Joseph Colla
Silver birches, Provence: luminous landscape painting 19C French painting

ca 1870

About the Item

A wonderful work by Provençal master Joseph Collas, a native of Aix en Provence in the South of France. Born in 1841, Collas studied with Emile Loubon - who was also known for his panoramic landscapes of Provence - and exhibited widely, at the Paris salon from 1863 to 1902. and at the Galerie Jules Olive in Marseille. Works by Collas can be found in the Museum of Fine Arts of Marseille, where there is notably a charcoal drawing which looks as if it could be study for the magnificent white birch in the foreground of our painting! Our oil on canvas measures 33 x 46 cm and is signed at the lower left. It is presented in its original Napoleon III period lacquered frame. The overall framed size is 55 x 68 cm.

He was a drawing teacher at the Épinal high school and also worked at the town museum, lending his eye to the identification of several old paintings. From 1928 and until the day before his death, Dupont-Crespin exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants. The vast majority of his works are landscapes, but there are also portraits of his colleagues, friends and relatives. In 1940 he published a collection of engravings...
