The Astronomer Unique Historical Folk Art Painting Signed 1918
About the Item
Unique Historical Work of Art Dated 1918 "L' Astronome (The Astronomer) by Fedinant Roybet.
This is an original and one-of-a-kind artistic presentation- a superb pyrography incising on wood entitled verso "The Astronomer" by Fedinant Roybet.
Signed A. Hougue 30/3 1918 lower right. It is probably the French artist Jean Louis Marie Adrien de la Hougue, (1874 - 1959) and with the title "L Astronome" incised on back
The prototype is either directly "The Astronomer" by Ferdinand Roybet (1840-1920)
painting from the Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon or the engraving by Charles Walther (1846-1925) which must be at the Museum of Fine Arts in Reims.
This pyrography beautifully captures a gathering of astronomer enthusiasts hovering around a worldly globe based on a drawing of very high quality and was likely made very shortly after the original was created.
Likely unique, this work of art is beautifully hand incised using pyrographic techniques.
Dimensions: 12.75 inches high and 16 inches wide
Provenance: Old French collection.
History of the Pyrography:
py·rog·ra·phy is the art or technique of decorating wood or leather by burning a design on the surface with a heated metallic point. Pyrography was particular popular during the last quarter of the 19th century and first quarter of the 20th century and likely originated in France.
We will be offering more important high quality Folk Art Pyrographic works of art in the near future.
