Ceneri Louis Edouard Morand
'Le Verger'

About the Item

Ceneri Louis Edouard Morand (1852-1917) "Le verger' Oil on canvas Signed and dated 'C.MORAND, 9 bre 1895' lower right Canvas Size 45 x 64 in Framed Size 55 x 74 in Provenance From the Collection of Sir Frank Williams CBE. Ceneri Louis Edouard Morand (1852–1917) was a French artist known for his contributions to the genre of portraiture and his work in both painting and etching. Born in Paris, he was part of the 19th and early 20th-century French artistic tradition, where he developed a reputation for his detailed and expressive portraits, often focusing on capturing the personalities of his subjects. Morand was born into an artistic milieu, and he pursued formal training in the arts, likely studying at one of the prestigious art schools in Paris, such as the École des Beaux-Arts. It is unclear whether he received instruction directly from prominent masters of the time, but it is clear that Morand was deeply influenced by the academic tradition, as well as by emerging trends in portrait and figure painting. Morand's early works were in the academic style, but he also embraced elements of realism and naturalism that were becoming popular in French art circles during his lifetime. He was particularly known for his skill in capturing the character and subtleties of his subjects, often working with great attention to detail. His portraits were typically characterized by precise brushwork and a sensitive rendering of the human form. His reputation grew through his work as a portraitist, and he was frequently commissioned to paint members of the French bourgeoisie, as well as intellectuals, artists, and other notable figures of the period. Morand’s style evolved over time, and he showed an interest in incorporating elements of Impressionism, although he always remained grounded in more traditional techniques. In addition to painting, Morand was an accomplished etcher, a medium through which he explored more intimate and expressive renderings of the human figure. His etchings, like his paintings, reflect his deep concern with capturing emotion and the nuances of light and shadow. This dual focus on painting and etching allowed Morand to work across different forms and bring a level of dynamism to his work. By the turn of the 20th century, Morand’s work began to be less frequently exhibited as he faced increasing competition from more modernist artists. Despite this, his contributions were appreciated by those in the art world who valued technical skill and emotional depth in portraiture. Morand's life came to an end in 1917, amidst the turmoil of World War I, and his works, particularly his portraits and prints, faded somewhat into obscurity after his death. While he may not have had the same level of posthumous recognition as some of his contemporaries, Morand’s ability to capture the soul of his subjects and his technical expertise have left a lasting mark on the tradition of French portraiture. Today, his works can be found in various private collections and occasionally in exhibitions that focus on late 19th- and early 20th-century French art, showcasing his unique contribution to the history of portraiture and printmaking. Ceneri Louis Edouard Morand was a skilled and dedicated French artist whose work spanned painting and etching. Known for his detailed portraits, his legacy endures through his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with sensitivity and precision. Though his fame waned after his death, his contributions to French academic and realist portraiture remain a testament to his artistic talent.
