Note: Charles Léon Cardon was besides an artist himself, also a fervent art collector and designer. He was a founding member of the Optique Belge and was also responsible for redecorating museums of fine art as well as modern art in the late 20th century.
Biography: Charles Léon Cardon, a Belgian painter born on April 18, 1850, in Brussels, was known for his evocative genre scenes and serene landscapes. Cardon's artistic journey began in a city renowned for its rich cultural heritage. His work reflects not only his technical prowess but also a deep appreciation for the subtleties of everyday life and the natural world.
Cardon was more than just an artist; he was also a passionate art collector and a skilled designer. His dedication to the arts extended beyond his own creations, influencing the broader art community in Belgium. As a founding member of Optique Belge, Cardon played a crucial role in the promotion and support of visual arts within the country.
One of his significant contributions was the redecoration of the museums of fine art and modern art in the late 19th century. His vision and meticulous attention to detail helped transform these spaces into vibrant centers of artistic expression and cultural preservation.
The artist died in his hometown on September 5, 1920. A bronze bust of the artist is in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, signed by Thomas Vinçotte (Antwerp 1850 - Brussels 1925). This sculpture of Cardon's head and shoulders was generously donated by the Amis de Charles Léon Cardon in 1926, symbolizing the lasting admiration and respect he garnered from his peers and successors.

William Bodfish Oil Painting Titled "The Sister's Visit", Dated 1888
Located in New York, NY
Two figures in 19th century dress sit at a table in a cafe.
Provenance: Private Collection, New Jersey
Originally based in New York City, William Bodfish was a talented artist who gained recognition for his illustrations and cartoons in the late nineteenth century. A painter of genre scenes, he also created detailed illustrations of hunting, whaling and fishing adventures for such magazines as Harper's Weekly. In the years following the Civil War, he traveled to the American West, joining the legion of journalists and illustrators who recorded the development of the new frontier. He was considered by historians to be one of the most “able cartoonists” to tackle the West. During his lifetime, Bodfish exhibited work at the National Academy of Design and the Art Institute of Chicago. Likely created after the artist’s departure from New York, The Sister’s Visit records a quiet moment between two siblings. Seated before a lovely spread of luncheon items, including a bowl of oranges...
