Jules Hintz - The Entrance To The Port Of Jersey

Jules HINTZ Hamburg, 1813 – Paris, 1861 Oil on wooden panel 28 x 41 cm (45.5 x 60 cm with the frame) Signed lower left “J. Hintz” Titled on the back “Entrance to the port of Gersay Manche” 19th century gilded wood frame Jules Hintz was a German painter who settled in Paris after studying in Hamburg with Siegfried Bendixen. Hintz exhibited at the Salon from 1848. He was a student in the studio of Eugène Isabey. He specializes in views of the French coasts. We find in his paintings a finesse and a meticulous taste for details which recall the realistic German painting of the Romantic era. And a sense of subject matter that recalls Isabey's school. Hintz exhibited an “Entrance to the Port of the Island of Mellum in Jersey” at the Paris Salon of 1850 at the Palais National, among eight small paintings he exhibited that year.
