Frederick Arthur Bridgman
Sur le Bosphone, On the Bosphorus, Orientalist Beautiful Girl in Boat

1892

About the Item

The key to this painting's charm is that the subject is a beautiful young woman who is showing her face. She lounges comfortably in a carpeted boat with a lute by her side, running her hands among the water lilies. Bridgman captures her in a peak magical moment of peace and joy. In the distance (upper left ) you can see the rough outline of a minaret and cityscape rendered in blue. The overall composition is perfectly balanced in keeping with the harmonious spirit of the scene as Bridgman's painting transports the viewer to a bygone era. Original stretchers and labels and titled on verso. Signature: Signed and faintly dated lower left Private Collection. Illene Susan Fort via a telephone conversation and photo of the work stated that she knows and is familiar with the work and it is by Bridgman. A similar Bridgman painting "Two young Algerians" just sold at Christie's for $345,000. It was of smaller dimensions and dipicted of two beauties one holding a lute and the other a drum.

    Pio Joris (Rome, 1843-1922). The Via Flaminia, a Sunday morning," 1869, with frame 160 x 83 cm. Signed P. Joris, Pio Joris attended the Istituto di Belle Arti in Rome and in 1861 he enrolled at the Accademia di San Luca, where he remained for just a year. On a visit to the 1st Esposizione Nazionale di Belle Arti of Florence in 1861 he was attracted by the naturalistic works from the Naples school. He came into contact with Domenico Morelli and Filippo Palizzi during a trip to Capri, Sorrento and Naples in 1866.
