19th Century French Oil on Canvas Painting in Gilt Frame in the Style of Corot

About the Item

Decorate a dining room table or an office with this elegant antique French oil on canvas painting. Set in the original carved gilt frame, the art work depicts a pastoral scene with two women by the river surrounded with trees and landscape in the manner of French painter Camille Corot. The canvas is signed Corot on the bottom right in red (see detailed images), and has a plaque reading J.B.C. Corot (1796-1875). The painting is in excellent condition with wonderful colors in the green and blue palette. Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796-1875) was a French landscape and portrait painter as well as a print-maker in etching. He is a pivotal figure in landscape painting and his vast output simultaneously references the Neo-Classical tradition and anticipates the plein-air innovations of Impressionism. Camille Corot was born in Paris in 1796, in a house at 125 Rue du Bac, now demolished. His family were bourgeois people-his father was a wig maker and his mother a milliner-and unlike the experience of some of his artistic colleagues, throughout his life he never felt the want of money, as his parents made good investments and ran their businesses well. After his parents married, they bought the millinery shop where she had worked and he gave up his career as a wig-maker to run the business side of the shop. The store was a famous destination for fashionable Parisians and earned the family an excellent income. Corot was the middle of three children born to the family, who lived above their shop during those years. Measures: 30.75" W x 27" H.

19th Century French Oil on Canvas Family Priest Portraits Painting in Gilt Frame
Located in Dallas, TX
Decorate a study or office with this elegant antique oil painting. Painted in France and dated 1862, the canvas is set in an important carved giltwood frame. The subject matter depicts five portraits of a priest family titled "Les Quatres Freres et un Neveu" ( the four brothers and a nephew ).

This choice signifies a special calling, responsibility, and consecration to spiritual service.
