Pair of Large 19th Century Hand Painted Wall Panels on Canvas in Gilt Frames
About the Item
Decorate a living room with style with this elegant pair of antique panels. Created in France circa 1830, and measuring 7 feet, the panels are set in a carved gilt frame and are hand painted on canvas and stretched over a wooden back for stability. Each wall decor features a hand painted central medallion in the typical style of Claude Vernet with a harbor scene at dawn with ships, fishermen and moon; each medallion features wonderful details. Both colorful artwork are embellished with floral and leaf motifs throughout the whole panel. The large Louis XV style wall decors are in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and adorn rich pastel colors in the soft ochre and green palette with touch of red, pink and orange accents. Versatile, the tall panels could be placed on both sides of a mantel, between windows, in an entry over a pair of consoles or chests, or in a staircase. Hooks in the back for easy install.
Claude-Joseph Vernet (1714-1789) was born in Avignon. When only fourteen years of age, he aided his father, Antoine Vernet (1689–1753), a skilled decorative painter, in the most important parts of his work. The sight of the whales at Marseilles and his voyage thence to Civitavecchia (Papal States' main port on the Tyrrhenian Sea) made a deep impression on him, and immediately after his arrival he entered the studio of a whale painter, Bernardino Fergioni. Vernet is considered as the leading French landscape painter (with Hubert Robert) of the later 18th century. He achieved great celebrity with his topographical paintings, harbor scenes and serene landscapes. He was also one of the century's most accomplished painters of tempests and moonlight scenes.

The subtlety of colours, bold yet not garish, lend a 'noble' look to the piece. History Such luxurious items were popular in England during the height of fashion for oriental exoticism, called chinoiserie in Europe. The young Prince of Wales (future King George IV) was often described as having a wildly extravagant taste in decorating his palaces. As early as 1801, the Prince had been completely taken by Oriental tastes and began to expand his existing Brighton retreat. Having been presented a gift of Chinese wallpaper, he ordered a Chinese Gallery to display the new paper. The 162-foot long room was contrived of painted glass decorated with flowers, insects, fruit and birds. The Prince's desire for additional structures in the Oriental manner resulted in commissioning the fashionable architect John Nash and the designer Frederick Crace...Category
