Jean-Victor Bertin
Landscape near Paris

Circa 1810

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.
