Early 19th Century

About the Item

Georges-Antoine Rochegrosse 1859-1938 French La Princesse Bleue Oil on canvas Signed lower left Canvas: 27 1/8" high x 32 1/8" wide Frame : 37 3/8" high x 41 3/4" wide Exposed at the French Salon in 1931, Paris. Georges Rochegrosse was one of the most prestigious painters of his time. Adulated and covered with honors, he was nonetheless an archaeologist. He painted great reconstructions of classical antiquity but also more intimate and sensual paintings. He came from an intellectual and an artistic social standing. Rochegrosse studied at the famous Académie Julian, then at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts where he was twice admited to compete to the Prix de Rome. In 1883, the Prix du Salon allowed him a trip to Italy and then to the various European capitals. His love, Marie Leblond, was throughout his life, his muse and the heroine of his works. She was empress, goddess... The couple spent the winter months at El-Biar, on the heights of Algiers Bay, where the painter often found the oriental decorations of his compositions. He was elected as an Officer of the Legion of Honor in 1892 and received the medal of honor in 1906 for The Red Delight. Rochegrosse also illustrated several books. Today, some of the drawings for these illustrations are in the Department of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum, London. He lived his final years in Algeria, but returned to Paris where he died and buried in Montparnasse Cemetery. His wife, Marie Rochegrosse (née Leblond), had died in 1920.

  • Woman with Two Children in Red - Dutch Style Interior Scene in Oil on Canvas
    By Joseph Tomanek
    Located in Soquel, CA
    Woman with Two Children in Red - Interior Scene in Oil on Canvas Lovely interior scene by notable artist Joseph Tomanek (Cech-American, 1889-1974). A woman sits near a window, holding a small child dressed in bright red in her lap. Another child, somewhat older, stands next to her, looking at the young child. Soft lights spills though the window, illuminating the scene in a warm glow. A plant with red flowers sits on the windowsill, and foliage can be seen outside. Signed "Tomanek" in the lower right corner (note that the shape above the signature is a toy train) Presented in a carved wood frame with a linen liner. Frame size: 30.75"H x 26.75"W Canvas size: 24"H x 20"W Tomanek, the son of a carpenter, was born in Moravia. His family discouraged his art talent and wanted him to be a shoemaker. He studied in his homeland of Czechoslovakia at the School of Design in Prague. He emigrated to America around the turn of the century and arrived in Chicago in 1910 and worked as an interior decorator. He attended the Art Institute of Chicago and studied with Antonin Sterba. He also studied with Albert Krehbiel and K.A. Buehr. He was a member of the Bohemian Artist Club, Association of Chicago Painters, and Sculptors, and the Chicago Gallery Association. His work is included in the collection of the Vanderpoel Art Association (Chicago). He exhibited from the 1910s-40s, including exhibitions at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Georgia Museum of Art. Of the difficulty of posing nudes in Chicago, he said, "In Paris you can rent little gardens studios and pose your models there in privacy. Here, if I work out of doors, I have to pose the girls in bathing suits...
