Paul Emmanuel Péraire, French 1829-1893- Un coup de vent; oil on canvas, signed (lower left), 55.5 x 90.2 cm. Provenance: Anon. sale, Bonhams, London, 22 Sept. 2015, lot 143.; Private Collection, UK. Note: Born in Bordeaux and having studied under Eugène Isabey and Évariste Vital Luminais, Péraire became a prominent landscape painter of the Barbizon school. He exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1866 to 1892 and received a bronze medal there for his painting 'The Seine at Saint-Dennis'. Several of his works are today held in the Louvre Museum and in the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Bordeaux. The present work, which depicts a violent storm and gale force winds in a rugged landscape with a lake and hills, very much evokes the influence of Corot and the other Barbizon masters.
