Auguste Toulmouche Paintings

French, 1829-1890

Auguste Toulmouche was a French painter known for his luxurious portraits of Parisian women. Toulmouche was born in Nantes to Émile Toulmouche, a well-to-do broker, and Rose Sophie Mercier. He studied drawing and sculpture locally with the sculptor Amédée Ménard and painting with the portraitist Biron before moving to Paris in 1846 to study with the painter Charles Gleyre. He exhibited his work at The Salon from 1848 onwards, receiving numerous accolades, including a silver medal at the Salon of 1861 and a bronze medal at the 1878 Universal Exposition. Although he also produced portraits and landscapes, he is primarily known for his intimate interior scenes of domestic life. His paintings exhibit the polished, academic style typical of Gleyre and his followers. In 1870 he was made a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour.

Gruppo 8 dipinti Eroine dell’antichità, Francesco Conti, XVIII secolo
Located in Milan, IT
Oil on gattice wood in octagon. Il gruppo di otto dipinti in oggetto (figg. 1-8) rappresenta, nel classico formato fiorentino dell’ottagono, una serie di effigi femminili a mezza figura. Più precisamente, si tratta di giovani fanciulle elegantemente vestite, disposte in varie attitudini ma accomunate, ad eccezione di due esemplari sui quali ci soffermeremo in seguito, dall’accento sulla ricchezza, evidenziata sia da particolari di fastose console e drappeggi, sia da collane di perle o tessuti preziosi che le donne talvolta maneggiano, ponendovi così l’accento. Una delle figure porta in testa una corona reale, altre dei turbanti o inconsueti copricapi. Questi dettagli conferiscono ai personaggi un aspetto principesco, talvolta abbinato a richiami orientaleggianti. Una formula che riporta alla mente il caso di un dipinto da poco riscoperto nella sua vera identità, il “Ritratto fino a mezzo busto di Regina Armena” di Mario Balassi, seducente connubio di recuperi alloriani ed elementi di fantasia conservato alle Gallerie degli Uffizi (vedi F. Berti, Da ritratto mediceo di Jacopo Ligozzi...
