"Joseph Garibaldi (1863-1941) Couple Of Peasants In Front Of The Bastidon"
Very nice painting by the great specialist in bucolic life, the Marseille painter Joseph Garibaldi. The work in very good condition is an oil on canvas framed in a simple gilt frame which suits it well and which measures 39 cm by 31 cm and 33 cm by 24.5 without the frame. it is signed lower right and represents a couple in front of a farmhouse, certainly in Pernes les Fontaines where we can recognize a tower in the background. Joseph Garibaldi exhibited at the Salon des Artistes from 1884 to 1914 where he obtained an honorable mention in 1887 and a second class medal in 1897. These are mainly views of famous sites and monuments, of coastal ports: Cassis, where he painted regularly between 1884 and 1899, La Ciotat, where he was welcomed by Antoine Lumière, Bandol, Sanary and Toulon. But its specialty will remain the Old Port of Marseille. Until 1905, he benefited from the patronage of Baron Alphonse de Rothschild (1827-1905) who, guided by the critic Paul Leroy, very favorable to Vollon's students, bought his paintings and donated them to provincial museums. He exhibited his landscapes at the Colonial Exhibition in Marseille in 1906 and obtained a travel grant for Tunisia in 1907. He was supported for the rest of his career by his friends from the Association of Marseillais Artists (Étienne Martin, José Silbert and Édouard Crémieux), successively at the head of the association ...
