About the Item

Oil on canvas. 56x46.5 cm.Signed lower right, dated 1860 Provenance : - Gift of the artist to Monsieur Allou in March 1861- Sale by Allou and Ehrlier in February 1872 (Galerie Georges Petit) lot no. 3- Lefebvre sale (Galerie Georges Petit) in May 1896 lot no. 4 - Private collection in France Authenticity confirmed by Madame Annette Bourrut-Lacouture, the artist's expert. Breton was a pupil of Félix de Vigne, then Drolling, before entering the Ecole des Beaux Arts in 1847. Between 1849 and 1850, he devoted himself to genre painting, as evidenced by his submissions to the Salon. In 1853, he began to paint landscapes exclusively. He was decorated on several occasions: third medal at the 1855 Universal Exhibition, second-class medal at the 1857 Salon, 1st-class medal at the 1859 and 1861 Salons, 1st-class medal in 1867, when he was made Officier de la Légion d'Honneur, medal of honor at the 1872 Salon, and promoted to Commandeur de la Légion d'Honneur in 1885, and jury member at the 1889 and 1900 Universal Exhibitions. His interpretation is always imbued with a certain idealistic grace, which has led some to describe him as a realist tempered by a poet...

In Paris, he built a friendship with Teinturier (painter from Valencia) and became a student of Jules Lefebvre's but most importantly the disciple of Narcisse Diaz de La Pena, with whom he collaborated ( some canvas bare both their signatures).
