Gustave Loiseau | Pittore Post-Impressionista

Gustave Loiseau (Parigi, 1865-1935) è stato un pittore Francese, appartenente al movimento dei post-impressionisti.

L'espressione pittorica di Loiseau si mantenne sempre nell'alveo della corrente post-impressionista e se egli mostrò qualche evidente influenza da parte di altri maestri, non si può che fare il nome di Claude Monet, specie osservando le sue rappresentazioni dei porti, delle falesie e delle chiese, eseguite in piccole serie.

Loiseau dipingeva all'aria aperta, immerso nei paesaggi che lo ispiravano, in Bretagna, in Normandia, o anche nei centri abitati, come Moret-sur-Loing o la stessa Parigi. Realizzò molte tele su Pontoise e sulla sua regione, come del resto fece anche Camille Pissarro, riprendendo il quartiere dell'Hermitage, la cattedrale di Saint Maclou, la banchina di Ponthuis e le sponde dell'Oise. E si portò anche in molti dei centri abitati circostanti, come Auvers-sur-Oise, Nesles-la-Vallée, Osny e Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône.

Gerrit Dou (1613-1675)

As the son of a glass engraver, Gerrit Dou began by learning to engrave and paint glass.

In 1628, he was apprenticed to Rembrandt.

Here Dou learned the art of chiaroscuro, the contrast of light and shade which became his speciality: his candlelit scenes became all the rage.

Dou’s genre paintings also sold for high prices.

Camille Pissarro | Le Marché de Gisors, Grande-Rue, 1885

On Monday mornings, Camille Pissarro often joined his wife Julie and a couple of their children, with some household helpers, for the two-and-a-half-mile excursion from their home in Éragny to attend market day in Gisors, a town of about four thousand inhabitants further down the Epte River.

While Julie stocked up on produce and provisions for the coming week, Pissarro sketched the many people from Gisors and nearby villages who gathered among the stalls set up on the Grand-Rue (today the rue de Vienne) near the town hall, as they engaged in selling, buying, or bartering, exchanging news, and socializing during this all-important, weekly communal event.

Ludwig Dettmann | Couple in Landscape

Ludwig Julius Christian Dettmann (1865-1944) was a German Impressionist painter.

He was one of the founders of the Berlin Secession in 1898, and, together with Max Liebermann, Walter Leistikow, Otto Heinrich Engel, Oskar Frenzel, Curt Herrmann and Fritz Klimsch, was a member of the advisory board.

Camille Pissarro | Jeanne Pissarro (Minette) holding a Fan, 1873

Jeanne-Rachel, known as Minette, was born in 1865 and died at Pontoise on 6 April 1874.

She was a sickly child and treated by Dr Paul Gachet.

In this portrait, painted when she was eight, the subdued colouring and tentative handling give an added intimacy to the scene.

She holds a Japanese fan, reflecting her father's increasing interest in Japanese art.

Vittorio Matteo Corcos | Sogni, 1896

Vittorio Matteo Corcos (Livorno, 4 October 1859 - 8 November 1933) was an Italian painter🎨, known for his portraits.

Many of his genre works depict winsome and finely dressed young men and women, in moments of repose and recreation.

In 1880, the artist established himself in the Parisian art scene, falling into the circles of Léon Bonnat and Giovanni Boldini🎨.

Between 1881-1886, he frequently exhibited at the Salon.

His works are held in the collections of the Uffizi in Florence and the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna in Rome.
