About the Item

This beautiful and vibrant 19th century American watercolor is an hommage by Paul de Longpré to the Alps, as it features a rich variety of Alpine flowers from various seasons. Paul de Longpre, born in 1855 in Lyon, began painting at 12 years of age, and proudly boasted his first painting in a Paris Salon in 1876. He left France after a financial failure of a Paris bank left him without money, going to New York in 1890 to do commissions. His successes resulted in the first flower-painting exhibit in New York in 1896. His paintings (most in watercolor) continued to gain in popularity, and he took his newfound wealth to go to Los Angeles where he could paint flowers year-round. He and his wife Josephine became a key part of the social scene in Hollywood, with their famed garden becoming one of Hollywoods landmarks. The measurements are: without frame ca 17 1/3" by 12 1/2" with frame ca 25" by 20" Provenance: Private collection USA Signed.
