THOMASSIN Attributed Austrian landscapes romantic pair painting Brazil 19th

About the Item

Désiré THOMASSIN (Attributed to) Vienna, 1858 – Munich, 1933 Oil on panel 32 x 50 cm (42 x 60 cm with frame) Inscription on the back “Thomassin / Brazil” Désiré Thomassin was an Austrian painter and composer. He studied music in Munich between 1877 and 1881 with Josef Rheinberger and Max Hieber. Thomassin initially worked as a composer, but without success he turned to painting. Today Désiré Thomassin is better known as a painter than as a composer. Thomassin is said to have studied with Wilhelm von Diez at the Akademie der Künste in Munich. He then worked for the Munich art dealer Jakob Anger and took photos for him, which he signed “Désiré Renardt”. Thomassin painted rural genre scenes and coastal landscapes. He was close to the Dachau artists' colony and would later be a member of the Reichsverband bildender Künstler Deutschlands between 1927 and 1933. A mysterious inscription appears on the back of the painting “Thomassin / Brazil”. If the style of the painting corresponds to the work of the Austrian painter Désiré Thomassin, the inscription "Brazil" could correspond to the destination of the paintings: decirarian paintings painted for a clientele in Brazil. We know that some European painters painted picturesque landscapes of Europe, particularly the Alps, for a wealthy european clientele based in Brazil as a souvenir for them.

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...
