Пара антикварних картин «Вівці в хліві» Жюля Г. Багіє

A pair of incredible genre paintings belonging to the brush of the famous painter Jules Gustave Baguier. Jules Gustave Baguier (other variants of Baguier, Bayou, Bahieu) (French: Jules Gustave Bahieu, creative pseudonyms: Battiguant, Mazzella), (June 27, 1847, Dour Belgium - September 20, 1916, Champigny-sur-Marne) - Franco-Belgian artist, engraver, master of domestic scenes, animalist, landscape painter. The artist's style combines several areas of painting: naturalism, academicism and impressionism. The artist signed his works both with his own name and used several creative pseudonyms. The most common of these are 'Battiguant' and 'Mazzella', probably derived from the name of the printer Joseph-Alfred Mazzella, his wife's uncle. Bachier experimented with technical techniques in painting. He invented a unique technique for conveying the walls of rural buildings through the texture of colors. For the authenticity of the image of old, dilapidated, cracked and weathered mud brick walls, Bakhier first applied a thick layer of moistened paint to the canvas. Subsequently, the applied colorful layer dried unevenly. The desired effect was manifested as the canvas aged and a natural craquelure formed. The resulting fragile texture gave the desired effect. This creative method is represented on our canvases. The presented paintings are distinguished by an excellent composition and warm deep coloring and good preservation. The artist's works are presented in one of the best museums in the world - the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, as well as in numerous museums in continental Europe. Jules G. Baguier's works have been repeatedly exhibited at auctions with realized prices ranging from 109 to 4094 USD, depending on the size, technique and base. Since 2002, the record price of this artist at auction is 4094 USD for a painting depicting a sheep in a sheepfold, sold at Van Ham Fine Art Auctions in 2010.
