About the Item
Artist: Edmond Pierre Jean Castan
Title: Lost in the Woods
Medium: Oil on Panel
Year of Work: 1875

Dimensions: Framed 18.5" x 16.5" x 3.25" Unframed 6.25" x 4.25"
Edmond Castan (1817-1892) was a French artist born in Toulouse in Haute-Garrone who specialized in capturing simple moments of daily life, interior scenes of peasants and children playing games. A pupil of neoclassical painter Francois Gerard, he also followed the teaching of Martin Drolling in Paris. Castan began his exhibition career in the Salon of French Artists in 1868. In 1875 he began sending portraits to the Salon and continued to do so through 1880.
His very fine technique and the multitude of details he brings to his compositions are readily noticeable in Lost in the Woods. The children bring a particular freshness to this work as they stand facing three directions musing over which path to take. The eldest child, with a reassuring arm around the young girl, is trying to remember where they began their journey and the young boy is clutching the dress of the younger girl to steady himself against a dark and frighteningly unfamiliar forest in the background. Suddenly the fragrant floral bouquet has lost its charm as the three young adventurers ponder the uncertainty of being completely lost. The oil on panel is ensconced in multiple wood mats and completed by a delicately carved wood frame which measures 16 ¼ x 18 3/8”. The work is in excellent condition, signed Edmond Castan in the lower left and dated 1865.
Condition: Painting is in excellent condition with original wooden frame. Frame has been repainted gold.

His careful brushstrokes create the fluffy, wool coats of the sheep as well as the detailed facial features in the foreground. These farm animals are dusted with bright and light. Behind them, Hulk’s forest provides a dark contrast as trunks and boughs crisscross and entangle. Hulk’s oil painting is both a playful and realist representation of 19th century Dutch landscape...Category

- Rococo painting with frame by 18th-century Venetian school oil on canvasLocated in Florence, ITThe painting (with a Salvador Rosa-style gilded frame 88 x 116 cm) depicts a group of four children who are playing outside on a swinging seesaw; we are probably dealing with a prank, as can be seen by the satisfied expression of the child on the right at the expense of the one in the foreground, who seems to be supported by the others, perhaps because of the fear felt. They are dressed in the same way, with black or brown ankle boots and a kind of double-breasted jumpsuit with a rich lace collar reminiscent of the jabots of dames, blue for the one in the foreground, brick-colored for the other three. Children also look alike in the hair, typical of the period, and features, suggesting a kinship relationship. We find the same subject, for example, in Johann Zoffany...Category
