Still Life With Fruit Branches Jean-baptiste Pellin (1798-1868)
Artist: Jean-baptiste Pellin (1798-1868)
These elegant branches of fruit standing out against a cloudy sky are by a 19th century artist from Lyon, Jean-Philibert Pellin (1798-1868).
The motif, eminently decorative, is reminiscent of the silk prints that the city of Lyon made a specialty of in the 19th century.
With no biographical information on the artist, one may wonder whether Jean Philibert Pellin could have worked as a painter creating motifs for the Lyon manufacturers.
In any case, perhaps painted just for themselves, in a skillful and realistic manner, these fruits and foliage remain extremely attractive.
On the back of the painting, the inscription of his own son makes the work all the more endearing.
It says: this painting was painted by my Father / 1860 / Jean Philibert Pellin / born in Lyon on 29 Prairial year VI / 1798 / died in Paris on December 5, 1868 / son of / Jean Baptiste Pellin / signed Ph Pellin
