Jean Barbault (French 17181762) Engraving
Est: $400 - $800
Jean Barbault (French 17181762) Engraving Landscape of Arc de Septime Severe in Rome Jean Barbault was born in Viarmes, France in around 1718 and was a student of Jean Restout II in Paris. In 1745 he failed to win the Prix de Rome, but travelled to Rome in 1747 at his own expense and survived by undertaking engraving work. He spent most of his career in Italy, where he lived from around 1747. There, he was admitted to the French Academy in Rome in 1750.He was a "disciple of Piranesi" and "was fascinated by Rome's sprawling Baroque thoroughfares". In 1748, he made engravings for the Varie vedute di Roma antica e moderna published in Rome.Many of his works are small paintings depicting individual figures, either Italian women, or his fellow artists. He notably executed a series of sketches and paintings of French artists who participated in the Turkish mascarade organized in 1748 to mark the Carnival of the French Academy in Rome. For the Carnival, Barbault himself dressed as an Officer of the Sultan's Guards. Some twenty works made up the series, of which the painting, The Greek Sultana, originates. In these works, painters are represented wearing fantastical "Oriental" costumes which were very much in vogue during the mid-18th century. In this regard, Barbault became one of the earliest proponents of the representation of traditional costume, a custom that became fashionable and was emulated by many later French artists. One of his larger works in oil on paper almost four metres wide depicts a group of artists taking part in a carnival procession entitled The Four Corners of the World (1751). It now forms part of the collection of the Musée des Beaux-Arts et dArchéologie at Besançon.He also painted scenes of ruins in a style similar that of Servandoni. Certain art historians believe that Barbault based the figure in the painting, Neapolitan Shepherd and Buffalo Leaving a Cave on himself. It is very similar in attitude and appearance to a figure that appears on the far right of The Four Corners of the World which is also believed to be based on a likeness of the artist. As a painter, Barbault has never been well known, and has been described as a "minor talent." He is perhaps better known for his etchings, especially the two sets of prints he published, namely: Monuments de Rome ancienne and Rome Moderne, both published in folio form. He also made a few engravings, including The Martyrdom of St. Peter, after Subleyras, and The Arrival of Columbus in America, after Solimena. He died in Rome in 1762, at the age of 43 leaving a widow and three children. An exhibition of his work was held in Beauvais, touring to Angers, Valence and Dijon, in 19745; another, which included about half of his known paintings, was staged at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Strasbourg in 2010 Size: 10.5 x 8 inches

In this regard, Barbault became one of the earliest proponents of the representation of traditional costume, a custom that became fashionable and was emulated by many later French artists. One of his larger works in oil on paper almost four metres wide depicts a group of artists taking part in a carnival procession entitled The Four Corners of the World (1751). It now forms part of the collection of the Musée des Beaux-Arts et dArchéologie at Besançon.He also painted scenes of ruins in a style similar that of Servandoni. Certain art historians believe that Barbault based the figure in the painting, Neapolitan Shepherd and Buffalo Leaving a Cave on himself. It is very similar in attitude and appearance to a figure that appears on the far right of The Four Corners of the World which is also believed to be based on a likeness of the artist. As a painter, Barbault has never been well known, and has been described as a "minor talent." He is perhaps better known for his etchings, especially the two sets of prints he published, namely: Monuments de Rome ancienne and Rome Moderne, both published in folio form. He also made a few engravings, including The Martyrdom of St. Peter, after Subleyras, and The Arrival of Columbus in America, after Solimena. He died in Rome in 1762, at the age of 43 leaving a widow and three children. An exhibition of his work was held in Beauvais, touring to Angers, Valence and Dijon, in 19745; another, which included about half of his known paintings, was staged at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Strasbourg in 2010

Jean Barbault Viarmes, 1718 - Rome, 1762 Paysanne de Frascati Huile sur toile (Toile d'origine) Porte un monogramme 'VG' sur la toile au verso Annotée 'Barbault' au crayon sur le châssis au verso A countrywoman from Frascati, oil on canvas, by J. Barbault h: 24,50 w: 19 cm Provenance : Vente anonyme ; Paris, Hôtel Drouot, Me Doutrebente, 8 avril 2005, n° 23 (en pendant avec une 'Vénitienne') ; Vente anonyme ; New York, Sotheby's, 26 janvier 2006, n° 63 (en pendant avec une 'Vénitienne') ; Collection particulière du Nord-Est de la France Bibliographie : 'Jean Barbault (1718-1762), le théâtre de la vie italienne', cat. exp. Strasbourg, 2010, p. 89, n° 22 Commentaire : Délicieuse Frascatane…Cette petite toile dans un état de conservation parfait, ayant conservé ses glacis d'origine et ses subtils empâtements nous séduit au premier regard. Frascati était au XVIIIe siècle un lieu de villégiature extrêmement prisé. Les grandes familles romaines s'étaient fait construire de magnifiques villas dans cette zone des monts albains située à une quinzaine de kilomètres de Rome où il était bon de trouver un peu de fraicheur lorsque la chaleur de l'été frappait la Cité éternelle. Comme le rappelle la bouteille accrochée au mur dans l'arrière-plan de notre toile, Frascati était aussi réputée pour ses vins blancs. Les artistes fréquentaient assidument ses lieux empreints de poésie, jamais très éloignés de leurs mécènes qui leur assuraient souvent gîte et couvert. Jean Barbault fait partie de ces artistes français incapables de revenir en France après avoir goûté les douceurs de Rome. Bien qu'ayant échoué au concours du Prix de Rome en 1745, il est introduit à l'Académie de France à Rome en 1747 grâce à la protection de son directeur Jean-François de Troy. A la mort de ce dernier en 1742, désormais privé de protection, Barbault doit quitter le palais Mancini. Pour des questions financières vraisemblablement il abandonne alors partiellement la peinture pour se consacrer à l'édition. Une lettre de Jean-François de Troy au marquis de Vandières (futur marquis de Marigny), en date du 10 novembre 1751, précise une commande relative à une suite de tableaux illustrant les Costumes d'Italie : " Le sr Barbault, pensionnaire, a fini six tableaux des douze que vous lui aviés ordonné. Il les a envoyés par le courrier de Lion à M. Soufflot, qui est chargé de vous les faire parvenir. Ces six tableaux sont : le Suisse de la garde du Pape ; le Cocher du Pape ; le Chasseur ; la Frascatane ; la fille dotée ; la Vénitienne. Il se dispose à faire, conformément à vos ordres : le Cardinal, le Prélat de Mantellette et de Mantellone, dans le même tableau ; le Chevau-Léger ; le Gentilhomme en habit de cour ; la Neptunesse ; la Florentine ; la Donna della Torre dei Greci ; la Calabrese1". Cette suite de douze tableaux était encore complète en 1863 dans la collection de Léon Gaucherel. Nous savons que Barbault eut tant de succès avec ces petits tableaux illustrant les différents costumes d'Italie qu'il réalisa plusieurs versions des mêmes sujets, toujours avec des variantes, dans les détails des costumes ou dans les fonds. Deux autres versions2 de la Frascatane sont connues, toutes deux sont dans des paysages rocheux, avec des variantes de coloris dans les costumes. La robe blanche de notre Frascatane illustre la dette de Barbault envers Pierre Subleyras 1. A. de Montaiglon et J. Guiffrey, Correspondance…, Paris, 1900, t.X, p.332 2. Cat. exp.
