About the Item

Edmond Petitjean French, 1844-1925 Etang devant une ville Oil on canvas 18.3 x 31.1 inches Framed: 27 ½ x 40 inches Signed lower left: E Petitjean Provenance: Private Collection, France Edmond Petitjean was born July 5, 1844, in Vosges. He made his debut at the Salon of 1874 and became a member of Salon of French Artists in 1883. He exhibited in Munich from 1890. He was highly esteemed by colleagues and collectors, as evidenced by the many medals and honors he was awarded throughout his career; these include the 1st Class Medal at the 1884 Salon, a 2nd Class Medal at the 1885 Salon, a Silver Medal at the 1889 Exposition Universelle and a 1st Class Gold Medal at the 1900 Exposition Universelle. He was made a Knight of the Legion of Honor in 1892. Petitjean is best known for his landscapes and waterscapes of the Atlantic ports of France and of the Alsace-Lorraine regions in the east, where the present view is set. Our painting possesses the serene naturalism characteristic of his best-known works. Two figures are seen on the banks of the pond within a composition anchored by the rich greens trees to the left. The softly rendered landscape extends into the distant hills. The painter’s keen sensitivity to light can be seen in the colorful highlights of the trees and water and in his ability to masterfully combine it with atmospheric rendering of the background.
