ecole Française du XIXeme - tableau-horloge ( Provenance collection privée VHF )
\Artist: ecole Française du XIXeme
Technique: Oil on canvas\Signature: Not signed\Dimensions: 75_90_15_cm
Original clock-painting, characteristic of this type of works in vogue during the Restoration, circa 1820. (VHF private collection provenance) The canvas depicts a southern lake landscape in the middle of which sits a church, and opening on a background of mountains. The bell tower stands out in the upper part to reveal a watch dial that gives the time. The mechanism is mounted behind the canvas, and features a spring ring, reminiscent of the sound of church bells. Beautiful object of curiosity, whose quality of painting is much higher than the average quality of clock-paintings, with sometimes naïve representations. The winding key is included. Very nice gilded frame Early 19th century period Dimensions: 75 x 90
