Portrait painter: Unknown.
If child portraiture became a popular genre in Europe in the 16th century, it was during the Age of Enlightenment , that it develops in France.
However, the little models are still very often subject to the codes of the official portrait, showing them in their best educated light.
The accentuated taste for more intimate representations at the end of the Ancien Régime, and the development of family feeling, thanks to the gradual decline in infant mortality, place the child at the center of the picture.
From the 19th century, painters no longer sought to disguise it as a large person or a small picturesque subject, but sought its truth.
Next to the city bourgeoisie, still posing, other children play the newsboys. Naturalism will eventually have the last word, in the 20th century.
The 19th century is not only that of Delacroix, Van Gogh or Cézanne.
The immense success of the Impressionists has often thrown into obscurity (contempt and ignorance mixed together) many artists practicing all genres, often appreciated during their lifetime, then fallen into oblivion.
Nevertheless, the 19th century is one of the richest in the history of painting.

- Pair of Gilt Bronze Candlesticks Attributed to F.Barbedienne Period 19th CenturyBy Ferdinand BarbedienneLocated in CRÉTEIL, FRLovely pair of gilt bronze candlesticks, attributed to Ferdinand Barbedienne. The tripod base in the shape of lions' paws is surmounted by a collar formed of aquatic vegetation where a salamander wanders. On the fluted, elegant and straight was another salamander hastens to find its congener. The shoulder supporting the four light arms in the shape of an oil lamp is highlighted by three African elephant heads. The sockets are original and removable. A magnificent fantastic creature, guardian of this royal and symbolic fauna, half man, half animal, serving as an extinguisher, comes to magnify the whole of this sublime achievement of quality in all respects. Period: Late 19th century Dimensions: Total height: 55.5cm x width: 16cm The elephant is often seen as a symbol of strength and power. Being a large and magnificent animal, it is quite logically considered a powerful and majestic creature. His way of life, dependent on the herd, is at the origin of deep relational bonds based on loyalty, which develop the power and the will to defend others. The salamander had an amazing reputation for walking through flames. This alleged power has earned him, among other things, to be a royal symbol. With this exceptional power, the salamander was chosen by one of our most flamboyant kings, François 1er...Category
