Pair, Josef Gabriel Frey (1791–1884) Gouache on Paper French Revolution

About the Item

A remarkable pair of gouache on paper paintings by Josef Gabriel Frey (1791–1884), these works vividly capture pivotal moments from the French Revolution. Executed circa 1825–1826, the paintings are rendered with meticulous detail and vibrant color, showcasing Frey’s exceptional skill in historical representation and narrative composition. Each scene is imbued with a sense of drama and dynamism, characteristic of the Romantic era’s fascination with revolutionary themes. The compositions demonstrate Frey’s mastery of human expression and movement, as well as his ability to convey the emotional intensity of the period. The use of gouache allows for a luminous quality, enhancing the dramatic interplay of light and shadow within each piece. Frey’s works are rare and sought after, as he was known for his ability to translate historical events into powerful visual narratives. These paintings not only serve as exquisite examples of his artistry but also as poignant reflections on the turbulent history of the late 18th century. Framed in period frames, this pair is a stunning addition to any collection of fine art or historical memorabilia. Measures: 20.125" w x 15.75" h.
