About the Item

Jean-Victor Bertin and workshop (Paris 1767 - 1842) Landscape of the Île-de-France region Oil on canvas H. 38 cm; W. 46 cm Related work: painting of the same composition held at the J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles) Victor Bertin can probably be ranked, after his teacher Valenciennes, second among the so-called "neoclassical" French landscape artists of the late 18th century and the first third of the 19th century, ahead of Bidauld, Dunouy, Chauvin, and Boguet. Among his most famous students were Corot, Michallon, and Daubigny. Bertin often produced several copies of his compositions, reflecting their success, sometimes in quite large numbers. These reworks, which art historian Suzanne Gutwirth considered Bertin's late (1830s) "supplementary" works to compensate for his financial difficulties and declining success, seem to have been created at the time of the original composition, in Bertin's studio. This studio thus served not only a teaching role, with many students, but also a vocation to participate in the creation of replicas. Some were signed by Bertin, others not, which does not mean that they were not, at least in part, by his hand. The other versions known to date of our painting are few; the Getty's, of comparable dimensions, does not include figures, and could be the original sketch executed on site in the open air. Our painting reflects Bertin's great sense of light and his very precise treatment of foliage, as the studio may have taken charge of the steep hillside and its small trees, the central dwellings, and the group of figures on the left. This village, bathed in soft late afternoon light, could be located south of Paris, in the Bièvre or Essonne valleys.

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...
