Louise VILLEVIEILLE (19th–20th centuries)
Louise VILLEVIEILLE (19th–20th centuries) Flowers Watercolor on paper Signed “Louise Villevieille” lower right 77.5 x 55.5 cm Framed DESCRIPTION We have not found any information about this artist, whom we nevertheless consider talented. Could she be the daughter, niece, or granddaughter of Joseph Villevieille, the famous painter from Aix-en-Provence who was active in the second half of the 19th century? This is plausible. This artist, a close friend of Paul Cézanne, frequented François-Marius Granet’s studio in his youth, then studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris under great masters such as Jean-Auguste Dominique Ingres, Horace Vernet, and James Pradier. Recognized during her lifetime and a professor emerita at the school in Aix-en-Provence, she painted still lifes, landscapes, and portraits. Our painter, Louise Villevieille, is undoubtedly among the non-exhaustive list of female painters forgotten by art history.
