Gaston Bussière (April 24, 1862 in Cuisery – October 29, 1928 or 1929 in Saulieu) was a French Symbolist painter and illustrator. Bussière studied at l'Académie des Beaux-Arts in Lyon before entering the école des beaux-arts de Paris where he studied under Alexandre Cabanel and Pierre Puvis de Chavannes. In 1884, he won the Marie Bashkirtseff prize. He was close to Gustave Moreau. He found inspiration in the theatre works of Berlioz (La Damnation de Faust) as well as William Shakespeare and Wagner. He became in demand as an illustrator, creating works for major authors. He illustrated Honoré de Balzac's Splendeurs et misères des courtisanes published in 1897, Émaux et camées, written by Théophile Gautier, as well as Oscar Wilde's Salomé. He also illustrated several works by Flaubert. An associate of Joséphin Péladan, the founder of the Rose-Croix esthétique, Bussière exhibited his works at Salon de la Rose-Croix over two years. Many of his works are on exhibit at the Musée des Ursulines in Mâcon.

Bathing in the Forest by V Gilbert Early 20th Century Impressionist Oil Painting

Bathing in the Forest by V Gilbert Early 20th Century Impressionist Oil Painting

By Victor Gabriel Gilbert

Located in St. Albans, GB

Victor Gilbert 1847 - 1933, French Oil on Panel A magnificent work by Victor Gilbert and one for all collectors. This is a rare and important example on a grand scale that is scarcely seen. Artist's very rarely painted on beautiful mahogany panels as large as this as they were too expensive and very hard to buy. The fact that Gilbert did this highlights the significance of this work. Panel Size: 45 x 26" (114 x 66cm) Outside Frame Size: 52 x 33" (132 x 84cm) Free Shipping Victor Gilbert’s natural ability as an artist was recognized early, but his family lacked the financial resources to send the young man to the École des Beaux-Arts. Rather than enrolling in the École, Gilbert was apprenticed to Eugene Adam as an artisan painter and decorator. His only formal education was evening classes with Pierre Levasseur at the École de la Ville de Paris. Perhaps it was his early immersion into la vie quotidienne that formed the basis for his later choices of subject matter for his art, that of the markets and streets of Paris. Despite his lack of formal training, Gilbert’s admissions to the Paris Salons of 1873 and 1874 were very well received by audiences and critics alike; at this time he was supported by the dealer Paul Martin, who was an important proponent of the Impressionist movement. Gilbert emerged in the early 1880s as the primary Realist painter to record the French marketplace...

Romantic Forest Landscape, Oil on Wood Panel, Mid-19th Century

Romantic Forest Landscape, Oil on Wood Panel, Mid-19th Century

By Narcisse Diaz de la Pena

Located in Genève, GE

Dimensions with frame: 22 x 29,5 x 3,5 cm Signed "N. Diaz" in the lower left corner. A richly atmospheric 19th century Romantic landscape painting depicting an intimate woodland clearing animated by delicate figures and fluttering white doves. The composition unfolds beneath a dense canopy of trees, where dramatic brushwork and layered impasto create a sense of movement, mystery, and depth. At the center of the scene, small elegantly dressed figures appear gathered near the water’s edge, possibly engaged in a poetic or symbolic moment. The surrounding birds in flight add dynamism and luminosity, their pale forms contrasting beautifully against the deep greens, earthy browns, and golden highlights of the forest. The artist employs expressive, almost impressionistic brushstrokes, giving the foliage a vibrant, textural quality. Light filters through the trees, illuminating portions of the composition while leaving other areas in shadow, enhancing the romantic and slightly theatrical mood. Both mysterious and lyrical, this work evokes themes of nature, contemplation, and transcendence. It would make a compelling addition to a refined interior, particularly for collectors drawn to moody landscapes and narrative European painting of the 19th century. A compelling and atmospheric antique oil painting that beautifully captures the poetry of nature and the elegance of human presence within it. 19th century landscape painting, Romantic forest painting, antique woodland scene, European Romantic art, antique oil on canvas, atmospheric landscape artwork, forest clearing painting, figures in landscape, doves in painting, impressionistic brushwork, Continental school painting...
