💎ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Jean-Charles Georget (1833-1895)
Jean-Charles Georget was born in Paris on March 27, 1833. When he was orphaned at a very early age, he was entrusted to a guardian who didn't care too much about him so Georget's childhood was a miserable. He was sent to boarding school in Belleville, although he was not interested in studying, he like to draw and he loved the countryside.
He left school at about 18 years old and gained employment with renowned engraver, M. Caron, who kept him for seven years, for a salary of 25 francs per month. During this time, Georget became aware of his strengths which only deepened his desired to paint.
He took drawing classes at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts but he really wanted to paint and later trained himself by direct observation and personal study in the heart of nature.
By around the early 1860's, he became a prolific artist he had mixed with the artistic elite of Paris, yet felt out of place in their company and the café socialle. He preferred instead the peace and tranquility of Farcy Les Lys, a sister village of Barbizon, to the south of Paris and bordering Fontainebleau, where he favoured the light and the beauty of the forest and held a never ending fascination of the river Seine.
Georget was a great observer of the qualities of light and marveled at the intricacies of nature and the deer he stalked. As a painter, he wanted nothing more than to be himself. Neither money, fame nor success mattered to this simple unassuming man. Teaching, painting and his fascination for nature were his all prevailing passions.
He married Elisa Antoinette Sauterea in 1863, his student and a former pupil of Eugene Claude, she filled his life with joy. Though remaining childless, they adopted Juliet, their niece, following the death of her parents and whose career as a painter won many honours.
Georget changed to much larger compositions in 1873 on the advise of his peers and he began a new and critical phase in his career, introducing animals and figures into his works and exhibiting at the Paris Salon from 1875 onwards and so we can date this painting from around that time.
