About the Item

Jules COIGNET Paris 1798-1860 Torrent in the Alps Watercolor and brown ink wash Signed lower left 18 x 26.5 cm 29.5 x 37.5 cm framed Condition: Remarkably fresh Period frame and glass. The glass has small bubbles, which can be seen in the photos taken in daylight, but which do not interfere with the reading of the work when hung on the wall. A pupil of Jean-Victor Bertin (1767-1842), Jules Coignet distinguished himself from his master's classicism through the naturalism of his landscapes. Grand Prix de Rome in 1817, he stayed at the Villa Medicis with Ingres, Alaux and David d'Angers. He was also a tireless traveler, touring the French, German and Italian countryside, tirelessly sketching the sites he visited, which he then reproduced in his studio on canvas or paper, notably as lithographs. He published numerous collections of views of his travels, as well as educational works designed to train young landscape artists. Our exceptionally fresh work perfectly illustrates the artist's watercolor virtuosity. The use of white paper in resèrve, combined with the variations in hue of the ink wash and watercolor, gives it a remarkable balance, between a more descriptive, precise foreground and an almost synthetic background.

Antique 19th century English Victorian Waterfall scene landscape

By John Brandon Smith

Located in Woodbury, CT

John Brandon Smith, John Brandon Smith is an English landscape artist of some renown. He concentrated on the waterways of England, Scotland and Wales. He was particularly interested in the effects of cascading water. This led to his being given the moniker 'Waterfall Smith'. He was fascinated by the spectacle of rivers in spate. Many of his paintings concentrated on the rivers Conway, Llugwy and Lledr in North Wales but he also painted the rivers of England and Scotland. Some of his more celebrated works show The Swallow Falls and Aysgarth Falls in North Yorkshire. He used many shades of green and blue on his small, jewel-like canvases. He would occasionally introduce the figure of a fisherman to provide perspective. His themes are characteristic of the Renaissance of the European Romantic Movement. He exhibited twenty-two works at The Royal Academy between 1860 and 1874. He also exhibited at Suffolk Street. This is a very rare large example of the painters work. It is framed in an Antique English frame
