Born in Paris in 1858, Joseph‑Ferdinand Gueldry belongs to that generation of artists who knew how to seize the momentum of a world in full transformation. A pupil of Jean‑Léon Gérôme at the École des Beaux‑Arts, he exhibited as early as 1878 at the Salon and quickly established himself as one of the great pictorial witnesses of the Belle Époque. A sports enthusiast, cofounder of the Société nautique de la Marne, Gueldry finds in rowing a favored subject: regattas, canotiers, vibrant reflections of the Marne or the Thames compose a luminous, dynamic and deeply modern work.
From the 1880s, his gaze widens: Gueldry explores factory interiors, metallurgical workshops, the North’s spinning mills, or the blast furnaces of Creux-?ot. These industrial scenes, treated with precise naturalism, today constitute precious testimonies of the Second Industrial Revolution. He also tackles military, marine or pastoral subjects, revealing a versatile palette and a solid mastery of composition.
Rewarded several times — medal at the Salon, silver medal at the 1889 Exposition Universelle, then Knight of the Legion of Honour in 1908 — Gueldry benefited from the interest of critics of his time. Joris‑Karl Huysmans even praised his independence of mind and his fidelity to natureWikipedia+1.
Today, Gueldry’s work captivates with its energy, its documentary precision and its deeply French charm. His nautical scenes, sought after by collectors, embody the sporty elegance of the Belle Époque, while his industrial views offer a rare historical dimension. A complete artist, sensitive and rigorous, Gueldry occupies a singular place in French painting of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
