  • P A Senegat, French, act. 1715- Six various
    Jun. 08, 2010

    P A Senegat, French, act. 1715- Six various

    Est: £10,000 - £15,000

    P A Senegat, French, act. 1715- Six various Chinese scenes, a dining courtesan surrounded by musicians and attendants; ceremonial tea scene; figures gathering fruit; a family at dinner; a gambling and gaming scene; men gathered reading; pen and brown ink, blue and grey ink wash on buff laid paper, each signed and dated 1715, in matching carved and pierced gilt frames in the 18th century Chippendale style- with carved and pierced gallery sight-edge and reeded ovolo, 42x53cm,ea., Note: P A Senegat, a seemingly obscure artist working in the very fashionable Chinese style chinioserie and presumably having contact with some of the most influential French artists of the 17th and 18th centuries. In France, Louis XV (1710-1774) began to use the "new style" of chinoiserie as it blended well with the already established rococo. Entire rooms, such as those at Chantilly, where painted with compositions in chinoiserie, Jean-Antoine Watteau and other artists rendered whimsical figures depicted in poetic landscapes in the Chinese style. Thomas Chippendale, cabinet maker, produced a unique and decorative type of chinoiserie furniture, and remains England's top exponent of the style. Louis XIV had built the Trianon de Porcelaine in the park at Versailles ( 1670 - 1 ), become the prototype for Chinese pagodas and pavilions across 17th and 18th century Europe. Jean-Antoine Watteau also painted a series of figures (c.1709) "chinoises et tartares" for the Cabinet du Roi at the ChÔteau de La Muette, (now known only through engravings) and further developed by the chinoiseries of Christophe Huet, while a more original and stylised approach was shown in the chinoiserie of francois Boucher, in his tapestry designs (the tentures chinoises woven at Beauvais) and his settings for Noverre's ballet "Les FÛtes chinoises" and also paintings such as The Chinese Fishing Party and The Chinese Fair (both 1742 ; Besancon, Mus. des Beaux-Arts). In England chinoiserie was employed more in porcelain, furniture, decoration, and architecture than in paintings and drawings. collimating with William Chambers's Designs of Chinese Buildings, Furniture etc, publ.1757; and the Brighton Pavilion designed by John Nash for the Prince Regent. Provenance: Patrick G Perrin, Paris, with accompanying letter.

  • A SENEGAT (1715) Both in fine condition in modern
    Sep. 25, 2009

    A SENEGAT (1715) Both in fine condition in modern

    Est: £2,000 - £3,000

    A SENEGAT (1715) Both in fine condition in modern frames A SPECTACLE IN TARTARY; TARTAR CRUELTY two, both signed, one dated, pen, bistre ink and sepia wash on laid paper, 40.5 x 55.5cm and 40.5 x 54.5cm (2)" Senegat seems only to have been noticed by both Benezit and Thieme-Becker on account of the survival of eleven 'Scenes from the Life of Joseph' in the Kunsthaus, Zurich. These too are executed in predominantly sepia and are also dated 1715 or 1716. Apart from the existence of these, and his presumed French origin, it is somewhat surprising that little else is recorded of the artist. This may be explained in part by the view that they, and these present drawings, may have been intended for engraving."
