AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This beautiful and vibrant 19th century watercolor is an hommage by Paul de Longpré to the Alps, as it features a rich variety of Alpine flowers from various seasons.
Paul de Longpre, born in 1855 in Lyon, began painting at 12 years of age, and proudly boasted his first painting in a Paris Salon in 1876. He left France, going to New York in 1890 to do commissions. His successes resulted in the first flower-painting exhibit in New York in 1896. His paintings (most in watercolor) continued to gain in popularity, and he took his newfound wealth to go to Los Angeles where he could paint flowers year-round. He and his wife Josephine became a key part of the social scene in Hollywood, with their famed garden becoming one of Hollywoods landmarks. His works remain cherished by collectors and very sought-after until this day.
The measurements are: without frame ca 44 by 31,75 cm with frame ca 63,5 cm by 50cm
Provenance: Private collection USA
Please note: it's very difficult to photograph due to the reflections of the glass. It is much more beautiful in reality
