About the Item

Pierre Etienne LESUEUR (Active between 1791 and 1810) Oil on panel 27 x 38.5 cm (42 x 53 cm with the frame) Signed and dated lower right "E. LESUEUR / 1790" Very beautiful early 19th century wooden frame sculpted and gilded Very good condition Active in Paris Pierre Etienne Lesueur is presented as a landscape painter who studied with Jean Pillement. He exhibited at the Salon des Beaux-Arts in Paris between 1791 and 1810. Our painting is dated 1790. In 1791, he exhibited at the Salon several small landscapes with figures as well as a "Landscape with a waterfall e Toni", a " Vue des temples de Pestum" and a "Moonlight reflected in a pimp with furious bacchantes holding a torch" In 1791, he sold his collection of paintings in Paris and announced that he wanted to travel to go for landscape painting. Poussin, the great masters and Claude Gelée among his paintigs sold show his influence from the French and Italian masters, which we can clearly see in our landscape. Pierre Etienne Lesueur has been often confused with a painter who worked during the French Revolution and whose revolutionary gouaches can still be found today in the school textbooks in france ! It is in fact Jean-Baptiste Lesueur, a painter who held municipal occupation during the French Revolution, and whom the Almanac of the Year XII describes as "a painter of historical genre figures and decorations", thus a painter of pictures in an artisanal style.
