From Artprice.com: Jacques WELY (1873-1910) is an artist born in c. 1873 The oldest auction result ever registered on the website for an artwork by this artist is a drawing-watercolor sold in 1991, at Christie's, and the most recent auction result is a drawing-watercolor sold in 2019. From LeightonFineArt.com: From 1908, Wely was active in Montfort-l'Amaury (Yvelines). He illustrated Breton Souls ( mes bretonnes) by Camille Mauclair. Jacques Wely (1873-1910) was a French painter known for his Impressionist and Post-Impressionist style. He was born in Paris and began his artistic studies at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, where he studied under the painter Fernand Cormon. Wely's early work was heavily influenced by Impressionism, with its focus on the play of light and color. He was particularly interested in painting landscapes, seascapes, and cityscapes, often featuring his hometown of Paris as the subject. In the early 1900s, Wely began to experiment with a more Post-Impressionist style, incorporating more abstract forms and brighter colors into his paintings. His work was well-received by critics and collectors alike, and he exhibited his paintings at several prominent galleries and salons in Paris. Unfortunately, Wely's career was cut short when he died suddenly in 1910 at the age of just 37. Despite his brief career, he left behind a rich legacy of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings that continue to be admired today.

Original French Operetta Poster Les Demoiselles des St. Cyriens by Jacques Wely 1898
Est: $800 - $1,200
A classic tale of young love is on display in this poster created by Jacques Wely in 1898 for the Operetta, "Les Demoiselles des St. Cyriens". A fashionable young woman disrupts her game of badminton when she notices a young militiaman staring at her beyond the garden wall. We catch them mid-glance, suspended in intrigue. Saint Cyr le E'cole is a suburb of Paris that was home to the training school for officers of the French Army until WWII. This operetta was shown at the Theatre Cluny in Paris in 1898, and featured music by Louis Varney. Varney was known for his arrangements for the opera, and was actually born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. The artist is Jacques Wely (1873 - 1910), who created some posters but was mainly known for his paintings and drawings of everyday modern Parisian life. This is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction. This poster is conservation mounted, linen backed, and in excellent condition. We guarantee the authenticity of all of our posters.

ARTIST: JACQUES WELY (ca. 1875-1910) SIZE: 15 3/4 x 22 1/4 imn./40.3 x 56.5 cm PRINTER: Imp. F. Champenois, Paris DESCRIPTION: One of Cappiello's most famous posters is for Pellisson Cognac: a ludicrous caricature of a tiny sprite hauling an enormous cask of the liqueur (PAI-LXXIII, 225). This is not that: and how refreshing it is, by comparison! A thoroughly naturalistic scene in a bistro, where a handsome gentleman has captivated the interest of two lovely young women over a glass of Pellisson. Wely's attention to cinematic precision, in the gestural tableau, is itself charming amid the welter of brash, over-the-top characters beginning to boom out from advertising of the period. No doubt this was intended for in-store rather than outdoor viewing, accounting for the more detailed and subtle presentation. (Alcohol)
