The 1896 original poster by Privat-Livemont for Absinthe Robette stands as one of the most iconic examples of the Art Nouveau movement and a testament to the golden age of advertising art. Included in the prestigious series Les Maîtres de l'Affiche as Plate 104, this poster epitomizes the elegance, fluidity, and ornamental style that defined turn-of-the-century commercial design. Designed by Privat-Livemont, a Belgian artist renowned for his contributions to Art Nouveau, the Absinthe Robette poster was created to advertise the popular absinthe drink of the late 19th century. Absinthe, often referred to as the "Green Fairy," was a fashionable and somewhat controversial beverage, celebrated for its intoxicating allure and inspiration among artists, writers, and bohemians of the period. Privat-Livemont was celebrated for his ability to combine decorative elegance with commercial purpose. His work for Absinthe Robette reflects the signature traits of Art Nouveau: graceful lines, flowing forms, and a harmonious blend of nature-inspired motifs. Posters like this were not merely advertisements but works of art in their own right, often displayed in cafes, bars, and public spaces, capturing the imagination of passersby. Les Maîtres de l'Affiche (The Masters of the Poster) was a renowned collection of lithographic works, published between 1895 and 1900, that brought together the finest poster art from the greatest artists of the time. Curated by Jules Chéret, the series highlighted the artistic mastery of advertising and included works by notable artists such as Toulouse-Lautrec, Alphonse Mucha, and Privat-Livemont. Plate 104, featuring Absinthe Robette, is a shining example of the beauty and sophistication celebrated within this series. The late 19th century saw posters emerge as a powerful medium for both art and commerce, revolutionizing the visual landscape of cities. In this golden era, artists like Privat-Livemont elevated the status of posters from functional advertisements to celebrated works of art. Through their ornate designs and expressive use of color and composition, these posters reflected the aesthetic and cultural trends of the time. Today, the Absinthe Robette poster remains an enduring symbol of the Art Nouveau movement and a treasured piece of history. As part of Les Maîtres de l'Affiche, it holds significant cultural and artistic value, appealing to collectors, historians, and admirers of vintage advertising art...

Outstanding English 19th century still life of fruit, a German Stein with silver top in an interior. Charles Thomas Bale was born in Soho, London in 1849, the son of Thomas Bale, a basket maker. His older brother Thomas Charles Bale (1831-1899) was an artist and picture restorer. He lived with his family in St James, Westminster and although little is known about his education, he would have undoubtedly received encouragement and drawing tuition from his brother. Bale started exhibiting in 1866 at the Institute of British Artists, Suffolk Street. He also exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1872, the same year he married Caroline Leathem. Together, they spent their married life in St Pancras. He specialized in still life paintings predominantly of fruit, but he frequently incorporated baskets, a homage to his family’s profession, as well as pottery, glass, and game. Bale’s work was influenced by the English still-life artists George Lance and William Duffield...

Signature: Signed lower left and titled on original label verso Dimensions: Framed: 22"x25" Unframed: 15"x18" Provenance: This work is included in the catalogue raisonne of Maxime Maufra under reference 284 Durand-Ruel, Paris (acquired directly from the artist on 5 April 1895) Durand-Ruel Galleries, New York (acquired from the above in 1895) Marlborough Fine Arts, Ltd., London (acquired after 1949) Dr. Renate Davis, London (acquired from the above) Lyon & Turnbull London, 28 November 2013, lot 111 (consigned by the above) Private Collection, New York (acquired from the above sale) Sotheby's New York, 15 November 2017, lot 101 (consigned by the above) Maufra spent several years in England, notably in Liverpool, with his father, who wanted him to become a tradesman. He decided to take up painting instead and returned to France in 1883, attracting the attention of Octave Mirbeau in his very first exhibition, and subsequently being noticed by Frantz Jourdain in 1894 and Fontenais in 1901. In 1886, he successfully exhibited two seascapes at the Salon, following which he visited Brittany in 1890, making the acquaintance of Gauguin and Sérusier in Pont-Aven; he collaborated with them on the decoration of the Pouldu Inn in 1894. He maintained his acquaintance with the Nabis group artists Henry Moret and Gustave Loiseau. He travelled in l'Isère, Belgium, and Algeria (1913), as well as Paris, the Ile de France, Brittany and Normandy. From 1895, the Galerie Durand-Ruel assured the success of his work. Maufra settled in Montmartre for about ten years during which he painted the old quarters of Paris, often around the church of St Séverin. He then turned to Brittany and Normandy for inspiration in keeping with a resolve to paint only from nature, his seascapes in particular finding favour. The influence of the Nabis on his work remains limited except in the 'synthetic' organisation of the composition. He was an admirer of Sisley and Pissarro, whose influence can be seen in his paintings. Maufra, like Valtat, went to some extent beyond Impressionism to become a forerunner of Fauvism in his use of colour. An important retrospective exhibition of Maufra's work, prefaced by René Domergue, was organised in Paris around 1950. In 2001, his work was represented in the exhibition Painters and the Sarthe Region ( Les Peintres et la Sarthe) held at the Musée de la Reine Bérengère (for the 19th century) and the Abbaye de l'Épau (for the 20th century) at Le Mans. In 2003, his work appeared in the group exhibition Brittany, Land of Painters ( Bretagne, Terre des Peintres) at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Vannes.
