        Georges Croegaert (Belgian,French,1848-1923) oil painting antique

        ARTIST: Georges Croegaert (Belgium, France, 1848 - 1923) TITLE: The Letter MEDIUM: oil on board CONDITION: Few small scratches. One small inpainting. Some damages to frame. ART SIZE: 8 x 6 inches / 20 x 15 cm FRAME SIZE: 13 x 11 inches / 33 x 27 cm SIGNATURE: lower left CATEGORY: old antique vintage painting for auction sale online AD: ART CONSIGNMENTS WANTED. CONTACT US SKU#: 126875 US Shipping $42 + insurance. BIOGRAPHY: Georges Croegaert was a Belgian academic painter who spent most of his career in Paris. He is known for his genre paintings of elegant society women and humorous depictions of cardinals executed in a highly realist style. He was born in Antwerp. He studied at the Antwerp Academy of Fine Arts. He moved to Paris in 1876 where he remained active as an artist for the rest of his life. He had a successful career as a portrait and genre painter. His paintings received critical acclaim and were sought after by English and American collectors. He exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon between 1882 and 1914 and in Vienna in 1888.He died in Paris in 1923 after a long and successful career. Croegaert painted initially highly detailed still lifes, bird and flower subjects and occasional outdoor genre scenes. He built a career with his salon portraits of glamorous young women dressed in sumptuous fabrics set in luxurious rooms. He also gained a reputation as the leading artist in the genre of cardinal paintings, humorous representations of cardinals engaged in various mundane activities in lavish surroundings. His works are very narrative and the objects in the background support the story of the painting. His paintings are characterized by a high degree of finish and a rich palette. Most of Croegaert's portraits of elegant young women are distinguished by their lavish detail. The influence of his relation, Jan Jacob Croegaert-Van Bree, is suspected in the elegance and realism of his style. When he arrived in Paris portrait paintings depicting the lifestyle of contemporary, fashionable city dwellers had become popular. The trend was started in Paris in the late 1850s by the Belgian painter Alfred Stevens and was then adopted by other Belgian painters working in Paris such as Charles Baugniet and Gustave Leonard de Jonghe and the Frenchman Auguste Toulmouche.By the late 1860s there was a ready market for genre scenes with bourgeois figures, usually young glamorous women, depicted in sumptuous surroundings. With the onset of the Belle Epoque in the 1870s, this type of paintings depicting fashionable women set in an interior became popular at the Paris Salon. The highly realistic depictions of Croegaert of society women have usually a slightly ironic undertone. This is clear in his wink at the contemporary fashions of Japonism and Orientalism in his paintings of The Reading Woman and the Dreams of the Orient, where the women depicted appear overcome by their infatuation with Japanese and Oriental art. In the last decades of the nineteenth century Croegaert painted a series of small portraits of women rendered in a highly realistic manner. The women are depicted at bust length and appear to melt into the pale unadorned backgrounds. These portraits have generic titles such as A Blonde (Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum, Bournemouth) or Portrait of an Auburn-Haired Woman (Haworth Art Gallery). The artist's usual eye for colour and detail and a concern for the overall effect of design characterize these paintings. Possibly looking for a lucrative niche in the market, Croegaert started to paint ˜cardinal paintings, sometimes also referred to as ˜anti-clerical art. These paintings depict Roman Catholic cardinals in a sumptuous setting typically engaging in some banal activity. Georges Croegaert was not the only artist in Paris practicing in this genre. Others who made a name in the genre include the Italian Andrea Landini and the Frenchmen Jehan Georges Vibert, Charles Edouard Delort and Marcel Brunery.By depicting cardinals participating in activities such as ˜approving the artist's nude model', card games, excessive or sumptuous eating and drinking and indulgent pastimes such as philately and painting, these painters poked fun at the excessive and sometimes debauched lifestyles of the upper echelons of the Catholic clergy. There was clearly a large demand for these paintings as evidenced by the fact that so many artists worked in this genre. The tone of Croegaert's cardinal paintings was humorous and slightly mocking rather than overtly anti-clerical. Croegaert's very detailed technique was perfectly suited for this genre as it allowed him to depict the excesses of the cardinals' lifestyle amid an environment of ornate furnishings, tapestries, glass and silverware rendered in realistic detail. He was particularly accomplished in capturing the vivid reds and purples of the cardinals' robes and the characterization and humour in the faces of his somewhat pathetic subjects.

