About the Item

Signed lower left, 'A.F. Gorguet' for Auguste François Gorguet (French, 1862-1927), titled 'Menton' and dated with roman numerals 'XI' for 1911; bearing old 'P. Navez' exhibition label verso with inscribed dedication 'to Frieseke'. An intimate and evocative gouache showing a view of a rustic corner of this popular coastal town in the South of France. An intuitive brush and delicate palette combine in this particularly atmospheric view. A French painter, draftsman, and illustrator, Gorguet is known for historical, mythological and genre scenes. Born in Paris, Gorguet studied at the École des Beaux-Arts under Gustave Boulanger, Jean-Léon Gérôme and Léon Bonnat, three of the foremost French painters and teachers of the era. He achieved early success with his posters and paintings capturing the spirit of the Belle Époque. Gorguet exhibited widely and with success and was the recipient of numerous prizes and awards including, in 1894, a travel prize that allowed him to travel and study in Italy, Spain and North Africa. Displayed in a gilt frame.
