Michel Bouquet (1807-1890, French)
About
French artist Michel Bouquet painted this wonderful oil on wood panel sunset painting circa 1870. It is in excellent condition and is signed lower left as well as with the artist's stamped signature verso. It is housed in its original gold gilt frame with normal wear. Overall measurements are 12.25 by 15 inches.
While Michel Bouquet’s paintings and prints may at first seem to fit neatly into the landscape traditions of the contemporary group of painters who gathered around the forest of Fontainebleau, his paintings differ significantly from them. Théodore Rousseau, Jules Dupré and Narcisse-Virgile de la Peña, for
example, focused on the timeless atmospheric effects of shifting clouds and flickering foliage. While Bouquet was equally adept at conveying the mood of the landscape, his subject matter is instead often narrative and nostalgic in nature.
