Germain Fabius Brest
A party at the house in the woods: Constant Troyon student Barbizon painting

About the Item

Born in Marseille in the South of France, Fabius Brest studied initially with Émile Loubon in Marseille and subsequently with the Constant Troyon in Paris. Brest travelled to Turkey from 1855 to 1859, from where he returned with numerous landscape paintings. Upon his return to France, he exhibited his works in Parisian salons for nearly twenty years. Many of his paintings feature a sky in deep blue, from which white clouds stand out. Brest also focused on scenes from daily in in his practise. Here, almost in miniature, we see a group of people - the bright colours of their dress standing out against the muted colours of the woodland - presumably enjoying a meal in plein air. In the foreground, a figure is wishing by the lake, in which we see the reflection of the sky. Works by Fabius Brest are preserved in numerous museum institutions, mainly French, such as the Museum of Fine Arts in Marseille, Nantes, and the Musée du quai Branly., but also Sheffield Museum, Lytes Cary Manor, a National Trust property, in the UK. The size of the canvas alone is 27 x 22 cm. It is presented in a gorgeous and lavish period frame.
