About the Item
Léon PETUA Besançon, 1846 – Zürich, 1921 Oil on canvas 45 x 32 cm (58 x 44 cm with the frame) Signed lower left “L. Pétua” Beautiful carved and gilded wooden frame of the 19th century
Léon Pétua is a French painter who first studied in Besançon and worked in this city with the well-known photographers Lumière. But following the advice of his compatriot Jean-Léon Gérôme, he chose to continue in painting rather than photography and went to Paris in the early 1870s to join the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and Gérôme's studio. Very gifted for the drawing, Léon Pétua received i 1872 a diploma from the City of Paris for teaching drawing. At the School of Fine Arts, then a pupil of Gérôme, he received a second medal for his figure drawn after the antique in 1874. Then he went o Switzerland In 1875 to become professor at the Technikum in Zürich. He will continue his career between France and Switzerland. His works are currently owned in several museums in Europe (Printemps at the museum of Bern; Eva, Psyché at the museum of Besançon; Réveil, La Source at the Museum of Fine Arts in Bucharest). His great qualities were the chiaroscuro and the way he was rendering his subjects reminds of his first career in photography when he worked with the Lumières and handled wet collodion rather than the pencil and the brush ! His daughter Jeanne Pétua studied with her father and will also become a painter and a member of the Salon des Artistes Français in Paris.
