About the Item
Jules Gustave BESSON
Paris, 1868 – Saigon, 1942
Oil on canvas
46 x 38 cm (53 x 44 cm with frame)
Signed upper left “JBesson”
An academic painter, Jules Besson studied with Cabanel and Elie Delaunay. He first painted religious subjects before evolving towards naturalism in genre scenes such as The Laurel Harvesters (Museum of Fine Arts of Marseille).
Naturalism is a movement in painting which strives to render beings and things in a way close to natural in spirit and style. Bastien-Lepage is the main representative in France. In the 1880s he exerted a profound influence on young painters, in France but also in Europe and as far as Scandinavia with painters with an astonishing clarity.
Our painting is a beautiful example of naturalist painting, simple and natural at the same time as very effective. A beautiful painted figure, "Painting of a model" and dated 1893 (Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris) ressembles our painting as an exercise in style. A small still life but remarkable for its elegance, lightness and clarity.

P. Masure / 1912" Painting exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants in 1913 (2032. « Fleurs et japoneries ») Beautiful 19th century frame Georges Paul Masure was a Parisian painter in the Montparnasse area. He exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants in the years 1900/1910. Our painting is the painting he exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants in 1913 under the number 2032 and titled "Flowers and Japaneries". It represents a still life with a bunch of flowers, a magnificent basket of oranges, a pomegranate and a Japanese sculpture with a little fisherman with a red Koi carp. 2500 years ago, when the son of Confucius was born, he received as a gift from King Shoko of Ro, a fish that was first called Koi. It represents the symbol of strength, because this fish was the only one able to go up the steam of the Yellow River. Owning a koi will long remain the prerogative of the Japanese nobility. The dominant colors in the painting are orange and red. And in Japanese Shinto...Category

- French 18th century MONNOYER Flowers Oil canvas octogonal tulips decorativeBy Jean-Baptiste MonnoyerLocated in PARIS, FRFrench school of the early 18th century Jean-Baptiste MONNOYER (Entourage de) Lille, 1636 – London, 1699 Oil on canvas laid down on panel 55 x 39 cm (67 x 53 cm with the frame) Very good condition (a few repaints) This is an old canvas , close to Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer art. The good quality and the style indicates probably a date at the end of the 17th century or the beginning of the 18th century. The painting represents a bouquet of tulips, carnations, poppies of Christmas roses. It is an artificial composition and a very symbolic work. The red and white tulip is the symbol of passionate and pure love. The poppy flower is the symbol of dreams and rest. And the Christmas rose is both associated with Christmas and therefore with Incarnate Love. But the latter is also associated with black magic, its botanical name is "black hellebore" and it contains poison that burns. The poppy has been known since ancient times for its soporific, analgesic and narcotic effects. And the red carnation symbolizes pure and ardent love. So this painting has a meaning. It seems to symbolize love and its contradictions between purity, calm, rest, danger and passion ! An entablature and a decorative element on the right (a piece of column...Category

- Mighty oak on a gold-leaf background by Italian botanical artistBy Margherita LeoniLocated in Milan, ITThe artist has an elegant mark of nature, and the experience of working en plein air allows her to capture emotions that would otherwise not be possible. She is considered Italy's best botanical artist and collaborates with many botanical gardens where she also holds watercolour courses, a technique she masters like few contemporary artists. The artist herself prepared the background in real, stainless gold, which gives it a modern, warm surface that chameleonically matches the colours of the surrounding walls. Margherita Leoni was born and raised in Italy, however, she spent most of her adult life in San Paulo, Brazil. It was there that she started a collaboration with the botanical faculty of the local university, allowing her to develop interesting research in rare botanical species studies and drawings. For this reason, most of her artworks, illustrate Brasilian botanical species, both rare and common. The artist's mastery of watercolour allows her to take part in botanical expeditions where she paints in plein air. Given her exquisite watercolour technique and her extensive botanical knowledge, Margherita Leoni is considered the heir of Margaret Mee. Among her most important exhibitions, three of her artworks were selected by Shirley Sherwood...Category
