Charles Wittmann
Post Impressionist oil painting of a street scene in Toul, France

About the Item

Charles Wittmann (French, 1876 – 1953) Le Vieux Toul Oil on canvas Signed ‘CH. WITTMANN’ (lower left) 25.3/4 x 21.1/4 in. (65.5 x 54 cm.) Recently reframed in a gilt composite frame with floral and foliate effects with canvas slip. The frame has been hand finished. Son of Ernest Wittmann, painter and sculptor, Charles Wittmann joined the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1894. There he followed the teachings of Eugène Carrière and Gustave Moreau. Living in Paris for 18 years, he made the Parisian street one of his favorite subjects and declined, from the end of the 19th century to 1914, the lively scenes and the effervescence of the boulevards, squares, markets or festivals of the capital, with architecture reinvented under the Second Empire by Baron Haussman.

British 20th Century oil painting of The palace at Fontainebleau, paris, France
By Walter Taylor
Located in Petworth, West Sussex
