19th Century 15' Tall Oil on Canvas Mural of Angels and Cherubs by Ernest Narjot

About the Item

This stunning original oil on canvas mural was painted by Ernest Etienne Narjot (1826-1886). At 15.5' tall and 10' wide, this massive canvas is a rare find. Two large winged angels (one playing lyre) are in the clouds, while six small cherubs are seen in floral garland and cloud background. This canvas was displayed on the ceiling of the Fine Arts Building constructed for the California Midwinter International Exposition in Golden Gate Park in 1894. Later, this structure became the famous de Young Museum, the oldest museum in San Francisco, CA. Condition: Age related craquelure throughout, peelings, creases, tears/small holes, re-touches, etc. Canvas will benefit from cleaning which we leave to discretion of buyer. Please refer to professional photos for clear understanding of color, condition, and details; photo lighting, individual monitor display and home lighting all impact how item is viewed. Photos are part of item description, please ask questions or request additional photos of specific areas if needed. Ernest Narjot painted in a detailed, traditional style seen in his landscapes, portraits, and several murals for public buildings. By the 1880s, he was considered one of California's foremost painters and also illustrated books of early California life. His paintings were meticulously detailed and rendered in the traditional style of the mid-19th century French School of painting. Narjot died in San Francisco on Aug. 24, 1898. His works are rare since many of his paintings were destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire. Note: this is one canvas of a pair. Second canvas is available but sold separately, Item/SKU # 17067 (subject is Zeus, Apollo, and other minor Greek gods in the clouds with couple cherubs). Please inquire if of interest.
