19th-Century French School, Chevreuils En Forêt

c. 1880

About the Item

This charming late 19th-century French School oil painting depicts a forest view with deer. Stylistically, it fits with the approach taken by the Barbizon school of artists who were active between 1830-1870. These were some of the first to truly embrace painting outdoors and they’re seen as a precursor to the French impressionists. Many of their works were created in the forest of Fontainebleau near the village of Barbizon. The composition is particularly reminiscent of those by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796-1875), so perhaps the artist was a follower. Signed illegibly in the lower left and held within a gilt frame. Labels & Inscriptions: Exhibition label on reverse. Provenance: Private collection, France / Private collection, England.

  • Christian Berthelsen, Village Landscape With Thatched Cottage & Storks
    Located in Cheltenham, GB
    This charming 19th-century oil painting by Danish artist Christian Berthelsen (1839-1909) depicts a village scene with storks nesting atop a timber-framed dwelling. Is it simply a gentle portrayal of idyllic family life? Or does it allude to a sinister fairy tale by a well-known Danish author? Berthelsen was born on the small picturesque island of Føhr, where most families worked the land and lived in villages peppered with quaint thatched cottages. Amid these rural communities, children became familiar with various folk stories including those told so menacingly by the author Hans Christian Andersen. In 1839, the year Berthelsen was born, Andersen published ‘Storkene’, a typically macabre tale involving a family of storks. It begins: "On the last house...
