19th century French, Surrender of the French at Huningen Fort to the Austrians

19th century French, Surrender of the French at Huningen Fort to the Austrians

Located in Woodbury, CT

Wonderful French period copy of the famous painting by Jean-Baptiste Édouard Detaille, which the original is now in a museum in Paris. This piece came from a private collection in New Jersey where it had been since it was purchased in France back in the 1950s. The previous owner was an Art dealer in NYC during the 1950s-70s and she kept some of her favorite paintings, this being one of them. The piece was re-framed in the 1990s In 35 years of dealing in paintings, I have never seen another example of this scene, it is very rare.! History of the scene: In the Siege of Hüningen (27 November 1796 – 1 February 1797), the Austrians captured the city from the French. Hüningen is in the present-day Department of Haut-Rhin, France. Its fortress lay approximately 2.5 miles (4.0 km) north of the Swiss city of Basel and .5 miles (0.80 km) north of the spot where the present-day borders of Germany, France, and Switzerland meet. During the time of this siege, the village was part of the Canton of Basel City and the fortress lay in an area contested between the German states and the First French Republic. The siege occurred within the French Revolutionary Wars during which Revolutionary France ranged...

French Poilus Marching, World War I Scene, Signed and Dated 1915

French Poilus Marching, World War I Scene, Signed and Dated 1915

Located in Genève, GE

Executed in 1915, at the height of the First World War, this remarkable oil on canvas by the French painter Eugène Chaperon (1857–1938) is signed and dated in the lower left corner. The composition depicts a column of French infantrymen—the legendary Poilus—marching through a rural landscape under a dramatic sky. Chaperon conveys both the determination and fatigue of the soldiers with remarkable realism, while a mounted cavalryman, village church, drifting dust, and scattered military equipment enrich the narrative and immerse the viewer in the atmosphere of wartime France. Particularly noteworthy is the accurate representation of the French Army's uniforms during the transitional year of 1915. The newly adopted horizon-blue uniforms appear alongside elements of the earlier military dress, making the painting not only a powerful artistic achievement but also an important historical document reflecting the evolution of the French Army during the Great War. A respected painter of military and historical subjects, Eugène Chaperon built his reputation through meticulously observed compositions distinguished by their academic precision and documentary accuracy. His works preserve key moments of French military history while conveying the humanity of the soldiers who experienced them. Beyond its historical significance, this painting is a compelling example of early twentieth-century French Academic Realism, combining dynamic composition, refined execution, and subtle handling of light. It will appeal equally to collectors of military art, historians, and enthusiasts of French academic painting. A distinguished and highly decorative work that embodies both the artistic excellence and historical memory of the First World War.
