A Large Oil Painting by Frederick Arthur Bridgman ‘La Fête des Bois’, Circa 1897
About the Item
Frederick Arthur Bridgman
La Fête des Bois, Les Bacchantes
signed F.A. Bridgman (lower left)
oil on canvas
Dimensions: Height: 73" Width: 150" ( 185.4cm x 381cm)
La fête des bois, les bacchantes imagines a celebratory procession of flower-crowned revelers parading joyfully through the woods. Bridgman exhibited a near identical version, approximately one third of its size, at the Paris Salon of 1896, no. 311 (for illustration, see Sotheby's, February 12, 1997, lot 71). The painting certainly raised eyebrows and stirred feisty commentary when it was exhibited at London's Royal Academy. As one critic wrote in the Atheneum:
