Delpy - Large 19th Century Oil On Canvas - Sailboats At Sea

Pupil of Charles-François DAUBIGNY from 1855, the pictorial style of DELPY will be strongly influenced by the master of the Barbizon school.

The work we are selling is a seascape, a theme rarely painted by DELPY and highly sought after by collectors.

Painted in Holland, this impressionist-style composition features sailboats at sea, windmills in the background.

It would be the painting "Environs de Dordrecht" sold on May 26, 1884 under the number 44 during a sale of paintings by DELPY (the subject and the dimensions correspond perfectly).

DELPY travels regularly with the DAUBIGNY family during his apprenticeship, meets COROT who encourages him. From 1870, he worked mainly in La Ville D'Avray and Auvers-sur-Oise. He befriends Camille PISSARRO and Paul CÉZANNE. He exhibited at the Salon on numerous occasions, receiving several awards. In 1889, he received an honorable mention at the Universal Exhibition. The Parisian gallery owner Georges PETIT organizes several individual exhibitions for him.

His works are present in museums all over the world: Phoenix art museum, Louviers museum, Béziers museum...

He obviously benefits from important quotations, up to 30,000 euros in public sales, regularly between 10,000 and 15 000 euros for his best subjects.

DELPY seascapes are very rarely found on the art market, this is an opportunity not to be missed !!

WARNING: There are a very large number of fake DELPYs on the market, both signatures added to 19th century landscapes and works by his son Henry-Jacques sold as being by his hand!!
