French School Circa 1870 : "romantic Montage From Le Brun"

French school circa 1860 "Romantic montage after Le Brun", meeting of four works under the same frame, separated by a marie-louise in gilded paper, "Les amours jardiniers" 10 X 33 cm, "Cérès" 18 X 23 cm , "Generosity of Nature" 19 X 26 cm, "Charging Knight" 14 X 9.5 cm for a set of 36 X 51 cm, on canvas by Maison Amiot in Paris mounted under glass in a recent frame.
Thanks to the expertise of Dominique Brême specialist of the artist, whom I would like to thank here, I can, without this obstructing the text below, that these are studies according to the decoration of Le Brown for the Pavillon de l'Aurore in Sceaux. Many annotations (framer?) On the back. The first three seem to me to be oils, the fourth is a watercolor on pencil lines. If those at the bottom, with their arched top, showing a woman asleep on sheaves of wheat and another naked woman in the middle of the animals pressing each other's breasts to give out generous milk, as well as the frieze of loves, could well be wall decoration projects on a naturalistic theme, the fourth is irrelevant and seems to have been put there only to balance. If the influence of Delacroix on the artists of the XIXth century was immense and will last long after his death in 1863, the construction, the color and the beautiful craft of these sketches indicate to us that their author was also a Master, yet to be identified. As is, breaks and minor losses. Do not hesitate to ask us for photos or additional information by email or phone.
