19th Century Oil Painting by Robert Kemm "Seville Marketplace" circa 1860s
About the Item
In the years following Spain's War of Independence (1808-1814), the country's reputation for exoticism and extravagance spread throughout Europe and attracted a large number of intellectuals and artists. Along with his contemporaries John Phillip, J. Bagnold Burgess and Edwin Long - English painter Robert Kemm (Salisbury, England 1837- London 1895) traveled to Spain between 1861 and 1864 visiting in particular the cities of Seville and Granada, where he painted "costumbrista" scenes of traditional daily life in Andalucia. His first exhibition at the Royal Society of British Artists took place in 1874, and Kemm's canvases showed a romantic view of Spain featuring the various exotic characters and locations he found there.
Kemm's work was featured in the exhibition "Romantic English Painters in the Nineteenth Century" presented at the Botines Palace in León, Spain in 2009, and his works are held by various museums including the Museum of Fine Arts of San Francisco, the Salisbury Museum, the Archaeological Society of Wiltshire, the Museum of Sunderland and the Sheffield.

- 19th Century Impressionistic Oil Painting by Pierre Georges JeanniotBy Pierre Georges JeanniotLocated in Casteren, Noord-BrabantImpressionist painting by the Swiss painter Jeanniot. It is oil on a mahogany panel, the painting is signed in the lower left and dated 1884. On the back is a label, presumably stuck on it by a previous owner, with information about the painter. The painting has an Art Nouveau frame, woodwork with stucco, gilded and decorated with typical Art Nouveau flowers. Top left and top right are minor damages to the frame. See pictures. Jeanniot is a fairly well-known Swiss painter who was friends with the famous French painter Edgar degas. Below you will find more information about the painter Jeanniot. Pierre-Georges Jeanniot Switzerland, 1848-1934 The artistic education of Pierre Georges Jeanniot began with his father, Pierre-alexander Jeanniot (1826–1892), a longtime director of l’École des Beaux-arts of Dijon, France. Nevertheless, Pierre-Georges Jeanniot started out pursuing a military career, as an infantry officer (1866–1881), but he never ceased drawing. He was known for the first time in 1872 at the art exhibition salon de Paris, where he presented a watercolor painting called 'intérieur de forêt'. The next year he presented the painting 'Le Vernan à nass- sous-Sainte-anne'. From then on he was a regular contributor to the salon de Paris, where he presented new works with views of Toulouse, Paris, Troyes, the edges of the seine, and some portraits. In 1881, after the army offered him the rank of commandant, he resigned to devote himself exclusively to painting. He took up residence in Paris. His works from this period represent mainly scenes of military life that allowed him to forge a reputation. Jeanniot established himself permanently in 1882 and obtained his first award the following year (medal third class of the Salon de Paris). From then on, he started to show a certain artistic independence. He then mostly portrayed Parisian women during the “Belle Époque”, women in bathing suits...Category
