Richard Combes Still-life Paintings

British, b. 1963

Richard Combes creates remarkably lifelike oil paintings that explore the relationship between vacant spaces and the solitary people who fleetingly occupy them.

Decaying inner-city building interiors, rain-soaked streets and solemn storefronts are the subjects of choice for the British artist’s award-winning realist work. Combes’s carefully rendered depictions are a love letter to disused spaces that time and the elements have left bedraggled and dilapidated. He has cited Impressionist and Surrealist art as having been influential for him, and his background as an architect provides him with a keen insight into the themes he explores in his work.

Combes was born in Manchester. He graduated from the architecture program at the University of Liverpool and immediately secured work in his field of study. Combes eventually felt dissatisfied with his career choice, as he began to notice that he was more interested in sketching the neglected and largely vacant spaces than finishing his architectural renderings that would form their replacement. Combes made a change — he moved to New York City and earned his MFA at the New York Academy of Art.

Combes was elected as a full member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters in 2004. His work has earned international acclaim and a lengthy list of prizes and awards. Combes’s paintings have been exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery, and his work is in the private collections of many celebrities and prominent figures.

Pommes et raisins - Impressionist Still Life Oil Painting by Jeanne Baudot
Located in Marlow, Buckinghamshire
Signed impressionist oil on canvas still life by French painter Jeanne Baudot. The work depicts a bowl filled with red and green apples and grapes. Signature: Signed upper left Dimensions: Framed: 33"x29" Unframed: 26"x22" Provenance: By direct descent from Jeanne Baudot to her godson Jean Griot Jeanne Baudot's father, Emile, was doctor to French artist Auguste Renoir's relatives when they lived in Louveciennes. In 1893, she met Auguste Renoir through her cousin Paul Gallimard, an art collector. Renoir travelled from his studio in Montmartre to meet the aspiring painter and give his opinion on her work. Renoir was so impressed with what he saw that soon she became his only pupil. Form 1897 to 1914, she lived at 4, Rue du Général Leclerc in Louveciennes, where Renoir had his workshop. She became the godmother of Auguste Renoir's second son, Jean Renoir, at the Saint-Pierre de Montmartre church, while Georges Durand-Ruel was the godfather. Throughout her life she stayed close to Jean Renoir, who became a film director. He wrote the preface of the exhibition catalogue of her retrospective in 1960 at Galerie Durand-Ruel. Auguste Renoir painted several portraits of Jeanne Baudot. They became great friends, accomplices and confidants. They painted side by side, in the studio of the painter, in the studio of Jeanne and outside, in the countryside, in Louveciennes, in the South and elsewhere, chatting cheerfully. He gave her advice, and shared his own concerns, such as those caused by his talks with the representatives of the State to make them accept the paintings bequeathed by Gustave Caillebotte. Maurice Denis painted Auguste Renoir and Miss Jeanne Baudot in 1906. Jeanne Baudot was a childhood friend of painter Julie Manet, the daughter of Berthe Morisot and Eugène Manet, and appears in many instances of Manet's diary. Her name was given to a street in Louveciennes. Lifetime Exhibitions: 1905, Paris, Salon d'Automne. 1906, Paris, Salon des indépendants. 1925, Paris, Salon des Tuileries. 1930, Paris, Galerie Dru from November to December 1930. 1950, Paris, Galerie Durand-Ruel, from April 28 to May 15, 1950. Retrospective Exhibitions: 1966, Paris, Galerie Durand-Ruel, Dame & Demoiselles – Blanche Hoschedé, Jeanne Baudot, Paule Gobillard...
