About the Item
A very fine Caravaggesque-inspired painting, 19th century (circa 1840-1870), French School, in the style of the 17th-century masters. "Young Page Removing or Adjusting a Knight's Armor." Oil on oak panel – 18 × 20 cm (unframed) – 32 × 35.5 cm (framed). A superb example of Caravaggio's great revival in the mid-19th century. In a small, almost cabinet-sized format, the artist has recreated with astonishing fidelity the atmosphere of the great tenebrists of the 16th century: harsh, raking light; a stark contrast between deep shadows and glare on the metal and faces; rapid brushstrokes in the background; and soft, sensual modeling of the flesh tones. The delicate and melancholic subject depicts a young page in a cinnabar-red turban who, in a slow, almost caressing gesture, helps a pensive knight remove (or don) his armor. The work breathes a restrained romantic poetry: youth serving experience, human fragility beneath the armor, time suspended before or after battle. A very seductive palette: the vibrant red of the turban, the deep, velvety green of the sleeve, the steel reflections of striking realism. Beautifully executed, a blend of meticulous homage to 17th-century models and a light softness typical of 19th-century taste. The panel of reused antique oak, with its natural crackling and patinated varnish, gives an impression of a much more advanced age. A magnificent period frame of blackened wood with gilt fillets, perfectly preserved and in complete harmony with the painting. This type of small painting was highly sought after during the Second Empire and the Third Republic by enlightened collectors who were rediscovering Manfredi, Valentin de Boulogne, and Saraceni. Excellent examples can be found in French and Italian private collections, often created by talented painters who had stayed in Rome or Naples. A decorative and moving work, with a rare presence, ready to be hung immediately.

Chasse à Courre Carle Vernet (1758/1836) Entourage

Located in GOUVIEUX, FR
Scène de chasse dans un paysage boisé
Entourage de Carle Vernet (1758–1836)
Huile sur panneau, 24,5 x 32,5 cm
Charmante scène animée dans un paysage de sous-bois baigné d’une lumière dorée, cette composition illustre l’influence de Carle Vernet dans le genre du tableau de chasse et du paysage animé. On y retrouve l’élégance narrative propre à l’artiste et à son cercle, avec un sens aigu de la composition et du mouvement.
Les cavaliers, les chiens, les chasseurs et les promeneurs, répartis avec naturel sur un chemin bordé d’arbres majestueux, apportent vie et profondeur à ce petit format. L’atmosphère est paisible, tandis que le ciel lumineux et les ombres douces soulignent la qualité de l’exécution.
Ce tableau, par sa touche précise et son sens du détail, s’inscrit pleinement dans la tradition française du paysage néo-classique enrichi de scènes de genre...
