About the Item

Edouard Jacques Dufeu, born in Marseille on March 27, 1836, and died in Grasse on December 1, 1900, is a French painter and engraver.Hailing from a family originally from Egypt, Dufeu moved to Paris in 1860 and attended Charles Gleyre's workshop.Between 1861 and 1865 he frequented the Society of Aquafortists and became associated with its members. He engraved his first etching in 1862, Rue du Caire, which was published by Alfred Cadart and Luquet, also publishers of his series of engravings, Vues d'Égypte (1865).A pupil of Antoine Vollon, he exhibited at the Salon des artistes français from 1865 to 1890. He taught drawing in various communal schools in Paris and then supplied drawings to various newspapers. His production alternates landscapes and still lifes. He ended his life in Grasse, His work is almost always quite monochromatic with a little splash of color here and there. This is a very decorative piece and shows a great deal of skill in both the composition and the color balance which together give the painting a fine quality feel. The piece is an oil on canvas and has been recently framed in a new English hand made Giltwood frame.

  • Scottish Impressionist landscape with Geese in a farmyard with trees, hay bales
    By William Miller Frazer
    Located in Woodbury, CT
    Outstanding Scottish landscape from the late 19th to early 20th century oil on canvas. Born in Scone, Frazer would participate in the growth and development of Scottish landscape painting during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Long desiring to compete with the artistic endeavors of England, Scotland was making sure to make its mark, investing heavily in its artists. Indeed, Frazer would attend the acclaimed Royal Scottish Academy to receive his art education, intended to compete with English schools such as the Royal Academy in London. When his studies were complete, he would then base himself out of Edinburgh as he pursued a professional career. Edinburgh was and remains, the art capital of Scotland, and there was no place better for budding artist to plant their roots. Frazer’s work is a prime example of the growing influence of impressionism on Scottish landscape art...
