Wenzel Ulrik Tornøe a Large Oil on Canvas "the Sewing Room"
About the Item
Wenzel Ulrik Tornøe (Danish, 1844-1907) A very fine and large oil on canvas titled "Systue" ("The Sewing Room"). The finely executed artwork depicting the interior of a sewing room with eight dressmakers taking their lunch break; one opening a bottle of wine, another holding a glass ready for the pour, the seated center one holding a cup of tea with a semi-wrapped biscuit, one leaning against the back wall, another resting by a table and the other standing three maidens sharing catalogue page. Tornøe capture of the face expressions of exhaustion on the young seamstress’, as well as the details in the background and the efficacy of painting the transparent glass on they young girl’s hand are all truly exceptional, making this painting probably one of Tornø’s best artworks. Signed and dated: Wenzel Tornøe, 1885. Circa: Denmark, 1885.
Exhibited: Charlottenborg 1885 no. 404.
Wenzel Ulrik Tornøe (1844-1907) was born on September 9, 1844 in Svendborg Denmark, he was the son of Jens Wenzel Tornøe and Eleonore Jacobine Lacoppidan. On July 18th 1876 he married the artist Karen Elisabeth Blumer, daughter of the grocer Samuel Blumer and Bolette Marie Abigael Wendelboe. Tornøe is perhaps one of the most well known exhibited Charlottenborg Palace artists of that period. He was known for his poignant and anecdotal portraiture and genre pieces. Having studied under Carl H. Bloch (whose is considered the finest religious, genre and historical painter of his time), Tornøe surpassed many his peers in skill, technique and style. His works have sold at many prestigious auction houses around the world, including Sotheby’s, Christie's and many other works adorn the walls of private collections, museums, and European castles.

Unframed. Signed: F. GAILLIARD (l/r), circa 1890. Measures: Canvas height: 95 inches (241.3 cm). Canvas width: 84 1/2 inches (214.6 cm). Franz F.D.A. Gailliard (1861-1932) was a Belgian Neo-Impressionnist and Luminist painter of figures, portraits, landscapes and beach scenes. He was also a reporter, watercolourist and draughtsman for French, English and Belgian lifestyle magazines and newspapers such as the French Le Patriote illustre´, Belgian Le Petit Bleu and English London Illustrated News. He received his artistic education at the Academy of Brussels under the tutorship of Jean Portaels, Joseph Stallaert and Franc¸ois Bossuet. Gailliard also studied at the Brussels Academy of Beaux-Arts and in Paris under the supervision of Jean-Le´on Ge´ro^me (French, 1824–1904) and followed class together with his contemporaries James Ensor, Le´on Fre´de´ric and Fernand Khnopff. He met up with the renowned American painter James Whistler in 1887 and showed him around Brussels. He was the first artist to introduce the "dripping" method in 1891. After having painting in a realist and traditional style, he got influenced by the Impressionist French School, and headed toward a "luministe-divisionniste" technique in his latest period. He exhibited at the Brussels Salon, and at the Salon des Artistes Franc¸ais in Paris from 1882 to 1891, as well as in Venice and Du¨sseldorf. Gailliard exhibited his oeuvre at the "Cercle Artistique et Litte´raire" in Brussels in 1910 and 1913. He became eventually director at the Academy of Sint-Gillis where his son Jean-Jacques Gailliard took class in order to also become painter. A retrospective was held in is honour is 1957 in Sint-Gillis. Even though he was influenced by the Art Deco aesthetics after the First War, he never stopped studying and experimenting with light. Gailliard exhibied at The Esposizione Internazionale d'Arte della Citta` di Venezia (Venice) in 1909 and at La Biennale di Venezia, (Venice) in 1907. He also exhibited at Le Muse´e d'Ixelles, Brussels. Gailliard died in Brussels on February 16, 1932.
