Description

French 1854 -1913-
Landscape;
oil on panel, 15 x 14.5cm
Provenance: Jacques Wiezawer, Paris according to the stamp on the reverse of the panel
Note: This work will be included in the Gaston La Touche catalogue raisonné being prepared by Selina Baring Maclennan.
This work is by the 19th-century French artist Gaston La Touche. This painting was clearly heavily influenced by the Impressionist movement which was developing around La Touche, alongside earlier, 18th-century French artists such as Jean-Antoine Watteau and Franҫois Boucher.
This influence is evident in La Touches use of small, energetic brushstrokes to apply sharply contrasting tones of paint, creating a powerful evocation of the play of sunlight in a landscape. This outdoor scene also recalls the pastoral settings of the fêtes galantes depicted by Watteau and Boucher, which La Touche himself interpreted to popular acclaim.
La Touche was a member of the Societe National des Beaux Arts and the Societaire des Artistes Francais, and was awarded the Legion dhonneur in 1900.
His works are in prestigious collections around the world, such as the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, the Art Institute in Chicago, and the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney.
