About the Item

"Huit vaches au pâturage par un ruisseau" ("Eight cows on pasture by a stream") Signed Barbizon Oil Painting on canvas, Georges Pierre Diéterle, c. 1888. "Huit vaches au pâturage par un ruisseau," c. 1888 Georges Pierre Diéterle (1844 -1937) Georges Pierre Diéterle was the elder son of Jules Pierre Michel Diéterle, a theatre designer. He (Georges Pierre Diéterle) graduated from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1863, and became an architect before devoting himself completely to painting from 1872 onwards. Diéterle was not only a close friend, but also a student of Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. He settled in Normandy, France where in 1881, where he became the Mayor of Criquebeuf-en-Caux, holding that post for 34 years. In the same year of 1881, he was made curator of the Fecamp Museum of Painting, remaining at that post until 1931. Georges Pierre Diéterle became a member of the Salon des Artistes Français in Paris in 1883. Diéterle selected his subjects above all from the landscape of the French Seine basin and in particular the Normandy countryside, including seaports like Le Havre, Yport and Fecamp. Among his most highly-acclaimed paintings are "Le grand étang à Criquebeuf," and "Menace d'un orange." Diéterle was clearly influenced by his tutor Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, enveloping his landscapes in a hazy light and introducing touches of color in the execution of his figures, as rendered to stunning perfection here in Huit vaches au pâturage par un ruisseau. Witness today’s painting "Huit vaches au pâturage par un ruisseau " is a clear example of the genius of Georges Pierre Diéterle. The play of light and its effects are simply superb. The glimmering reflection in the streambed is magnificent. Diéterle worked on his canvases in his studio, drawing inspiration from his self-taken photographs, which took the place of studies, paying particular attention to the light in a painting,in order to create robust compositions. The “Barbizon School” of artists were so named due to their work outdoors in the area of France near the village of Barbizon, in the vicinity of the Fontainebleau forest. They chose to paint “en plein aire,” i.e., outdoors, away from the studio, in the “real world” of forests, fields, farms and countryside. The Barbizon School, inspired by the example of the English painter John Constable, represented a return to nature and a firm rejection of what they saw as the dangers of oncoming industrialization. Among this group were found Jean-Francois Millet, Theodore Rousseau, and many other painters of renown, including Georges Pierre Diéterle. Georges Pierre Diéterle, like his contemporaries, tended to eschew the formal salon portraits in favor of moody landscapes and serene woodland settings such as seen here in today's painting, "Huit vaches au pâturage par un ruisseau." The work of Georges Pierre Diéterle was quite popular in his day, as the Barbizon Movement continued to flourish, prior to the major upheaval of the Impressionist upset. The Barbizon school of painters were part of an art movement towards Realism in art, which arose in the context of the dominant Romantic Movement of the time. The Barbizon school takes its name from the village of Barbizon, France, near the Forest of Fontainebleau, where many of the artists gathered. Some of the most prominent features of this school are its tonal qualities, color, loose brushwork, and softness of form, as witnessed today in "Huit vaches au pâturage par un ruisseau." "Huit vaches au pâturage par un ruisseau" measures 29 1/4 inches x 21 1/4 inches in original antique gilt frame, and 25 3/4 inches x 18 3/8 inches unframed. The antique gilt frame itself is an object of great beauty.
