#MonochromeMonday :

Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps (French, 1803-60)

The Rat Who Withdrew from the World, c.1847

Charcoal w/ stumping & white opaque watercolor on wove paper

on view at Philadelphia Museum of Art

“This drawing illustrates a fable about a rat who chooses to retire from the troubles of the world, taking up residence in a ball of cheese. Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps draws the moment in the tale when deputies of ‘Ratopolis’ visit the recluse in hopes of receiving his assistance in their ‘warfare against the cat.’

Decamps's choice of subject may have been prompted by his own growing sense of disillusionment with the French art establishment. His potential sympathy with a reclusive rodent offers an alternative, if surprising avatar for a French artist of the 1800s.”

The Monastery of Vallombrosa and the Arno Valley Seen from Paradisino, c. 1797

Louis Gauffier 

Gauffier was a French artist who settled in Rome, but popular unrest following the execution of Louis XVI led him to flee with his wife to Florence. He could not receive patronage from France because he was branded a royalist, and this curtailed his career as a history painter. When Napoleon marched his troops into Italy in 1796 and occupied Florence in 1799, Gauffier painted officers’ portraits. He painted very beautiful landscape scenes of Napoleonic Italy, such as this painting.

#TwoForTuesday + #TilesOnTuesday:

Joseph-Théodore Deck (French, 1823-1891)

Tile Plaques, c.1880

Earthenware with underglaze & overglaze enamel decoration

Each tile: 10 x 10 in (25.4 x 25.4 cm)

Each panel: 40 x 20 in (101.6 x 50.8 cm)

On view at Philadelphia Museum of Art

The vibrant turquoise blue in these works was one of the signature glazes developed by ceramist Joseph-Théodore Deck, who was inspired by Turkish ceramics. The turquoise came to be so closely identified with the artist that it came to be known in the late 1800s as ‘Deck blue.’”

Thought to be an anonymous copy of Vermeer’s “The Guitar Player,” this mysterious oil painting might actually be an original work by the artist.
