About the Item

Exceptional pair of oil paintings on canvas featuring two views of elegant homes in broad daylight. They are titled The Shadow of the Tree on the White Facade and The House with the Blue Door. Both feature a distinctive composition, adopting a complex perspective, avoiding the buildings from the front. "The Shadow of the Tree on the White Facade" is divided into two vertical halves. The left panel shows the white wall on the side of the building, projecting the shadow of the tree, with only a few branches visible. The right panel shows the blue fence surrounding the house, which displays some classically inspired ornamentation, such as the fluted pilasters and the drops decorating the cornice. “The House with the Blue Door,” on the other hand, shows the entrance to another house, with slate roofs in a bluish hue that matches the intense blue of the fence and stands out against the white of the façade, illuminated by the bright midday light. Colored shadows also contribute to this bluish atmosphere, all punctuated by the green touches of the vegetation. The most notable features of this façade are the voussoir frames surrounding the openings and the imitation of the Renaissance-inspired quoining on the wall that supports the exterior fence. These pendant works were created expressly to be exhibited together, as a pair, which gives them greater expressive power. Both are signed and dated.

Using both light and shadow with skill and precision, she painted cityscapes showing each season in Paris. Though her artwork's value is mainly aesthetic, Caroline Burnett oil...
