Karl Harald Alfred Broge
Poppy and Anemone Still Life Floral Study in Oil on Linen

1908

About the Item

Delicate and detailed floral still life by Alfred Broge (Danish, 1870-1955). Three white anemones and one pink poppy, all with stems and leaves, sit against a medium grey background. They are carefully rendered, with subtle texture. The shadows and highlights demonstrate Broge's mastery of lighting and realistic style. Signed and dated "Alf. Broge 1908" in the lower right corner. Presented in an antique gilded frame. Frame size: 18.75"H x 12.75"W Board size: 14.5"H x 8.5"W Karl Harald Alfred Broge was a painter of the Danish School, born in Copenhagen in 1870. He was a pupil of Holger Grönvold and exhibited at the Academy of Arts from 1889 to 1894, where he was a student of Rudolf Bissen for a short while. His paintings were exhibited at Castle Charlottenborg between 1892 and 1911 and at the Art Union between 1921 and 1940. He received several honors for his works, eg. the Academy Prize in 1900, 1901 and 1903. He is best known for his sunlit Danish interiors, often with a seated lady, but also an accomplished painter of Danish Landscapes which he exhibited at the Academy in 1891, 1892 and 1894. He was appointed director of a “drawing school for women without fortune.”

  • Large Early 20th Century Oil on Canvas of Tulips Displayed in a Confit Jar.
    Located in Cotignac, FR
    Large early 20th century French oil on canvas of tulips displayed in a confit jar. Signed Jean Julien to the bottom left and presented in a period frame. A rather charming and romantic impression of a tulip display. The colour palette is soft and gentle, light and airy and the artist has managed to impart to the whole painting a chalky texture which gives the impression of soft focus. The tulips are delicately painted but with great precision and attention to detail. The artist has thought carefully about both the scale and the shape of the image. The elongated rectangle is a perfect fit for the long ranging tulip stems. A thoroughly charming painting. Jean Pierre Louis Joseph Julien was a French painter born in Marseille on the 12th of May 1888. Julien was a member of the Salon des Artistes Français, friend of Marcel Pagnol, Fernandel, Raimu and Tino Rossi. Guy Dornand called him “the ambassador of Provence in Paris”. Between the wars, he stayed in Italy, travelled to North Africa and designed posters for tourism, murals and theatre sets, while remaining faithful to his hometown. He was a member of the 'Association des Marseillais de Paris.' along with his colleague Auguste Durand-Rosé. In 1933 Emmanuel Pontremoli, director of the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts proposed a design project for a school in Rue Saint-Martin, Paris. Several artists were given the chance to compete for this opportunity. Jean Julien impressed and was given the task. Julien taught at the School of Fine Arts in Paris and was also a drawing teacher at the Polytechnic School. Jean Julien died in Sanary-sur-Mer on the 5th of September 1974.
