Jean Chaleye. French ( b.1878 - d.1960 ). Still life of Carnations & Marigolds. Oil on Board. Signed. Image size 20.9 inches x 25.2 inches ( 53cm x 64cm ). Frame size 27.6 inches x 31.9 inches ( 70cm x 81cm ). Available for sale; this original oil painting is by the French post impressionist artist Jean Chaleye. The painting is presented and supplied in a later 20th century elaborate frame (which is shown in these photographs). This antique painting is in very good condition, defying its age. It is supplied ready to hang and display. The painting is signed lower right. Jean Chaleye was considered one of the most important French post impressionist artists. He was born to working class parents on 22nd April 1878 at St. Etienne and died at Le Puy in 1960. He trained at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Lyon, then at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He began his career as a commercial engraver then worked for a while in the textile industry where flower painting had developed as an important discipline and was used decoratively in the manufacture of silk. Along with a group of other artists he began to paint flowers in a new fashion, rendering them light and transparent and full of grace. His still life paintings of flowers, which he continued to paint throughout his life, are among his very best works. In 1902 Jean Chaleye took part in the prestigious Fair of French Artists and subsequently exhibited widely, including a retrospective at the Organerie Du Luxemburg, Paris and the Wally Findlay Gallery in New York. In 1953 the city of Marseille held a jubilee exhibition to celebrate his then fifty year career. This stunning original oil on board depicts a vase of flowers on a tablecloth, on a small round table. There are yellow marigolds, and carnations in both pale pink and dark pink, with a little green foliage behind. The cloth and background are examples of a technique similar to the classic impressionistic pointillism, with small dots or dabs of paint being applied to create a larger whole, a shimmering effect of rainbow colors. This painting highlights Chaleye’s skills as a master colorist. © Big Sky Fine Art

  • Spring Blossom Impression by Swedish Plein Air Artist Anders Ståhl
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    Anders Ståhl, Swedish painter, born 1966. Since modernism, outdoor painting has largely been forgotten by professional painters, but the Swedish artist Anders Ståhl keeps the historical tradition of Plein Air alive. Not least when it comes to partly lost working methods in the field. For Anders, this has been a most natural way of creating since childhood; to interpret what he sees and feels, by drawing and painting.  Quickly capturing impressions in the field is one of the most demanding ways of painting you can imagine, since you are simultaneously fighting against both time and the elements. Back in the comfort of the studio, there is so much more time to interpret and perhaps work with larger formats. Anders has a strong artistic relationship with painters from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, especially the French impressionists and Nordic landscape...
