About the Item
You will find this young man good company! It is a pleasure to study his thoughtful, sensitive face. He has a benevolent and real presence. To my mind, he certainly has an artistic nature - he looks like a thinker, poet and/or musician.
Dating from what the French call the Romantic Period, the early 1800s, our painting is monogrammed AG and may be attributed to Auguste Glaize.
Born in Montpellier, Auguste Glaize studied under the painters Achille Devéria and Eugène Devéria.
He came to be one of the great French Romantic painters of the early 19th century, marking his career with important history paintings and cycles of monumental religious paintings in several churches in Paris and the provinces. The painting conserved in the church at Quesnoy-sur-Airaines is considered one of his masterworks.
He was best known for painting beautiful mythological or historical scenes, filling his subjects' faces with great humanity. He was also known as a sensitive and accomplished portraitist.
Works by Glaize are in the museums of the cities of Amiens, Avignon, Brest, Marseille, Montpellier as well as in the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.
The size of the wooden panel measured without the frame is 22 x 18 cm.
