French Japonisme Hand-Painted Oil-on-canvas of a Geisha with a Fan

About the Item

A beautiful 19th century French japonisme oil-on-canvas painting of a Geisha holding a fan. This beautiful Geisha is modeled after the Japonisme movement brought up by French artists integrating Japanese artistic styles into their art work. During the mid-1870s, the demand for Japanese decorative arts, fashions, woodblock prints, screens, porcelains and the like, became quite the craze among well-to-do Europeans. Artists took note and drew inspiration from the Japanese aesthetic. It became known as Japonisme, or the French ‘Japonisme’, and you can see these influences in many works from the mid to late 19th century. Some painters opted to integrate eastern themes and techniques in their work from the comfort of their studios, posing beautiful Geisha's, such as this one, wearing magnificently hand-painted komodos' with vibrant reds and gorgeous flowers throughout the outerwear. circa 1880.

  • Charles Stuart "Their Mountain Home" Oil on Canvas, Signed, 1895-1897
    Located in New York, NY
    Charles Stuart (British 1838-1907) "Their Mountain Home" from 1895-1897 is on oil on canvas and is signed as well as dated. This gorgeous highland landscape depicts a stag herd retreating down the mountain from the impending mists. Stuart captures the swirling movement and material quality of the fog, which obscures the towering mountains adding an element of mystery and magic to the painting. In juxtaposition, the foreground of the painting is rendered in precise detail from the rippling tides to the leaves of grass. Each stag is differentiated adding an element of naturalism. Charles Stuart, F. S. A. was a landscape painter active from 1881 to 1904. Born to a long line of painters, Stuart exhibited at the Royal Society of British Artists and the Royal Academy. He was a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London, and the prestigious Savage Club whose members included Charles Dickens. He was married to Jane Maria Bowkett...
