About the Item
This delightful French Impressionist work by the talented period artist , Abel-Truchet, captures the drama, intrigue and era when going to the Opera was an important event to be talked about for weeks to come. Abel-Truchet uses sweeping post-impressionist brushwork and a color palette that feels similar to that of his colleague Toulouse Lautrec. Framed in an older Italian frame that has been regilded in 23 karat gold, the work exudes opulence and is a masterful study in light - which is set her not in the foreground but in the background.

Louis Abel-Truchet
Louis Abel-Truchet was a major French painter, etcher and lithographer of his time. He was born in Versailles in 1857. He is well known for his paintings portraying the turn of the century life in Paris. He was a student of the well known Julian Academy in Paris and was a student of Julian Lefebvre and Benjamin Constant. Paris was not the only city he painted, he only produced some magnificent works showing other cities such as Venice, Sienna and Marseille. Abel-Truchet was deemed by many to be an 'Impressionist' due to the style of work he created, yet the wealth and variety of work he created throughout his life make it impossible to define his role as an artist only through impressionism. His role as a satirist of the time was also a major part of his life and this motivated him to be one of the founding members of the Society of Humorists. He has favorably been compared to the great satirists of the day such as Forian.

Paris Drout - Salle n° 5
By Jacques ROHAUT
Located in Atlanta, GA
Official Painter of the Navy appointed in 2010.
Official Painter of the Armies appointed in 2000.
Official Painter of Air and Space appointed in 1996.
It was friendship and then the discovery of the art of painting that prompted Jacques Rohaut to visit Philippe Lejeune's studio in Etampes in the 1970s during his law studies. He also worked for a restorer of paintings. Emulation within what has become the "Etampes School" allowed him to continue the necessary learning before making many personal exhibitions: the first in 1984, at the Taylor Foundation (Paris), then at the Orangerie de Villeroy, at the VIP lounge for ministerial air links in Villacoublay, in Düsseldorf, at the Saint-Roch gallery (Paris), at the Musée de l'Ordre des Avocats (Hôtel de la Porte in Paris), at the Hôtel du Conseil Général d'Eure et Loire (Chartres), in the Jehan de Beauce tower of Chartres cathedral, at the Etampes Museum, at the Inès Bonlieu gallery,
Guest of honor at several Salons in the provinces, he also regularly participates in major Parisian Salons: French Artists, Autumn, Comparisons.
His profession as a lawyer practiced in Paris for thirty years, within the firm Ader Jolibois, inspired him many paintings of which the judicial life and the courthouses were the pretext; his country of birth, Morocco, allowed him to rediscover the lights that usually make up his paintings; the air and the sea are another source of inspiration.
Among the main distinctions he has received: Bronze medal at the Salon de la Marine, Gold medal at the Salon des Artistes Français, Prix de la Fondation André et Berthe Noufflard...
