Description from the seller
J. Suoquet is referenced as a French academic painter of the late 19th century, active approximately between 1870–1900, who appears to have specialized in romantic and folkloric scenes of Mediterranean subject matter. His work belongs to the academic romanticism of the period and follows the common practice of French painters who produced idealized depictions of “picturesque” locations, such as Greece and Italy, for the European bourgeois market.
He signed his works using Latin characters (often as “J. Suoquet”) and, although he is not counted among the major canonical artists of the period, he is considered a professional painter of his time, with a style consistent with the 19th-century academic tradition.
Style: Academic Romanticism with folkloric / ethnographic character
Period: Late 19th century (circa 1870–1900)
Movement: 19th-century French academic painting, oriented toward romantic and “picturesque” Mediterranean scenes
J. Suoquet belongs to the academic romanticism of the late 19th century (circa 1870–1900), characterized by a narrative and ethnographic approach, typical of French academic painting that depicted idealized Mediterranean scenes for the European bourgeois audience.
A magnificent, unique classical work of art from the mid-19th century, of large dimensions:
Artwork dimensions: 102 × 139 cm
Overall dimensions (including frame): 123 × 159 cm
A beautiful classical painting with exquisite detail, by a French painter named
