Henri FANTIN-LATOUR (1805-1875) Interview between Marie de Médicis and her son Oil on canvas Signed lower right 35 x 22 cm Framed Condition report available on request: [email protected] We would like to thank Thomas LORENCEAU for his kind collaboration. A certificate, currently being drafted, will be given to the buyer. NOTICE Originally from Grenoble, he entered the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1854, where he met Edgar Degas, Alphonse Legros and Jean-Charles Cazin. He briefly attended Gustave Courbet's studio and painted many self-portraits in chalk, charcoal and oil. A member of the "1863" group and later the Cénacle des Batignolles, he tried his hand at still life painting, encouraged by Whistler. In England, he found many enthusiasts for his flower and fruit compositions, which he exhibited several times at the Royal Academy. In France, he exhibited with his friends Manet, Renoir and Monet; Fantin revitalized the collective portrait with his great manifesto "Hommage à Delacroix", followed by "Un atelier aux Batignolles". In the final years of his career, paving the way for Symbolist artists, he produced numerous fantastical paintings with dreamlike visions, as well as subjects with medieval reminiscences, such as the work we present here. The subjects of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance were revived by the Romantic painters and poets of the 19th century; a source of fascination, this bygone era exalted the imagination of the painter's contemporaries.

Joseph SIMA (1891-1971) Composition, 1933 Mixed media (oil, tempera and charcoal) on canvas Signed "Sima" and dated lower right 60 x 66 cm Framed Condition report available on request: [email protected] PROVENANCE Painter's entourage; private collection, Prague NOTICE A French painter of Czech origin, he was a member of the Devětsil group, which he joined in Prague in 1920. Upon moving to Paris in 1921, he befriended painters Albert Gleizes, Amédée Ozenfant, Max Ernst and designer Pierre Jeanneret. He is one of the founders of the "Grand Jeu" group, which includes Roger Gilbert-Lecomte, René Daumal and Roger Vailland. Although this surrealist group refused André Breton's tutelage, Joseph Sima nevertheless maintained a friendly and artistic relationship with him. Closely linked to the Prague poetic avant-garde, he founded the Surrealists of Czechoslovakia in 1934. Sudden illumination would enable us to see the world in its original dimension. This conception of art, specific to the Grand Jeu group, blends with his childhood inspirations. He shares his feelings about landscapes, his painting gradually evolving towards a dreamlike, more colorful universe, with space and light taking center stage. Our work bears witness to this sensitivity: the delicacy of the watercolor and the finesse of the line exalt the viewer's imagination.
