Large painting depicting fisherman, Henry Bidauld

About the Item

Large painting depicting fisherman. Epoch: 19th century. Henry Bidauld born 1839 Sainte Colombe de bois ( Nievre ) died 1898 in Rossillon was a painter and illustrator. Henri Bidauld is grandson of painter Jean-Pierre-Xavier Bidauld (1745-1813) and great-grandson of neclass painter Jean Joseph Xavier Bidauld (1758-1846). Henri Bidauld's aunt, Rosalie Bidault dit Zélie (1798-1876) was also a painter. After a childhood in Neuville sur Ain, he moved to Paris where he perfected his painting with Louis Francais and sculpture, continued his training with a two-year stay in Rome, then returned to Paris. Following in his father-in-law's footsteps, Henri Bidauld succeeded in making Rossillon a painting village where many artists came to work in the surrounding area. A literary community also meets there with writers and poets, including Joséphin Soulary. In 1870 he was elected to the city council of Rossillon and became mayor in 1884. It remained so until his death in 1898. Henri Bidauld made his debut at the Lyon Salon in 1864 and exhibited there regularly until 1897. In 1872, he exhibited at the Paris Salon and was honored for his painting The Sacred Wood at La Burbanche, which was purchased by the state and donated two years later to the museum municipality of La Roche Sur Yon. He exhibited in Paris until 1893. He painted landscapes, in the Loire and then mainly in the Bugey (Ain) around the Rossillon, genre scenes testifying to the region's peasant life, with acute realism influenced by Jean Francois Millet and later by his friend Jules Breton. There are very few portraits painted by Henri Bidauld, with the exception of a few studies and drawings. In 1883 he illustrated Charles Guillon's book, Les Chansons populaires de l'Ain., preface by Gabriel Vicaire with other artists such as Charles Beauverie. His traditional, landscape style initially evolved timidly toward Impressionism in the 1880s. His works are preserved at the town halls of Belley and Carpentrans, in Bourg en Bresse at the Brou Museum, the municipal museum of La Roche sur Yon the departmental museum of Burgey Valromey, and the museums of Dijon and Lyon. Canvas only size 169 x 126 with frame 177 x 132.5 cm.
