About the Item

Alexis DALIGE de FONTENAY Paris, 1813 - Paris, 1892 Storm at Etretat Watercolor 24 x 32 cm (40 x 48 cm with frame) Signed lower right "Ais de Fontenay" Very good condition Alexis Daligé de Fontenay studied with Louis Hersent and Louis-Etienne Watelet. He was a Romantic landscape painter who favored picturesque sites in the tradition of the lithographers of Baron Taylor's "Picturesque France." He was actually president of the Association of Painters and Sculptors founded by Baron Taylor. Daligé de Fontenay traveled extensively but painted mainly Normandy, Brittany, Switzerland, and the Pyrenees. Our picture is a watercolor, which is rare in Daligé de Fontenay's corpus. It is in very good condition and remarkably fresh. The colors are beautiful, especially the blue of the sea. A very well made watercolor with that remarkable rendering so characteristic of Daligé de Fontenay's art. A work with a very picturesque subject, yet at the same time filled with many descriptive details characteristic of the fishermen in Normandy in the mid-19th century !

Théophile Clément BLANCHARD - Landscape in Normandy
Located in PARIS, FR
Théophile Clément BLANCHARD 1820 - 1849 Oil on canvas 27 x 40 cm (45 x 58 cm with the frame) Signed lower right "Blanchard" Very nice 19th century gilded wooden frame French painter, lithographer and illustrator, Théophile Clément Blanchard is part of of those painters of the romantic era who represented picturesque views of France like Alexis Daligé de Fontenay or Eugène Cicéri. These painters traveled a lot and sought out picturesque sites, particularly in Normandy, Brittany, Switzerland and the Pyrenees. Blanchard participated in the illustration of “Picturesque and Romantic Travels in the Old France”. But the works of this romantic painter are rare because Blanchard died very young at twenty-nine year old ! We still know of him, in particular, a view of Bugey (dated 1846) which is at the Louvre Museum and a “Delicious Landscape” (from the 1840s) at the Salies museum at Bagnères de Bigorre...
