About the Item

Jean Eritziane Smyrna 1850 – 1925 Paris Armenian – French Painter 'Still Life with Flowers and Fruit on a Table' Signature: signed and dated lower right 'Eritziane 1921' Medium: oil on board Dimensions: image size 76,5 x 58,5 cm, frame size 90 x 75 cm Biography: Jean Eritziane, born Chnorq Eritziane in Smyrna (Asia Minor) in 1887, was a notable portrait painter whose artistic journey took him from the cultural crossroads of his birthplace to the vibrant art scenes of Moscow and Paris. His Armenian heritage endowed him with a unique perspective, while his European education refined his talents, enabling him to leave a lasting mark on the art world. Eritziane’s initial studies in Moscow laid a solid foundation for his artistic career. He later honed his skills at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he studied under the tutelage of masters such as Léon Bonnat and Fernand Cormon. Despite his early achievements, the outbreak of World War I in August 1914 dramatically altered the course of his life. A passionate patriot, Eritziane enlisted as a volunteer in the 2nd Foreign Service in 1914, leaving behind his studio and the promise of a burgeoning career. During the Marne campaign, he was twice injured, enduring a slow and arduous recovery that was marked by a determined spirit. Once his strength returned, Eritziane resumed painting, infusing his work with a renewed sense of purpose and a distinctive modern touch while drawing inspiration from the 18th century. Eritziane’s work during this period showcased his exceptional ability to capture the play of light and his commitment to rendering reflections with meticulous accuracy. His dedication to his craft earned him recognition, including the acquisition of his portrait of M. Martin, the inventor of the French machine gun, by the French State in 1916. Additionally, he painted the portrait of Felia Litvinne, a celebrated French-based dramatic soprano. In 1919, Eritziane’s resilience and artistic talent were further acknowledged when he appeared at the Exhibition of Mobilized Artists, highlighting his contributions during and after the war. He was particularly noted for his expertise as a pastelist and his still life compositions featuring fruit and flowers. Eritziane signed many of his works as Chnorq Eritziane, a nod to his Armenian roots, despite the name often being misunderstood as German by those less familiar with it. After his heroic service and subsequent recovery, he embraced the name Jean, a reflection of his integration into French society and his enduring love for his adopted homeland. Jean Eritziane’s life and work remain a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of art. His legacy, marked by his masterful portraits, still lifes, and courageous wartime service, continues to inspire and evoke admiration.

'Still Life with Flower Vase on a Table' by David De Noter (1818 – 1892)
Located in Knokke, BE
David De Noter Ghent 1818 – 1892 Bologhine Belgian Painter 'Still Life with a Lapis Lazuli Coloured Flower Vase on a Table' Signature: signed lower right 'David De Noter' Medium: oil on panel Dimensions: image size 35 x 27 cm, frame size 41,5 x 34 cm Biography: David De Noter was born in Ghent on June 24, 1818, and passed away in Saint Eugène Bologhine, Algiers, on January 21, 1892. He was a renowned Belgian painter, celebrated for his detailed still lifes and interior scenes. Born in Ghent, he was the son of Jan-Baptist De Noter, a draftsman and architect, from whom he received his early artistic training. His mother, Carola Maya, married Jan-Baptist shortly before David’s birth. He had a brother, Michaël, who tragically passed away at a young age (1821-1823), and two sisters, Anne-Marie and Edalie. In 1840, De Noter moved to Brussels, and five years later, on November 25, 1845, he married Clemence Wauters in Mechelen. Together, they had seven children. His son Raphaël would also become a painter. By the 1860s, De Noter had relocated to Paris, where it is believed he shared a studio with the well-known art dealer J. Goupil around 1864. In his later years, De Noter and his family moved to Algiers, North Africa, where he contributed a floral still life to the Algiers Museum in 1870. By around 1879, he was living in Le Nador, near Marengo. David De Noter is primarily celebrated for his exquisite still lifes featuring flowers, vegetables, seafood, game, and fruit. He also painted detailed kitchen and salon interiors, as well as genre scenes, often with a strong focus on still life elements within the broader composition. His style combined meticulous realism with a romantic atmosphere, capturing both the beauty and mood of his subjects. During his time in Algiers, De Noter began painting local scenes, including views of the Kasbah of Algiers. Throughout his career, De Noter collaborated with notable artists such as Henri Leys, Guillaume Koller, Louis Tuerlinckx, and Alfred Stevens. His works remain highly valued on the art market today. His paintings were exhibited in various cities, including Kortrijk, Brussels, Rotterdam, The Hague, and Paris. In 1854, he was awarded a gold medal at an exhibition in Brussels. David De Noter’s artwork has been exhibited in prestigious galleries and museums across Europe, showcasing the enduring appeal of his detailed and romantic still life paintings. His works can be found in the permanent collections of several important institutions, including: Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, Brussels; Musée des Beaux-Arts, Cambrai; Stedelijk Museum, Kortrijk; Art Gallery, Leeds; John Selbach Museum, Maaseik; Museum Hof van Busleyden, Mechelen; Musée des Beaux-Arts, Mulhouse; Municipal Collection, Schaerbeek; Museo Revoltella, Trieste; Museo Municipal “Quiñones de León...
