Bouquet Of Peonies. Marcel De Chollet. Oil On Canvas.
Artist: Marcel De Chollet
A magnificent painting depicting a bouquet of peonies.
The colors are exceptionally delicate.
The painting is attributed to Marcel De Chollet.
He was born in 1855 in Geneva or Morges and died in 1924.
Still-life painter, watercolorist, and interior decorator.
De Chollet received his artistic training under De Borchgrave and
Bidan and also followed the guidance of P.-V. Galland at the École des Beaux-Arts
in Paris. He was still exhibiting at the Salon des Artistes Français in Paris in 1923.
Among his most important works are his decorative designs
for the Louvre department stores, as well as those for the Café Terminus in Paris.
In Geneva, he decorated the theater, and in Lausanne, the main courtroom
of the Federal Palace of Justice on Mont-Benon. Also worth mentioning are, in Bern,
the paintings in the former Federal Palace and in Territet, as well as the decoration of the ballroom
at the Grand Hotel des Alpes.
His works can be found in the museums of Fribourg, Geneva, and Lausanne.
The canvas is in good condition; I note only a very slight indentation with
a tiny chip of paint.
Original gilded stucco frame. (Damage).
Canvas only: 73 cm x 50.5 cm
