Charles-Emile Jacque Animal Paintings

French, 1813-1894

Charles Emile Jacque was born in 1813 in Paris. He was part of the first generation of painters to leave Paris for Barbizon and the forest of Fontainebleau. Jacque was also a founding and influential member of the “Men of 1830” (also called L'école Française De Paysage), an artistic movement who, spurred on by the Revolution of 1830, sought out new directions in landscape painting. His strong, realistic, yet sensitive depictions of shepherds and their flocks form one of the most cohesive and important bodies of work produced by the movement. During the 1840s, he and his friend, Jean-François Millet moved to the village of Barbizon where they felt they could more realistically portray nature. Jacque bought a house there and was influenced by Narcisse Diaz’s technique and Millet’s themes, he found his inspiration in hen-houses, pigsties and flocks of sheep at pasture. He left Barbizon in 1854 and continued to paint in the outskirts of Paris until he died on May 7, 1894. Works by his hand are held by numerous museums such as the Baltimore Museum of Art, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, Cincinnati Art Museum, National Galleries of Scotland in Edinburgh, Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow, Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology, and Philadelphia Museum of Art and, of course, at the Musée du Louvre and Musée d’Orsay in Paris.

The standard bearer
By Jacques Francois Joseph Swebach-Desfontaines
Located in Genève, GE
Work on wood Oil on panel depicting a lively military scene, attributed to Jacques Swebach, known as Swebach-Desfontaines (1769–1823), a French painter celebrated for his battle scenes, cavalry subjects, and historical genre compositions. The painting features a mounted standard bearer leading a small group of cavalrymen, accompanied by figures on foot, advancing through an open landscape beneath a dramatic, cloud-filled sky. The dynamic arrangement of figures, the expressive postures, and the detailed rendering of horses demonstrate the artist’s keen observational skills and narrative clarity—hallmarks of Swebach’s work. The color palette is composed of warm browns, earthy ochres, and muted blue-grey tones, creating a balanced yet animated atmosphere. The handling of paint is fluid and confident, with careful modeling of the figures and a sensitive treatment of light, particularly in the sky. The composition reflects the strong influence of 17th-century Flemish and Dutch painting, which played a significant role in Swebach’s artistic formation. Executed in oil on wooden panel, a support frequently used in the late 18th and early 19th centuries for such subjects, this attributed work displays strong decorative appeal and solid pictorial quality. It is well suited for collectors of Old Master paintings, military art, and European historical scenes from the Napoleonic era.
