ATTRIBUÉ À HIPPOLYTE BERTEAUX (Saint Quentin, 1843 Paris, 1928)
PORTRAITS D'ORIENTAUX Suite de six dessins dans un même cadre
Fusain et crayon 24,5 x 37 cm (à vue)
Son of a sculptor, Hippolyte Berteaux was born in
Saint-Quentin in 1843. He studied painting with renowned masters such as Flandrin, Galland, Baudry, Lequien and Cogniet. At the age of 21, for his first Salon exhibition in 1864, he proposed genre and historical scenes and portraits. He continued to send regular entries to the
Salon, even from Istanbul where he settled in 1872 and where he developed an orientalist painting (Fountain in Constantinople, Salon of 1876,
Universal Exhibition of 1878). The series of small drawings we present probably dates from this period.
Berteaux made himself famous with the realization of large decorations, in France and abroad. Let us mention the ceilings of the Graslin theatre in Nantes and the Senate staircase, the vestibule of the Fine Arts Museum in Nantes and the frescoes of the Château de Chenonceau; he was also the author of many decorations for Parisian private mansions.
