  • FRANCOIS BOHER, LANDSCAPE WITH WATERFALL AND FIGURAL STAFFAGE, oil on canvas (relined), 64 x 83 cm
    Nov. 17, 2012

    FRANCOIS BOHER, LANDSCAPE WITH WATERFALL AND FIGURAL STAFFAGE, oil on canvas (relined), 64 x 83 cm

    Est: €15,000 - €20,000

    François Boher was the son of a stonemason and worked first as a sculptor before becoming a painter. He travelled, like many other French artists of the time, to Italy, in order to complete his education. Boher belongs to the great tradition of French landscape painters of the 18th Century. His paintings are influenced by work of Claude Vernets, Jacob Philipp Hackert and other painters of the 18th Century. This painting uses well known motifs of French landscape painting such as the imposing waterfall, the antique temple and the figures fishing.

  • French School (18th Century) - Drummer, Belvoir Castle and a Battle Scene (3)
    Mar. 24, 2011

    French School (18th Century) - Drummer, Belvoir Castle and a Battle Scene (3)

    Est: £150 - £250

    French School (19th Century) and Francois Boher (French, 1769-1825) A Drummer Announcing Public News to Villagers; together with English School (19th Century) - A View of Belvoir Castle, 1840; and Francois Boher (French, 1769-1825) - A Battle Scene with Cavalry and Guns the last inscribed "Boher invenit" pencil and wash on buff paper; and pencil (3) h:21 w:24 cm Other Notes: Country People Gathered about a Drummer Reading a Public Notice - The subject is attractive and lively. The scene is most likely French, as shown by the Phrygian cap worn by the drummer, the Breton-like costume of the women, complete with clogs and the architecture of the cottage in the distance. The style of drawing has echoes of Gericault and Delacroix, although not competent. There are several pentiments - the left arm of the man on the right gesturing to the right, dog seated in the left corner and hand of man holding drum-stick. The Battle Scene, which is drawn rather in the French eighteenth-century style of battle painting founded at the beginning of the century by Joseph Parrocel, is evidently by the little-known French painter and architect François Boher (1769-1825). He died in Perpignan, where he seems to have been mostly active. There are some 11 drawings by Boher in the Cabinet des Dessins of the Louvre, mostly in black chalk, which are in a Neo-Classical style quite unlike the Rococo flavour of this drawing, but a number are signed identically to the present drawing. We are grateful to Nicholas Turner for his help with the catalogue entry.
