Jacques Chantron 'French 1842-1918' 19th Century Oil on Canvas "Mother & Child"

About the Item

A fine and large French 19th century oil on canvas "Mother and Child Crossing a Creek" by Alexandre Jacques Chantron (French 1842-1918). The impressive and finely executed artwork depicting a young joyous mother holding her child on one arm and a basket full of plums on the other while attempting to cross a calm creek by stepping on stones; within a gilt-wood frame. Signed and dated (l/r): "A.J. Chantron, 1879". Circa: 1879. Alexandre Jacques Chantron (28 January 1842 – 1918) was a French artist from the Western city of Nantes. His early work consisted mainly of portraits and still lives, and later he took to painting nude studies in the manner of Bouguereau, a theme he continued to develop while experimenting with the fledgeling photographic technology of the day. Chantron was a pupil of François-Édouard Picot, Tony Robert-Fleury and William-Adolphe Bouguereau. He entered the Paris Salon in 1877 with a religious subject, and gained an honorable mention in 1893. He exhibited Fleurs de printemps at the Salon in 1895. He was awarded a third class medal in 1899, and a second class medal in 1902 for his painting Feuilles Mortes.
