<\/p>\n
Henri Fran\u00e7ois Perret's beautiful painting La P\u00eache \u00e0 l'\u00e9crevisse (Crayfish Fishing) is at the crossroads of Romanticism and Impressionism, with the influence of his master, Daubigny, particularly evident in the trees.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Our painting depicts one of those rare days of the year when crayfish fishing was open to all.<\/p>\n
In the 18th and 19th centuries, crayfish was the guest of honor at every bourgeois table.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As fishing rights were highly regulated, they were introduced on 25 Fructidor of the Republican calendar, a crayfish day, and it's this particular day that Henri Fran\u00e7ois Perret tells us about in this magnificent painting.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We are presenting this painting, Barbizon School, signed in the lower right-hand corner, in good original condition, set in a beautiful carved and gilded wood and stucco frame. Minor restorations on the back.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sizes unframed: H 25.39 In. - W 21.25 In.<\/p>\n Sizes framed: \u00a0 \u00a0 H 33.46 In. - W 29.52 In.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Henri Fran\u00e7ois Perret: 1825 -<\/b> 1825 –\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n French painter Henri Fran\u00e7ois Perret studied with the painter Daubigny.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n He lived in Auvers sur Oise from 1847 to 1870.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n He excelled in landscapes of Normandy, Ile-de-France and Limousin.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Henri Fran\u00e7ois Perret La p\u00eache \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9crevisse huile sur toile vers 1860 Henri Fran\u00e7ois Perret nous propose un beau tableau \u00e0 la crois\u00e9e des chemins du courant romantique et de l\u2019impressionnisme, La P\u00eache \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9crevisse, dans lequel l\u2019influence de son ma\u00eetre, Daubigny, est pr\u00e9sente surtout dans la r\u00e9alisation des arbres.
