"Noah's Ark", Monkeys in Trees w. Crocodiles, Richard DeTreville 1924 San Mateo
A lively, large-scale vertical painting of Macaques monkeys in the trees above a lake teeming with crocodiles by Richard De Treville (American, 1864-1929). This life size painting was painted in 1924 for "Noah's Ark", a depression era restaurant in San Mateo, California. This painting hung in the opening of the restaurant from 1925-1931. Richard De Treville was commissioned to paint numerous animal paintings to fit the Ark theme. Lions, Tigers, Hippo's, Elephants and a 9 foot painting of a Giraffe were some of the themes. The painting depicts the band of Monkeys sneering and screeching at the Crocodiles lurking below them. Cleaned and varnished for a lifetime of enjoyment.
Signed "De Treville" in the lower left corner.
Presented in a wood frame.
Image size: 96"H x 47.45"W
Frame size: 102.5"H x 55.5"W.
An exhibit entitled “Noah’s Ark: San Mateo’s Historic Restaurant” (see images) opened Jan. 23 2018, at the San Mateo County History museum at Courthouse Square on Broadway in Redwood City. The exhibit that ends April 15 includes items from the restaurant operated by black entrepreneur Noah Williams, perhaps the most popular restaurateur on the Peninsula during the 1920s. In addition to its menu of Southern cuisine, Noah’s Ark was renowned for its décor that stressed the biblical Noah’s Ark throughout. Huge paintings of animals were hung on the walls, and some of those paintings will be featured in the exhibit which also has a variety of photos from the restaurant that opened in 1925 and closed in 1931, a victim of the Depression.
Richard De Treville was born in Beaufort, South Carolina on November 17, 1864. In 1892, he moved to California and settled in Stockton where he established a small newspaper called Det's Magazine. Shortly after 1910, De Treville moved to San Francisco where, in addition to painting, he worked as a cartoonist for the Park Presidio News.
His works were handled locally by Schussler Brothers and Sanborn & Vail, and were also available in his Clement Street studio. The last few years of his life were spent across the bay in Alameda where he died on February 25, 1929.
Little is known about his art training; he was possibly self-taught.
De Treville worked in oil and, on rare occasions, in watercolor. He was known to be an excellent portraitist although his portraits are rare. The most prolific of early California painters, his small landscapes are invariably of the San Francisco Bay area, Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, and northern California.
