Signed L.R. Watercolor Charming Children and Endearing Pets During the 19th century, patronage of the arts changed. There was a rising bourgeoisie and a greater international awareness of pictorial ideas. Genre triumphed! There was now a fascination with everyday scenes—in images of intimate and trivial domestic life, country experiences, and the working class. With the Industrial Revolution, a new, large segment of the population began accumulating great wealth. Immense fortunes were made and patrons were plentiful. Artists could choose a subject for the sheer purpose of pleasing the eye or amusing the viewer. Preferred subjects included cavaliers, beauties, military, adorable children, and charming animals. Gustave DeJonghe: a famous painter of elegant interior genre scenes concentrating on the upper middle class and often focusing on the lives of fashionable women. De Jonghe presented his sitters in elegant costumes, typically with a warm and welcoming disposition. Like Boldini, Sargent, and Tissot, he depicted elegant ladies at leisure or everyday life. *Greatly cherished was the idea of “home.” The gentle wife in the tranquility of beautiful surroundings, lounging with her endearing children and adorable pets, became an appealing subject. Beauty was heightened by dress and haute couture. This exciting Belle Epoque style is extremely appealing to today’s collector. Gustave de Jonghe Belgian, 1829-1893 Afternoon Repose 45 ½” x 37 ½” fr.

Sir Perceval, a knight of the Round Table, has taken an oath to assist people in distress. He has been stopped by a raven-haired temptress, who tries to seduce him with a table loaded with exotic meats, fruit, and wine. The artist depicts the exact instant in which Sir Perceval glances at his sword and is reminded of his knightly oath to King Arthur and God. *The painting is loaded with symbols: the boar’s head represents lust; the hyssop plant—a powerful purgative— is equated with penitence and humility; and the mouse represents the ability to overcome great odds. The Pre-Raphaelites were a group of Victorian British artists who worked in a meticulous style and drew on British history for subject matter.

Lhermitte worked both in oil and pastel, and his scenes of rural life are most beautiful when they are executed in pastel, capturing the scintillating interaction between light and atmosphere in the countryside. Jean François Raffaelli Although Raffaelli was trained in the French Academic tradition of Gérôme, the real influence on his style came from the light color and light-infused technique of the Impressionists, with whom he exhibited in several group shows.
