About the Item

Jean Eritziane Smyrna 1850 – 1925 Paris Armenian – French Painter 'Still Life with Flowers and Fruit on a Table' Signature: signed and dated lower right 'Eritziane 1921' Medium: oil on board Dimensions: image size 76,5 x 58,5 cm, frame size 90 x 75 cm Biography: Jean Eritziane, born Chnorq Eritziane in Smyrna (Asia Minor) in 1887, was a notable portrait painter whose artistic journey took him from the cultural crossroads of his birthplace to the vibrant art scenes of Moscow and Paris. His Armenian heritage endowed him with a unique perspective, while his European education refined his talents, enabling him to leave a lasting mark on the art world. Eritziane’s initial studies in Moscow laid a solid foundation for his artistic career. He later honed his skills at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he studied under the tutelage of masters such as Léon Bonnat and Fernand Cormon. Despite his early achievements, the outbreak of World War I in August 1914 dramatically altered the course of his life. A passionate patriot, Eritziane enlisted as a volunteer in the 2nd Foreign Service in 1914, leaving behind his studio and the promise of a burgeoning career. During the Marne campaign, he was twice injured, enduring a slow and arduous recovery that was marked by a determined spirit. Once his strength returned, Eritziane resumed painting, infusing his work with a renewed sense of purpose and a distinctive modern touch while drawing inspiration from the 18th century. Eritziane’s work during this period showcased his exceptional ability to capture the play of light and his commitment to rendering reflections with meticulous accuracy. His dedication to his craft earned him recognition, including the acquisition of his portrait of M. Martin, the inventor of the French machine gun, by the French State in 1916. Additionally, he painted the portrait of Felia Litvinne, a celebrated French-based dramatic soprano. In 1919, Eritziane’s resilience and artistic talent were further acknowledged when he appeared at the Exhibition of Mobilized Artists, highlighting his contributions during and after the war. He was particularly noted for his expertise as a pastelist and his still life compositions featuring fruit and flowers. Eritziane signed many of his works as Chnorq Eritziane, a nod to his Armenian roots, despite the name often being misunderstood as German by those less familiar with it. After his heroic service and subsequent recovery, he embraced the name Jean, a reflection of his integration into French society and his enduring love for his adopted homeland. Jean Eritziane’s life and work remain a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of art. His legacy, marked by his masterful portraits, still lifes, and courageous wartime service, continues to inspire and evoke admiration.

Located in Knokke, BE
White and Pink Peonies in Vase Charles Swyncop Brussels 1895 – 1970 Belgian Painter Signature: Signed top left Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: Image size 46 x 38 cm, frame size 64 x 56 cm Biography: Swyncop Charles was born in Brussels in 1895. Charles was a painter of landscapes, city views, seascapes, still lifes, flowers, children, genre scenes, figures (often Spanish beauties) and portraits. He was also illustrator and lithographer. Younger brother and pupil of Philippe Swyncop. He studied at the Academy of Brussels (1908-1917 and 1919-1920) with as teachers, J. Delville, H. Richir and Alfred Bastien. He also travelled to Rome and Venice. In Rome he studied iconography and the study of the great masters. Also found, like his brother, inspiration in Spain. Like his brother, he painted in a lighter genre. But, unlike his brother, he used subtle, spontaneous brushstrokes such as the French Fauvists. His colourful sea views are reminiscent of the works of Henri Matisse and André Derain. In 1920 Swyncop assisted his teacher Alfred Bastien with the panoramic painting “Panorama de l’Yser”. Other assistant painters were Charles Léonard and Jef Bonheur, also former pupils of Bastien. The work was done in what later became the mosque of the Cinquantenaire Park. From 1924 onwards, it was given a suitable panoramic building in Ostend. The canvas was severely damaged during the Second World War. Charles Swyncop took part in a group exhibition at ‘Maison d’Art Moderne’ in Brussels in 1920 together with Jean Colin, Philippe Swyncop, Arthur Navez, Samuel Milbauer, L. Bisschops, J. Payro and Jean-Jacques Gailliard. He received an honourable mention (third prize) on the Prize of Rome in 1920. In the years 1922-1923 he made study trips to Spain and Italy. There he made portraits of the local population. He regularly returned to Spain. Commissioned by the Ministry of Colonies, he painted decorative panels for the 1930 World Fair in Antwerp. Swyncop was a member of the group ‘La Lierre’ and took part in the annual exhibitions. Other members of ‘La Lierre’ included Alfred Bastien, Julius Brouwers, Louis Clesse, Henri De Clerck...
