AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Hector Pron. Sézanne, 1817–1902 Troyes.
Wooded river landscape with staffage figures.
Oil on canvas.
Signed bottom right. Dimensions without frame: 32.3 x 24.5 cm
With frame: 50 x 41.8 cm
In a sumptuous, genuinely gilded frame of the era.
Hector Pron is regarded as an important representative of 19th-century French landscape painting, whose work is deeply rooted in the tradition of the Barbizon School. His oeuvre is characterized by a poetic treatment of light and the masterful capture of atmospheric moods of the Champagne region.
• The handwritten signature in the bottom right confirms the mastery of this composition; the finely graded lighting breaks through the dense canopy and immerses the image center in atmospheric chiaroscuro.
• Thematic context: The Arcadian river landscape constitutes a central motif in Pron's oeuvre, in which he celebrates the pristine nature as a place of contemplation and harmony between humans and the environment.
Biographical testimony: The work reflects Pron's lifelong connection to the rural landscapes of northeastern France, which, after his studies in Paris, served as an inexhaustible source of inspiration for his works exhibited at the Salon de Paris.
Condition: The painting is in good, authentic condition with fine craquelure typical for its age; the high-quality gold frame shows only minimal, insignificant scratches.
• Market exclusivity: Signed works by Prons in this delicate execution are sought-after cabinet pieces that, due to their rarity and the excellent framing, hold a special place on the international auction market.
Seller's Story
Art dealing has been in our family: my grandfather was an art dealer, and my mother is an antique dealer. In 2017, I continued this tradition and founded the Antoni Art Dealership—with the goal of making high-quality European art accessible to a new audience. Since then, we have passionately dedicated ourselves to trading paintings from the 19th century to the present. Our portfolio is complemented by our own gallery for contemporary art, where we present and promote current artistic positions.
Our expertise, cross-generational experience, and a carefully curated selection make us a special address for collectors, art lovers, and the curious.
