Louise VILLEVIEILLE (19th–20th centuries) - Lot 42
Louise VILLEVIEILLE (19th–20th centuries) Flowers Watercolor on paper Signed "Louise Villevieille" lower right 77.5 x 55.5 cm Framed DESCRIPTION We have found no information about this artist, whom we nevertheless consider talented. Could she be the daughter, niece, or granddaughter of Joseph Villevieille, the famous painter from Aix-en-Provence active in the second half of the 19th century? This is plausible. This artist, a close friend of Paul Cézanne, frequented François-Marius Granet’s studio in his youth, then studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris under great masters such as Jean-Auguste Dominique Ingres, Horace Vernet, and James Pradier. Recognized during his lifetime and a professor emeritus at the school in Aix-en-Provence, he created still lifes, landscapes, and portraits. Our artist, Louise Villevieille, is undoubtedly part of the non-exhaustive list of female painters forgotten by art history.
