About the Item
Early 20th century Still Life with Fruits is by Reginald Bathurst Birch (1856-1943). Birch is best known as the famous illustrator of Frances Hodgeson Burnett's book 'Little Lord Fauntleroy', published in 1886, but Birch was also a fine artist of his time. This oil on canvas painting of fruits in a wooden basket is signed by the artist, and dated 1912.
Birch is known as an illustrator, having illustrated some 60 books including popular children's books, but he was also a fine artist. His work demonstrated accomplished painting in portraits and landscapes, as well as this still life example.
Born and educated in Britain, Birch moved to New York to work as an illustrator for magazines such as Harpers and Life. In New York he became a founding member of the Society of Illustrators. After his success with Little Lord Fauntleroy he flourished, painting and illustrating, including illustrating more books by Burnett. He illustrated forty books until 1914 and the beginning of World War I. This work in 1912, was in the period he flourished as an artist and illustrator.
It was only in 1933 that he began full time work again, gaining new fame with Louis Untermeyer's 'The Last Pirate'.
Still Life with Fruits was painted in his prime years, and is a lovely study in 19th century style with darkened background that highlights the brighter color of grapes, peaches and pineapples.
Presented in wooden gilt frame, Still Life with Fruit, is ready to hang on your wall to enjoy. Provenance runs with the famous illustrator and artist, adding interest to a well known genre of still life art.
This painting is 21" by 34" in the frame, and the canvas is 14" by 28". Minor imperfections of this vintage painting do not detract from the work as a whole.

- Still life with a Chinese bowl by Jean GrimalBy Jean GrimalLocated in Gent, VOVJean Grimal is a true 20th century discovery. This breathtaking piece is a gorgeous example of his mastery as an artist. He beautifully creates chiaroscuro in this painting. The way the light touches the edges of the Chinese bowl and the grapes is an example of his skill in representing light. Jean Grimal (1942-1998) was born in the town of Tulle, France in 1942. Jean’s family moved to Paris when he was 8 years of age. After receiving a classical French education with studies in Latin and Greek, Jean Grimal entered the University to receive his Baccalaureate. He then attended Claude Barnard School for three years, when he received his Art Degree. Upon completion Grimal taught art for seven years. As Grimal’s own interest in formal painting and art began to possess him, the artist’s destiny changed. In 1967 Jean Grimal stepped aside from teaching and pursued a career in professional painting and working as an illustrator in advertising. As an advertising illustrator, Grimal worked with Lise Goldfard for more than 25 years at Studio 44 where they collaborated with major and important accounts, such as: Air France, Christofle, Peugeot, Lacoste, to name a few. At the same time he began presenting his formal paintings to galleries in Paris and Cannes, France and in London and Windsor, England. Much to his surprise, Grimal found that his paintings were sought after by major art galleries and collectors throughout Europe. After a number of years of being an important and successful art illustrator for these major accounts, he found himself having to choose between the two. Fortunately for collectors, he chose to dedicate his life to the classical style of painting. Jean looked at the simplest things in life through a microscope, where he could take the simplest object and depict the age of the fruit or the leaf. Jean Grimal received great pleasure from his work and painted for over thirty years. As his style matured and became ever more perfect Jean Grimal truly reached the pinnacle of his career. The artist’s methods were particularly distinguished when measured against his peers. Grimal’s painting skill was distinctive and exceptional. Jean Grimal was known for his realistic trompe l’oeil and still life paintings. The artist would carefully arrange the objects to form a satisfying composition. By painting every shadow, highlight, and reflection within each composition Grimal brought mundane subjects to life. His tight rendering combined with his attention to light and detail allowed him to blur the lines between illusion and reality, truly making his works one of a kind. Grimal’s trompe l’oeil paintings consist of intricate compositions of cards, envelopes, photographs, paper of different materials and weights, backs of canvases, images of other artists’ works, kitchen utensils, pistols, and more. Grimal had a talent for mastering these illusions that deceive the eye in his trompe l’oeil paintings. No matter what genre Grimal was painting, tight, unperceivable brushwork characterizes his work. The artist painted every crease and crinkle, every shadow and highlight, every detail. By doing so, he was able to capture each individual surface texture of the objects in his paintings. Grimal was also fabulous at depicting light in his paintings- often contrasting strong lights with strong darks, creating chiaroscuro modeling. His still life paintings are reminiscent of Dutch seventeenth century...Category
