About the Item

Oil on canvas Signed lower left Signed, located and dated on reverse side "N.Diaz Barbizon 1857". Provenance: Christie's sale, New York, 10/1990 N°51 Christie's sale, New York, 28/02/1991 N°67 Me Péron sale, Barbizon, 1/12/1992 Osenat Sale "L'esprit du XIXe siecle" November/December 2019, N°250 Litterature; Presented in the catalogue raisonné of Pierre et Rolande MIQUEL, n°3162, p.515. A major painter of the Barbizon School, he was born to Spanish parents, whom he lost at an early age. He debuted at the Salon in 1831, fascinated by the spirit, climate and themes of Romanticism, and began by painting allegorical or gallant subjects in the spirit of the 18th century, followed by bohemian or oriental scenes. His meeting with Théodore Rousseau encouraged him to take up landscape painting, and he settled in Barbizon, where he painted forest undergrowth, clearings and ponds, whose luminous effects are underlined by glazed impasto. A picturesque character, he was much loved by his Barbizon colleagues and young painters such as Renoir, Monet and Bazille. The Musée d'Orsay in Paris owns an important collection of his works.

Untitled Still Life with Reclining Nude recto
By Roger Marcel Limouse
Located in Berlin, MD
Roger Marcel Limouse, (Algerian/French 1894 - 1989) Still Life, October 1939, Oil on canvas. Signed upper right and marked Oct 39 on back. Greens, Blues, and Yellow/Browns prevail in this still life of a table with fruits, cake, and a candle. Nude is painted verso on stretched canvas under frame. Frame 24.5 x 28.875 x 1.625, Canvas 21.875 x 23.875 A student of Paul Albert Laurens (1870-1934) at the Académie Julian, his figurative work, very colorful, with powerful and stripped down forms, made him one of the last representatives of Fauvism and the eldest of the group of Painters of Poetic Reality. He belongs to the School of Paris. In 1943, Jacques de Laprade dedicated a book to Roger Limouse in the collection "The Masters of Tomorrow" directed by Francis Carco. He writes, "One of the characteristics of this personality is strength. There is nothing in Limouse that lacks relief. This small and extremely vigorous man seduces by his direct and dru language, by his deep conviction, by the picturesque of his stories, by his very life which testifies to his energy. In 1948, Roger Limouse was appointed professor at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris (Professor at the School of Fine Arts). He held this position until 1964. In 1949, the journalist Gisèle d'Assailly (1904-1969) devoted a book "With the Painters of Poetic Reality" to eight friendly painters, supporters of a colorful and intimate figurative painting of French inspiration, Maurice Brianchon, Christian Caillard...
