UnknownEarly 19th century. Italianate landscape with a pyramid and sphinx.
About the Item
Early 19th century. Fantasy landscape with a pyramid and sphinx on a pedestal in the spirit of the architectural capriccios of Huber Robert.
Oil on cardboard.
In an original antique frame from the first half of the 19th century.
A long annotation on the reverse side of the painting speaks of its purchase and, apparently, further gift in the 1830s.
The painting is small in size, in good condition, recently professionally cleaned of old painterly varnish by an experienced restorer.
Idealized landscape: Happy Arcadia, where small human figures disappear into the landscape. filled with quotes from ancient architecture. Pastoral landscape with an idealization of life in the lap of nature.
It's bizarre to see a mixture of dreams about Ancient Greece, Egypt and Italy in one work.
It's a kind of Egyptomania with a slightly Italian taste.

Paris, rue des Solitaires, oil painting by Pierre Coquet
Located in Montfort l’Amaury, FR
Paris, rue des Solitaires, oil painting by Pierre Coquet
Reference number F489
The painting is framed with a natural oak floated frame.
65 x 50 cm (70 x 55 cm frame included)
This work is painted with oil on a paper that is laid on a board and placed in a made to measure wood strectcher. It is signed in the low right
Paris is one of Pierre most important subjects. Pierre's Paris is always depicted in a grey atmosphere. Buildings are stylized but the city is recognizable with its typical grey galvanised steel and orange terracota chimneys.
The composition here is a little atypical, as there is a certain symmetry between the top and bottom of the painting. You could almost turn it upside down, there's a kind of mirror effect.
The support for the painting is a cardboard box salvaged from the art school where he taught (Corvisart-Paris). The students used it to protect their tables. Pierre kept them and painted on them, and we can see little drawings or annotations made by students who had fun scribbling on them.
Provenance : Workshop of the artist (stamped and numbered on the back)
