Charles Wittmann
Post Impressionist oil painting of a street scene in Toul, France

About the Item

Charles Wittmann (French, 1876 – 1953) Le Vieux Toul Oil on canvas Signed ‘CH. WITTMANN’ (lower left) 25.3/4 x 21.1/4 in. (65.5 x 54 cm.) Recently reframed in a gilt composite frame with floral and foliate effects with canvas slip. The frame has been hand finished. Son of Ernest Wittmann, painter and sculptor, Charles Wittmann joined the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1894. There he followed the teachings of Eugène Carrière and Gustave Moreau. Living in Paris for 18 years, he made the Parisian street one of his favorite subjects and declined, from the end of the 19th century to 1914, the lively scenes and the effervescence of the boulevards, squares, markets or festivals of the capital, with architecture reinvented under the Second Empire by Baron Haussman.

    By Walter Taylor
    Located in Petworth, West Sussex
    A striking and simply composed painting of The Palace at Fontainebleau by Walter Taylor. Walter Taylor (British, 1860-1943) The palace at Fontainebleau Oil on canvas Signed `Walter Taylor’ (lower right) 25 x 30 in. (63.5 x 76.3 cm.) Born in Leeds, this artist was trained as an architect but eventually found his calling in painting town scenes, landscapes, and interiors using both oil and watercolour. With a privileged upbringing thanks to his tobacco manufacturer father, he attended art school in Paris before studying under Fred Brown at the Royal College of Art. In 1899, he married Hylda Matheson, but their honeymoon ended in tragedy with her untimely death.
