Monticelli counts among his admirers Oscar Wilde

Monticelli also painted side by side with Cezanne,
and his infuence can be seen in Cezanne’s works
of the 1860s. Monticelli was a student of Delaroche
at the École des Beaux-Arts and his oeuvres include
numerous courtly subjects inspired by Watteau, still
lives, portraits and Orientalist subjects in the tradition
of Delacroix.

Horace de Callias was a pupil of Alexandre Cabanel. Like his master, his œuvre includes both fgures from
Parisian high society and classical subjects. In the present work Callias combines the wealth he depicted in
portraits of his Belle Epoque sitters, with his interest in retelling classical myths. His classical compositions include
Theseus and Ariadne, the Capture of the Golden Fleece and a large scale work depicting Diana the Huntress.
The present lot was probably sold as “Golden Rain” in Paris, 1888, FRF 850.

Russian-born André Ratoucheff followed in his parent’s footsteps onto the stage.
Small of stature, he was principally known as an actor with a travelling troupe of
little people, performing in Italy, Greece and Egypt before settling in Paris, where
he learnt to paint. In the early 1940’s Ratoucheff moved to America with his
touring group, but he still exhibited his paintings annually in the French capital.
An article written during his stay in America reported, “His real avocation... is
painting in oils. He studied for a number of years in France and now, he says, is
reasonably competent – ‘just enough for a little man’” (The New Yorker, New
York, 16 January 1943 p.11).

Joseph Bail was a pupil of Jean Léon Gêrome and Carolus-Durand. As his career
progressed, so did his confdence in his character portrayals. The present work
is likely to have been infuenced by Bail’s summer excursions to the countryside
outside Fontainebleau, perhaps it even recalls a moment the artist himself
stumbled upon in the woodland. Bail regularly submitted to the Salons and
towards the end of his careers was ‘hors concours’, or exempt from having to
submit his works for jury approval. Bail received many awards during his lifetime
and won a gold medal in the 1900 Exposition Universelle Chevalier, the same year
that he was named a Legion d’ Honneur.

In 1855 he moved to Florence, from where his work travelled throughout
Europe and the United States. Reggianini’s subject matter and style of painting
acclimatised to the new tastes of his international arena. Like Frédric Soulacroix,
Reggianini depicted extremely elegant fgures in luxurious environs. In the present

Benito Rebolledo Correa was interested in art from a young age; he studied painting, sculpture and drawing
at the night school during his teenage years. At ffteen he moved to Santiago where he lived with a group of
artists. Correa devoted his life to his two passions: boxing and painting. Breaking away from the artistic tradition
before him, his large canvas hints towards the concerns of the dawning impressionist movement. Just as he
uses a sense of boldness and urgency in the boxing ring; so too on this large canvas we see him using urgent
yet dexterous brushstrokes and a boldness in his use of colour.

Eugene de Blaas was born into a family of accomplished artists. His father Karl von
Blaas, a portrait, history and fresco painter as well as a sculptor, was a professor
at the Vienna Academy of Fine Art followed by the Venice Academy of Fine Art.
Eugene’s brother Julius was a painter of battle scenes and animals as well as
an established watercolorist, who later on became a professor at the Academy
in Rome. The family, originally from Austria, relocated initially to Rome, where
Eugene and Julius were born, followed by Venice due to Karl’s posting at the
Academy. Eugene then attended the Academy in Rome, where he later became
a professor, followed by the Academy in Venice. His art was well received in
England, allowing him to exhibit consistently at the Royal Academy, the Grafton
Gallery and the New Gallery between 1875 and 1892.
