Joseph Mittey Paintings

Swiss, French, 1853-1936
Joseph Mittey was born on April 1, 1853 in Vix, and died on June 25, 1936 in Geneva. He was a Swiss painter of French origin. He exhibited in Paris where he began in 1877 at the Salon of French Artists (then still called the Salon of Painting and Sculpture). He was then active in Geneva and thus participated in the introduction of Impressionism in Switzerland. Joseph Mittey was called to Geneva at the end of the 1870s to open the drawing class at the brand new School of Industrial Arts. Édouard Ravel joined him there a few years later to teach art history. Later, both work on the decoration of the communal hall of Plainpalais, inaugurated in 1909. In 1879, the class of ceramics opens, teaching to which the holder, Joseph Mittey, does not take long to join the decorative composition, which had first attributed to J. Benoit-Muzy and H. Silvestre, then decorative painting. Freemason, Joseph Mittey decorates in particular the temple of the Swiss Grand Lodge Alpina and fitted out the temple of the lodge "The Union of Hearts". He was also one of the active decorators in the construction of the pavilions for the National Exhibition held in Geneva in 1896. Joseph Mittey was the teacher of many students, including Carlos Schwabe, who took his classes from February 1882 to 1884 at the School of Geneva. On the sidelines of the interior decorations of official buildings, he painted during his career mainly very colorful landscapes (views of countryside and rivers, snowy landscapes, views of Antibes, sunny terraces...), with soft but firm complexions. There are also bouquets and animated scenes. Joseph Mittey devotes himself to oil painting, watercolor and colorized pyrography. He exhibited all over Europe, in major Salons and in prestigious art galleries (Galerie Paul Vallotton in Lausanne, Galerie Rowney in London). His works are present in a room of the Lancy museum, devoted to regional art and impressionism, at the Winterthur art museum and in many private collections.

Sunset at Dawn, Impressionist 20th Century Landscape, Oil on Canvas

By Joseph Mittey

Located in Genève, GE

Signed "J. Mittey" in the lower right corner. This evocative impressionist landscape captures a tranquil sunset over a distant city skyline. Painted with soft, atmospheric brushwork, the composition blends warm hues of peach, coral, and pale orange across the sky as the sun dips behind the urban horizon. The skyline appears subtly through a veil of atmospheric haze, creating depth and a sense of quiet distance. In the foreground, lush green foliage and rolling terrain are rendered with expressive strokes, providing a natural contrast to the silhouetted architecture beyond. The interplay between the natural landscape and the softly emerging city structures lends the painting a poetic and contemplative mood. Executed with oil on canvas, the work demonstrates a refined sensitivity to light, color transitions, and atmospheric perspective, reminiscent of impressionist plein-air traditions. This intimate yet expansive composition would make a beautiful addition to a collection of impressionist landscapes, cityscape paintings, or atmospheric sunset scenes, bringing warmth and subtle elegance to any interior. impressionist landscape painting, sunset cityscape painting, atmospheric landscape oil painting, impressionist city skyline, vintage oil painting landscape, sunset skyline artwork, impressionist urban landscape, plein air style painting, impressionist sunset painting, city skyline at sunset art, landscape with city view painting, atmospheric cityscape painting, impressionist oil on canvas, European style landscape painting, soft color palette painting, skyline landscape artwork, sunset horizon painting...
