About the Item

Etienne-Prosper BERNE-BELLECOUR Boulogne-sur-mer, 1838 - Paris, 1910 Oil on wood panel (acajou) 46 x 33 cm (55 x 43 cm with the frame) Signed lower right "To his friend doctor Daymard / E. Berne-Bellecour / 1903" Painting exhibited at Salon des Artistes Français of 1904 (number 136. “Portrait of Mr. Major Daymard”) Very good condition ( only a few and very small repaints) As an academic painter, Berne-Bellecour worked for illustrated newspapers after failing at the Prix de Rome in 1859. In 1870, he enlisted in the Frankish Corps of Tirailleurs de la Seine and is decorated with the Military Medal. This will decide his career. Companion of Édouard Detaille and Alphonse de Neuville, he painted battle pictures and portraits of soldiers that made him very well known as a specialist military painter. "The Tirailleurs of the Seine in the battle field near Malmaison "(1874), "The Prisoner and the Defense of a Bridge" are among his most famous paintings. Our painting was exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1904 under the title "Portrait of Mr. the medical officer Daymard". Léon Daymard, born in Cahors in the South West of France (as his brother who was president of the bank Crédit Foncier), was a famous military doctor. Active from the war of 1870 until 1904, he participated in no less than seven military campaigns and he followed the French armies to the colonies. The quality of details in Berne-Bellecourt's paintings is all the more remarkable in his military portraits.. It also represented in the background a beautiful landscape, most probably in the North African colonies. Because in 1903 the French army was active in North Africa from Egypt to Morocco to defend its colonies against England and Germany.
