Alfred De Dreux (Parigi 1810 - Parigi 1860) - The Return of the Duchess of Almeda from a Trip to Koat-Ven, 18th Century

拍品描述

Oil painting on canvas Alfred de Dreux is one of the first Romantic painters of the eighteenth century. Born into a family of artists, his father was an architect who won the Grand Prix de Rome in 1815, prompting the entire family to move to Rome, where they could admire the ancient ruins. He met Théodore Géricault, one of his first teachers, and exhibited numerous times at the French National Salon in Paris. His work is characterized by noble portraits and equestrian portraits, including that of the Duke of Orleans, son of Louis-Philippe of France. Signed lower right, signature faded and barely legible.
