Artist: Jean-baptiste Brunel
BRUNEL Jean-Baptiste (1844-1919)
"The painter on the island of Barthelasse"
Oil on canvas,
Signed and dated 1909 lower right,
Beautiful work by the Avignon painter Jean-Baptiste Brunel who represents himself walking with his painting equipment under his arms in the undergrowth of the island of Barthelasse, in Avignon.
We notice in the background, behind the trees, the "Château de la Barthelasse": a place loved by the artist that he painted many times over the seasons and years.
The color palette used by the artist perfectly represents the colors of the vegetation and the creamy sky of an autumn day.
A student of Paul Saïn, Bougereau and Tony Robert-Fleury, he exhibited from 1884 to 1914 at the Salon des Artistes Français. He devoted himself to painting the landscapes of Avignon and its surroundings in a classical and faithful manner. He strives to use a faithful color palette giving harmony in the tones of the seasons.
Nicknamed the "Painter of Dawns" because of his many paintings freezing the morning dawn, of which our painting testifies. He has the particularity of making vaporous skies and in shades of gray and pink according to the weather and the seasons.
Nb: An old restoration, without impact, is visible on the back of the canvas.
Dimensions: 38 x 55 cm without frame and 69.5 x 42.5 cm with its modern frame in gilded wood.
