AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Sublime scene of a shipwreck dated 1874, depicting a sailing vessel adrift in a raging sea, men rushing to help the crew, some having fallen into the water.
Romantic theme par excellence, popularized by painters such as Eugène ISABEY or Théodore GUDIN, the style and technique obviously reminded us of Jules NOËL when this painting was acquired eight years ago (kept since in our private collection).
We had, moreover, found a composition a few years ago that was identical in every respect, naïvely painted where it was inscribed "d’après Jules NOËL" which suggested that the original had been painted by the latter.
The painting appears to be monogrammed "J.D" and will therefore be sold as "French school 19th century".
