About the Item

Jean-Charles GRANDJEAN Active between 1833 and 1857 Oil on canvas 33 x 41 cm (46 x 54 cm with frame) Signed and dated lower right “Grandjean / 1835” Beautiful Restoration period frame in gilded wood Born in Paris, Jean-Charles Grandjean studied with Louis-Etienne Watelet. He was a landscape painter who exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1833 to 1857, mainly views of Switzerland and Italy. When Corot returned to Italy in 1834, he was accompanied by Jean-Charles Grandjean, whom he had met in Soissons the previous year. This painter who is said to have “a voluptuous temperament and a taste for living well” traveled with Corot to Italy from the summer of 1834 to the fall of 1834. After spending time in Genoa, Florence and Venice, they visited Milan and the lakes north of Milan which may be the subject of our painting. As for the sculpture represented in the painting, it seems to be a saint or a knight. He has a red cross on his chest and his face sems to be hidden by a helmet. One of the two characters in the foreground removes his hat at the sight of the sculpture as a sign of respect. The chosen moment of the day is dusk. The beautiful lighting effect is typical of the Romantic painting, as well as the choice of a picturesque site and the emphasis on the representation of the link between man and nature.
