Louis Braquet
"Rapture" - Contemporary Woman Portrait

2019

About the Item

Finally got my hands on something by Louis Braquet. He has multiple commissions this year and I've been unable to get anything new. He had held on to this one, and it's just great. Check out the detail. He's simply extraordinary. Braquet is a top-selling artist in New Orleans, and as his paintings sell out quickly at the Royal Street gallery that represents him we are thrilled to have been chosen to show his work here on 1stDibs, giving our customers a shot at them as they are produced. Braquet is a native New Orleanian who attended the prestigious New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA) in his youth, where he began his rigorous training by replicating paintings by masters such as DaVinci, Caravaggio, Bosch, and Delacroix. This traditional discipline, ignored by most of today’s artists, is obvious in his old-world craftsmanship. He works with a range of mediums including acrylic, oil, ink, charcoal, and graphite. Braquet is an avid reader of history, esoterica and mythology spanning the classical, art nouveau and jazz age periods, and themes, subjects and characters from his reading often feature in his work. However, he also frequently paints contemporary figures, and is available by commission as well for portraits (consider having a loved one portrayed in fictional setting and costume!). Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art, New Orleans, with our firm guarantee of satisfaction.

  • Daydream (WPA Era Oil Painting on Canvas)
    Located in New Orleans, LA
    What is she dreaming about? Something in the book that is open in front of her? And who are the other characters in this moody, quiet, lovely scene? Not only a wonderful painting, but really captures that WPA period feel. A pensive painting sure to bring you peace. With frame it measures 33" x 27"; canvas measures 30" x 24". Frame has some weathering (probably original) but is still serviceable. The following is some bio information about the artist I pulled from AskArt: "Born in Swerzen, Russia, Bernard Green came to the US at a young age and settled in the New York City area. He studied art at the National Academy of Design, the Art Students League, the College of the City of New York and NYU, exhibiting at the NAD as early as 1910, where he won a prize both in 1910 and 1913, as well as at the ASL, winning another prize in 1914. Highly accomplished both as painter and etcher, Green continued exhibiting at the NAD throughout the years 1913-1946, at the Pan-Pacific Exposition in California in 1915, and at various galleries and other venues including a solo show at the Roerich Museum in 1930. His style was early 20th-century American Impressionist, and his interests covered a wide range from landscapes and still life to portraiture, including black subjects...
