Painting Sketch - Fan Project - Inspired By Militants From 1789 - XVIIIth
About the Item
Very beautiful sketch of painting, realization of a fan project, revealing a so-called "painting" composition. It is so called because it is the one that most closely resembles the compositions of large-scale paintings.
The scene occupies the entire sheet and the figures are then most often distributed in a tripartite fashion. The focal point being in the center of the sheet, we see the main group, thus developing a hierarchy with the groups or characters placed laterally. Its frame is in leaf gilded wood.
Period: XVIIIth
Measures: Height: 32cm x Length: 55cm
The scene takes place outside, we note the presence of a profusion of vegetation at the edge of the scene.
This arrangement gives the impression that the figures are located in a clearing as one can observe. In the 18th century, the fan can be seen as a real miniature and portable painting that is exhibited publicly.
The composition and the subjects represented on the fan leaves were, in fact, the object of attentive care, reflecting the tastes of the time, while their mounts, similar to frames intended to enhance them, were carved. in often precious materials.
Given its semicircular shape, painting a fan leaf turned out to be particularly complex because, not only its opening forms an arc of a circle, but the leaf which constitutes it is, moreover, hollowed out from its lower part to form the throat of the fan.
Fan painters therefore had to make a specific effort to adapt their compositions to this space.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, painters worked in workshops and each performed a task corresponding to his talent, anonymity was therefore essential.
It was not until the 19th century to read the signatures on the fan leaves.