        Dec. 01, 2022

        Croegaert, Georges: Der Brief

        Est: €1,500 - €2,500

        Der Brief. -- Öl auf Holz. 35 x 26,8 cm. Unten links signiert "Georges Croegaert Paris". -- -- Georges Croegaert gilt als einer der wichtigsten Vertreter der sogenannten "Kardinalsmaler". Nachdem er an der angesehenen Académie royale des Beaux-Arts in Antwerpen studiert hatte, etablierte er sich dort bald als gefragter Porträtist und Maler von detaillierten Stillleben und Interieurs bevor er 1876 nach Paris ging. Hier widmete er sich zunächst vor allem Salonporträts eleganter Damen in reich ausgestatteten Interieurs. Zeitgleich begann er aber auch, Mitglieder des hohen Klerus darzustellen, die er bei ganz alltäglichen Beschäftigungen in luxuriösen Räumlichkeiten zeigte. In all seinen Gemälden kommentieren dabei die aufwendig gestalteten Interieurs, Möbel und Gemälde stets subtil die Persönlichkeit der Dargestellten. Das Pariser Bürgertum verstand diese Andeutungen und seine versteckte Kritik an dem ausschweifenden und selbstbezogenen Leben der Portätierten nur zu gut und die Bilder erfreuten sich schnell allergrößter Beliebtheit. Schon bald stellte er mit großem Erfolg auch in Brüssel und Wien aus und fand viele neue Sammler in ganz Europa und sogar in den Vereinigten Staaten. In vorliegendem Gemälde wird Croegaerts akribischer Blick für Details, gepaart mit seiner charmant formulierten Gesellschaftskritik besonders spürbar. -- -- - Provenienz: Sotheby's, London, Auktion am 3.

        Georges Croegaert (1848-1923) Contemplation oil on panel signed 'Georges Croegaert, Paris' lower right h:27  w:22 cm. Provenance: Ernest T.H. Bennett, London (label verso); Private Collection In this painting, a richly-dressed Cardinal, in scarlet silk gown, sits in the grand salon of a house in France or Belgium. On a table beside him, lie a sheaf of letters, an open inkwell and a box, presumably containing pens. The cardinal appears to have just written a letter and addressed it, and is now contemplating the effect it will have, when opened and read by the recipient. The expression on the cardinal's is somewhat comical, and Croegaert has, with skill-but not necessarily cruelty-depicted this senior prelate laughing at his own joke. There is a shared sense of humour here, in which the artist has invited the viewer of the painting to reflect on the foibles of humanity, in the widest sense. A Realist painter from Belgium who had studied art in Antwerp and before moving to Paris in 1876, Georges Croegaert is best-known for such depictions of senior clerics, and also society ladies. His portraits of young women, dressed in glamorous clothing, in fashionable interiors, often with a Japonisme or Oriental theme, helped establish his fame and success in the French capital. While seeming at first glance superficial, Croegaert's portraits and genre scenes are characterised by a quiet sense of humour and an insight into the weaknesses and vanities of mankind. In keeping with a long-established Netherlandish tradition, the objects depicted in his paintings are intended to tell a story, and to point up a moral. As well as his society portraits, he also painted outdoor and genre scenes, sometimes set on riverbanks, with picnickers resting on the grass. Occasionally he painted everyday scenes in cafes, as in his Café de La Paix (1883). However Croegaert is best-known for his 'cardinal' paintings, in which senior figures in the church were depicted, sumptuously dressed in red robes, but indulging in idle or frivolous activities-other artists who painted 'cardinal' paintings included Francois Brunery, Andrea Landini and Jehan Georges Vibert. Croegaert was highly popular in his lifetime, not least with European and American collectors, and his paintings have remained popular ever since his death, in Paris, in 1923. His The Cardinal's Lunch is in Hartlepool Museum, while Lady with a Fan is in the Shipley Art Gallery, The Artist's Studio is in Wigan. Peter Murray, March 2019
