Oil On Canvas Man With A Golden Helmet By Arthur Midy After Rembrandt

This oil on canvas was made by Arthur Midy, it is a reproduction of "The Man with the Golden Helmet" which was long attributed to Rembrandt and disattributed in 1986. Arthur Midy was born in Saint Quentin en Yveline. From the age of twelve, his talents as a painter were encouraged by the city, which awarded him multiple prizes and awards, and financed his training at the Beaux-Arts. He also followed artistic training at the Académie Julian in Paris. He exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1897 to 1928. It was at the age of 28 that he discovered Le Faouët, and that he learned about genre scenes and landscapes, abandoning the historical or biblical subjects for which he was trained. From then on he would share his life between Paris and Le Faouët. This work was produced with great mastery and the technique is very interesting, however it is in poor condition. We report numerous rubbings on the painting, cracks and losses, you will note three important holes. Traces of wear and losses visible on our photos.
