Henriette de Longchamp
Primula pubescens ; Pubescent primrose, flower still life, oil on canvas

About the Item

Henriette de Longchamp (1814-1887) Primula pubescens ; Pubescent primrose Oil on canvas Signed “Htte de Longchamp” lower left Marked “E. Vernier” on the back of the canvas, marchand de couleurs et d'encadrements, 79 rue de sèvres, 1836-1860 21.5 x 16 cm Henriette de Longchamp, a native of Saint-Dizier in the Haute-Marne region of France and still referred to as “mademoiselle” in magazines from the 1860s, was one of the most distinguished female “fleuriste” painters in Paris during the July Monarchy. She excelled in depicting flowers, particularly roses. Her master was Lyon artist Simon Saint-Jean (1808-1860), himself a great painter of flowers who trained with Pierre Révoil (1776-1842). Henriette de Longchamp made her debut at the 1841 Salon, where she submitted a watercolor basket of flowers and a still life with fruit. The State acquired Offrande à la sainte Vierge, (ill.1) a painting presented at the 1846 Salon and unanimously praised by critics for its great delicacy and fine coloring. In 1847 and 1848, the artist was awarded a third-class medal at the Salon, followed by a second-class medal. She exhibited at the Salon until 1886, and her meticulous, polished painting was very well received throughout her career. This small-format oil on canvas depicts a primrose pubscente (primula pubescens), a member of the Primulaceae family that blooms in spring, with thick, dark purple leaves and flowers illuminated by a golden yellow center that the artist reproduces with great delicacy.
