundings that invigorates and revitalizes the canvas. The water is beautifully executed and provides a second focal point to the rich fecundity of the fields to the left as well as the foliage that circles the waters. The lone farmhouse in the background coupled with the grasses in the foreground lead the eye of the viewer from the forefront to the horizon in the distance and towards the other worldliness of the shimmering light-suffused sky which occupies over half of the painter’s canvas. Hippolyte-Camille Delpy was born on April 6th, 1842 in the Burgundian region of France. His father

  • "Up the Valley"
    By Daniel Garber
    Located in Lambertville, NJ
    In an original Harer frame. Illustrated in "Daniel Garber Catalogue Raisonne" Vol. II, pg. 271, and in book titled "Blue Chips", pg. 33 Jim’s of Lambertville is proud to offer this artwork by: Daniel Garber (1880-1958) One of the two most important and, so far, the most valuable of the New Hope School Painters, Daniel Garber was born on April 11, 1880, in North Manchester, Indiana. At the age of seventeen, he studied at the Art Academy of Cincinnati with Vincent Nowottny. Moving to Philadelphia in 1899, he first attended classes at the "Darby School," near Fort Washington; a summer school run by Academy instructors Anshutz and Breckenridge. Later that year, he enrolled at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. His instructors at the Academy included Thomas Anshutz, William Merritt Chase and Cecilia Beaux. There Garber met fellow artist Mary Franklin while she was posing as a model for the portrait class of Hugh Breckenridge. After a two year courtship, Garber married Mary Franklin on June 21, 1901. In May 1905, Garber was awarded the William Emlen Cresson Scholarship from the Pennsylvania Academy, which enabled him to spend two years for independent studies in England, Italy and France. He painted frequently while in Europe, creating a powerful body of colorful impressionist landscapes depicting various rural villages and farms scenes; exhibiting several of these works in the Paris Salon. Upon his return, Garber began to teach Life and Antique Drawing classes at the Philadelphia School of Design for Women in 1907. In the summer of that same year, Garber and family settled in Lumbertville, Pennsylvania, a small town just north of New Hope. Their new home would come to be known as the "Cuttalossa," named after the creek which occupied part of the land. The family would divide the year, living six months in Philadelphia at the Green Street townhouse while he taught, and the rest of the time in Lambertville. Soon Garber’s career would take off as he began to receive a multitude of prestigious awards for his masterful Pennsylvania landscapes. During the fall of 1909, he was offered a position to teach at the Pennsylvania Academy as an assistant to Thomas Anshutz. Garber became an important instructor at the Academy, where he taught for forty-one years. Daniel Garber painted masterful landscapes depicting the Pennsylvania and New Jersey countryside surrounding New Hope. Unlike his contemporary, Edward Redfield, Garber painted with a delicate technique using a thin application of paint. His paintings are filled with color and light projecting a feeling of endless depth. Although Like Redfield, Garber painted large exhibition size canvases with the intent of winning medals, and was extremely successful doing so, he was also very adept at painting small gem like paintings. He was also a fine draftsman creating a relatively large body of works on paper, mostly in charcoal, and a rare few works in pastel. Another of Garber’s many talents was etching. He created a series of approximately fifty different scenes, most of which are run in editions of fifty or less etchings per plate. Throughout his distinguished career, Daniel Garber was awarded some of the highest honors bestowed upon an American artist. Some of his accolades include the First Hallgarten Prize from the National Academy in 1909, the Bronze Medal at the International Exposition in Buenos Aires in 1910, the Walter Lippincott Prize from the Pennsylvania Academy and the Potter Gold Medal at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1911, the Second Clark Prize and the Silver Medal from the Corcoran Gallery of Art for “Wilderness” in 1912, the Gold Medal from the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco of 1915, the Second Altman Prize in1915, the Shaw prize in 1916, the First Altman Prize in 1917, the Edward Stotesbury Prize in1918, the Temple Gold Medal, in 1919, the First William A...
