About the Item

Antique oil painting of a landscape with wild flowers. The painting is painted in an impressionistic style, with a quick touch. The paint is quite thick on the canvas. The painting is painted in atmospheric perspective. The colors in the foreground are bright and sharp, the colors in the background become increasingly blurred and softer. This gives depth to the painting. This technique fits nicely with the impressionistic style of the painting, the artist wants to represent an atmosphere, a feeling or emotion. The painting is framed in a gold-coloured frame, original from the time, wood with plaster and gold wax. The painting is signed lower left 'M Smits.' Nothing is known about this artist. Probably a Belgian name. The painting is in good condition. Clearly visible craquelure, especially in the air party. Age appropriate and not disturbing. Dimensions frame: 80 x 102 cm Dimensions canvas: 59 x 80 cm.

19th Century Impressionistic Oil Painting by Pierre Georges Jeanniot
By Pierre Georges Jeanniot
Located in Casteren, Noord-Brabant
Impressionist 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...
