ANTIQUE PAINTINGS, LANDSCAPE PAINTINGS WITH RIVER AND BIRD, SMALL OIL ON PANEL, 19TH CENTURY (QP753)
The antique paintings and landscape paintings category presented here features a small oil painting on panel that captures, with intense
poetic sensitivity, a peaceful corner of nature, where light, color, and atmosphere blend in perfect harmony.
This is a refined example of French naturalistic landscape painting from the second half of the 19th century.
The scene depicts a river landscape, with a stream gently flowing among centuries-old trees, and a bird in flight, immersed in a warm,
atmospheric light typical of 19th-century Romantic painting.
Characterized by harmonious colors and soft brushstrokes, the artwork conveys a strong sense of tranquility and calm.
This 19th-century antique painting is signed lower left A. Gittard, a French landscape painter.
Alexandre Charles Joseph Gittard (1832–1904) was born in Paris and began exhibiting at the “Salon des Artistes Français” in 1863,
presenting landscapes in the French taste.
The artwork is an oil painting housed in an original antique gilded frame in fine gold leaf, contemporary with the painting.
Both the antique frame and the painting have been professionally and carefully restored.
Therefore, these Antique Paintings with River Landscape, dating to the late 19th century, small oil on panel, part of the
Bisgart Collection, can be viewed at our gallery, where many other works may also be admired.
