Frédérik Rohde trained at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen between 1830 and 1834, with the painter d history Lund and the landscape architects Kobke and Büntzen. He himself will specialize in landscape, continuing the spirit of the Golden Age of Danish painting. It was in Germany that he made his first trip in 1842, being based in Munich until 1847. During this stay he traveled to Switzerland and Italy and thus painted sites of the great Italian lakes, mainly Como and Guard. Alongside many snow landscapes, the bulk of his work consists of views of Italy, where he will regularly visit until the end of his life. Dated works thus tell us that it was on Lake Como at least in 1846, 1860 and 1862. In particular, a drawing kept in the Charterhouse of San Martino museum, and another passed on the market of art confirm his presence in Bellagio in June and July 1860. Renowned for his often quite original points of view, Rhode is no exception to his rule here with a perspective view of an arm of the lake bordered by a terrace of the Villa Giulia, located in Bellagio, at the point that separates the two arms of Lake Como. The villa, built around 1800 in a neo-classical style, had a park that stretched from one shore to the other of the lake. King Leopold I of Belgium acquired it in 1851 from the Venini family. When Leopold died in 1865, the property passed to his son the Count of Flanders, who quickly sold it to Count Blome, an Austrian statesman. After passing through the hands of Polish and Romanian nobles at the beginning of the 20th century, it now belongs to the Bonecchi family.
Finally, it should be noted that Rohde was present at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1855, and counted among his students Vilhelm Hammershoi.

- Maurice Lobre (1862 -1951) The snackBy Maurice LobreLocated in BELEYMAS, FRMaurice LOBRE (Bordeaux 1862 - Paris 1951) Le goûter Huile sur toile H. 87 cm ; L. 91,5 cm Format peint d’origine, H. 101 cm ; L. 96 cm, disposé sur un châssis plus petit par l’artiste lui-même. Signée et datée 1888 en bas à droite Provenance : Collection privée, Lyon Exposition : 1889, Salon des Artistes Français, n°1719 « Intérieur », (ou 1720 nommé également « Intérieur ») Œuvres en rapport : Le Cabinet de toilette de Jacques-Emile Blanche, (titre erroné) H. 80 cm ; L. 85 cm, HST, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid, pendant de notre toile. Maurice Lobre a-t-il connu Marcel Proust ? On ne peut encore l'affirmer, bien qu'il ait eu de nombreux amis en commun avec l'écrivain. Mais sa peinture intimiste pourrait illustrer certaines pages de Du côté de chez Swann. Trois citations dues à des proches de Proust, l'une de l'écrivain Léon Daudet, la seconde du peintre Jacques-Emile Blanche, la dernière du poète mondain Robert de Montesquiou, donnent un aperçu de ce que fut la renommée de Maurice Lobre en son temps : "Il en va autrement de Lobre, le Vermeer français, le peintre exquis des intérieurs et des palais de Versailles, des reflets sur les meubles rares, de la lumière prisonnière des miroirs, des laques et des cuivres polis. Lobre est joyeux comme un coup de vent, qui fait envoler les préjugés et les poncifs, éloquent, passionné, ivre de la couleur et des formes, charmant et conquérant de toutes les matières. Il se promène ici-bas ainsi que dans un musée en plein-air, s'amuse de tout, rejette et maudit le laid et le vil, accueille et bénit le beau et le bien…" Léon Daudet L'Entre-deux-guerres. Souvenirs des milieux littéraires, politiques, artistiques et médicaux de 1880 à 1905. "Voici le patient, appliqué, sage M. Lobre. Il est difficile de mettre plus d'honnêteté à peindre des intérieurs sans figures. Je préfère ses petits salons de Versailles à ses cathédrales… Nous lui devons des petits bijoux d'émotion et de large fini." Jacques-Emile Blanche "Il a recueilli sur des toiles le visage du vieux Versailles (…). Il a peuplé de visions impalpables des chambres " où il s'est passé quelque chose ", et il en a saturé l'atmosphère de particules historiques. Donner une telle impression avec certitude, avec vérité, c'est plus difficile que de faire évoluer des personnages costumés, dans ce qu'on appelle bêtement "une reconstitution historique"." Comte Robert de Montesquiou Maurice Lobre commence sa carrière au Salon de 1882 où il expose deux portraits, dont celui de son camarade de l'atelier Carolus-Duran, le peintre espagnol Ramon Casas...Category
