Jean-Jules-Antoine Lecomte du Nouy Sold at Auction Prices

b. 1842 - d. 1929

(born 1842; died 1929) French painter and sculptor. Primarily known for his Orientalist paintings, Jean-Jules-Antoine Lecomte du Nouy studied painting under Charles Gleyre in 1861, Emile Signol in 1863, and Jean-Leon Gérôme in 1864. Gérôme proved to have a lasting influence on Lecomte du Nouy, inspiring him to travel abroad and paint exotic subjects. Lecomte du Nouy began exhibiting at the Salon in 1863 and won a gold medal in 1866. In 1865 he traveled with fellow artist Felix Clement to Egypt but failed to receive much business. In 1872 he won the Second Prix de Rome, and in 1875 he took an extensive trip to Greece, Egypt and Turkey. Before returning to France, Lecomte du Nouy stayed on in Bucharest for another two years where he painted the Royal Family and frescoes for churches. Both a painter and sculptor, Lecomte du Nouy works ranged from a variety of subjects, including figural, classical and religious.

    • Jean-Jules-Antoine Lecomte du Nouy (French, 1842-1923)
      Feb. 23, 2021

      Jean-Jules-Antoine Lecomte du Nouy (French, 1842-1923)

      Est: $8,000 - $12,000

      Jean-Jules-Antoine Lecomte du Nouy (French, 1842-1923) Alexander the Great Before the Tomb of Achilles oil on canvas signed Jean du Nouy Pinxit (lower right) 75 5/8 x 44 inches. Note: This painting was possibly exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1912, no. 1097. It appears to be nearly identical to the painting titled Alexandre au tombeau d’Achille by Jean-Jules-Antoine Lecomte du Noüy exhibited at the 1912 Salon as illustrated in the Granger Historical Picture Archive. The only visible discrepancies between Lecomte du Noüy’s Salon painting and lot 119 appear on the figure of Achilles in the upper-right quadrant. In lot 119, Achilles’ face is more masculine in appearance, and his right hand grasping the sword is absent from the Salon painting, which, by contrast, presents a softer and more feminine rendition of the Greek hero, his cloak culminating in a high collar that is absent in lot 119. According to Roger Diederen’s catalogue raisonné of Lecomte du Noüy’s work, the painting’s original giltwood frame bore the carved inscription Honorer les héros engender des Héros/ Avant de combattre les Perses/ Alexandre sacrifie au tombeau d’Achille/ H.C.; we are unable to determine whether this lot’s period and stylistically correct giltwood frame is original, as it lacks a carved inscription but has been restored. It is possible that lot 119 is, in fact, the restored painting and frame exhibited by Lecomte du Noüy at the 1912 Paris Salon or a very fine period copy. The stamp to the canvas reading Hardy-Alan/ G. Vasseur Succ./ 72 Bould. Raspail 72/ Paris/ Fab. de Toiles & Couleurs Fines/ Ateliers à Vanves suggests at least that the painting was executed between 1910 and 1923, during which period G. Vasseur managed Hardy-Alan, a leading supplier of canvas and art supplies at 72 Boulevard Raspail in Paris.
