Oil on Canvas "Feeding the Birds" by César Pattein ( French 1850 - 1931)

About the Item

César Pattein (French 1850-1931, most Active 1882-1914). Born in Steenvoorde, in northern France, Pattein was raised among farmers and maintained a close connection to the rural region throughout his life. Qualified to represent agrarian traditions and rustic rituals, Pattein eventually met and became influenced by naturalist, Jules Breton in the mid-1880s. Pattein seldom traveled much further than Lille, with the occasional journey to Paris when exhibiting at the Salon. In his early career, he experimented with portraiture and historical and religious subjects. In 1896, he was awarded a medal from the Paris Salon. Concepts of nature, God, and poverty, as in Millet's work, are embedded in Pattein’s works. “Feeding the Birds” is an excellent example of realism, expressing love for nature and poverty. Pattein chose color palettes that permit us to experience the sunniness and gayness of rustic life. César Pattein pieces can be found in museums worldwide. The highest auction price is $59,000. $10,500 represents a lower-range valuation. With frame: H= 30 in. W= 34 in. D= 5 in. Without frame: H= 21.5 in. W= 26 in. D= 1.5 in. Total Weight: 20 lbs.
