About the Item
Adolphe-Felix CALS Paris, 1810 – Honfleur, 1880 Oil on canvas 45 x 38 cm (69 x 63 cm with frame) Signed and dated on the right "Cals / 1879" Label on the back mentioning the model "Jenny Godin" Beautiful 19th century oval frame in carved, decorated and gilded wood Very good condition
This is the portrait of Jenny Godin, the daughter of the sculptor Eugène Godin who, moreover, exhibited the plaster portrait of his daughter at the Paris Salon in 1882. Jenny Godin, born Oursel, was from a Norman family who Adoplhe -Félix Cals may have known, being himself establised in Normandy. Miss Jenny Godin was a renowned pianist who played at Broustet concerts and at the Salle Pleyel in particular. For example, she played the gavottes for piano in C minor (R 31) by Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921) (first performance) in Paris, Salle Pleyel on February 22, 1879. Our painting is dated 1879. Cals is a pre-impressionist painter who settled in Honfleur and painted genre scenes and landscapes in this region; but also portraits, of his relatives in particular and of the inhabitants of the Honfleur region. His qualities as a painter can be seen in our portrait : the very sensitive rendering of the material, the characteristic vibrant touch which brings life to people. One understand why Cals has been described as a pre-impressionist !

Adolphe-Félix Cals
Adolphe-Félix Cals was a French portrait, genre and landscape painter. He was born into a poor family, yet his parents attempted to prevent him from performing manual labor. He initially trained as an engraver under Jean-Louis Anselin, who was a family friend. After Anselin died suddenly, he went on studying engraving, first with Ponce, then under Bosc, before finally entering the atelier of Léon Cogniet. Cogniet tried to mentor Cals in the direction of a more popular style although Cals disagreed. Cogniet argued that Cals’s style would hurt his career but Cals refused to give in. He parted company with his neoclassical-influenced teacher, owing to his teacher's lack of appreciation for the emerging Impressionist movement in art.
