About the Item

Jean-François Raffaëlli (French, 1850-1924) Le Marchand de Habits, 1895 Etching and drypoint Sight: 6 x 4 in. Framed: 12 x 9 3/4 x 3/4 in. Initialed lower left in plate: R This etching is recorded as catalogue reference Delteil 24. Jean Francois Raffaelli was born in Paris on April 20, 1850. Before dedicating himself to painting, Raffaelli was an actor and played in the Lyric Theater. He then entered Jean Leon Gerome's studio and made his debut at the Paris Salon of 1870. At first he painted genre pictures and then in 1879, he began doing picturesque views of quaint Paris neighborhoods. After executing a few portraits, notably those of "Edmond de Goncourt"" and "Clemenceau", he resumed to genre painting and made a serious effort to reproduce scenes of middle-class life. He participated in the get-togethers at the Cafe Guerbois, where Degas, against the wishes of the other members of the group, forced Raffaelli's acceptance at the impressionist exhibitions of 1890 and 1891. He had an admittedly somber palette, which was in absolute contradiction to the typical impressionists and he would later lighten his palette before the end of his life. More careful with his drawing than color, Raffaelli made a preliminary drawing in black and white of most of his canvases. He also did Paris landscapes, and in this manner he reached a large public. His typical scenes of Paris are accurately seen and expressed with spirit. His landscapes of the city's slums and fortifications created their own genre and perpetuate to this day our memory of this strange "no man's land' which has since disappeared.

19th Century Engraving by American Impressionist Herman Hyneman
By Herman Hyneman
Located in New York, NY
Herman Hyneman (American, 1849-1907) Untitled, c. 1880 Engraving Sight: 13 x 8 1/2 in. Framed: 26 1/2 x 20 1/2 x 3/4 in. Signed bottom The following is from Peter Jung who credits "a friend named Jeff Gold on Long Island." Herman N. Hyneman (1849 - 1907) was born in 1849 to one of the most prominent Jewish families in Philadelphia. Unlike most Jewish families of the time, his embraced and encouraged his artistic talent. In 1874, Hyneman followed his first cousin Moses Ezekiel, National Academy member, to Europe to study. They first went to Germany and then to France where Hyneman began eight years of study with Leon Bonnat, the French Master. In Paris, the twenty-five year old Hyneman resided in a studio building at 75 Boulevard Clichy, with expatriates Frederic Arthur Bridgeman, Charles Sprague Pearce, Milne Ramsey, and Edwin Blashfield. Hyneman was clearly exposed to the works of these more experienced artists, as well as that of Walter Gay. In 1879, one of Hyneman's genre paintings, entitled "Desdemona", was accepted into the Paris Salon. That painting received favorable reviews both in Europe, and later in Philadlephia where it was exhibited alongside the works of other Philadelphia Artists exhibiting at the Salon that included Thomas Eakins, Pearce, Edward May...
