About the Item
Claude Firmin (1864-1944), Portrait of a Young Boy on 19 October 1897
Claude Firmin, a painter from Avignon and member of the Groupe des Treize, created this superb yet intimate portrait of a young boy in period costume. The painting includes an inscription indicating it was gifted to a friend by Firmin.
Claude Firmin, known as "le Goy" (the lame one in Provençal), painted many frescoes for the town hall of Avignon. He exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1889 to 1922, receiving an honorable mention in 1902 for "Le Sentier des saules en Provence" and "Mon Doreur." A member of the Groupe des Treize, presided over by Clément Brun, Firmin is considered a master of Provençal painting. He became a professor in 1922 and later the director (1937-1941) of the École des Beaux-Arts in Avignon. He was named a Knight of the Legion of Honor on January 29, 1937.
Firmin painted the grandparents of poet Henri Rode in their farmhouse kitchen in Cairanne in 1902.
Dimensions: the panel measures 40 by 32 cm and with the frame ca. 52 by 42 cm
