Est: $35,000 - $55,000
Charles Joseph Frederic Soulacroix (French, 1825-1879), An Officer and A Lady, oil on canvas, signed lower right. 30"h x 34"w (78 x 87 cm ) Provenance: Formally in a UK private collection. Condition: The canvas has been lined. Rubbing and abrasions to the framing edges. Inspection under UV reveals light scattered retouching throughout. The work appears to be in good condition commensurate with age. Best known for his scenes of wealthy 18th-century figures, Soulacroix was undoubtedly the most famous and talented painter of his genre. Born in France, he studied at the École de Beaux-Arts in Paris and shortly after began exhibiting at the Salon des Artistes Français, though he would eventually settle in Florence. He is celebrated for painting sumptuous upholstery and draperies with meticulous detail. In Soulacroix's elegant interiors, which are always decorated with silks, velvets, flowers and Directoire furniture garnished with ormolu, précieuses and élégantes meet for an afternoon tea, play games or discuss the latest gossip. His compositions harken back to the Directoire and Napoleon's rule, which preceded Soulacroix's day. Similar paintings by the artist were sold at Christie's New York, 1 Nov. 2017, lot 54; Christie's London, 12 June 2012, lot 38 and Sotheby's New York, 26 April 2006, lot 84.

Charles Joseph Frederic Soulacroix (1825-1879). Secret Confessions at Tea Time. Beautiful painting by Soulacroix. Three elegant ladies having tea. Medium: Oil on Canvas. Canvas Size: 35" X 27", frame size 48.75" x 40.75" x 4.5", frame front 7.5". Signature: SLR. The artist received his first training, after moving to Paris in 1845 and joining the Ecole des Beaux-Arts to study sculpture and painting. His training was in the neo-classical tradition. Although sculpture was his primary medium in the beginning that gradually changed and was abandoned for paintings, because in about 1850 he had problems with ophthalmia due to the dust from the marble artworks. Charles Joseph Fredrecick Soulacroix would go on to focus solely painting and became a French master. After studying at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, he exhibited in Paris at the Salon beginnning in 1849. Soulacroix had a particular interest in the elegance of Parisian high life. He was fascinated with depicting scenes of the upper class at leisure, dressed in lavish silks and satins. The artist created an image of social serenity. Soulacroix paid attention to every minute detail in his paintings. He managed to capture the intricate details of lustre, texture, and reflection in the textiles surrounding the sitter, and those found on the sitter's attire. His son, Frederic Soulacroix (1858-1933), would also become a well-known painter in his time.

PROPERTY FROM A NEW ENGLAND PRIVATE COLLECTION FRENCH, 1825-1879 THE CONCERT measurements 42 1/4 by 70 3/4 in. alternate measurements 107.3 by 179.7 cm signed F. Soulacroix Florence (lower right) oil on canvas PROVENANCE Kurt L. Schon, Ltd., New Orleans (in June 1992) Callan Fine Art, New Orleans Acquired from the above by the present owner on April 12, 2000 NOTE Soulacroix's The Concert portrays an audience of women wearing sumptuous silk dresses of the period and men in dashing cavalier costumes, all listening to a string trio. Though this scene may seem a flight of fancy to the present-day viewer, contemporary admirers considered it more or less an accurate portrayal of courtly life. Many bourgeois and upper-class patrons of Soulacroix's work believed that the heyday of European courts was the golden age of elegance--where a day could be spent gathered with friends gossiping, interrupted only by a private recital. Certainly Soulacroix's work is based in historical fact and court culture of the seventeenth centuries. Due to their great wealth and power, Europe's royalty often felt a responsibility to support the arts. While some kings and queens took their patronage more seriously than others, music was a universally important aspect of court life; the best palaces often hosted great composers, and changing royal tastes and trends prompted new developments in music theory. Outside of providing entertainment, a concert event provided an opportunity for state occasions or more intimate social interactions, where various (and often infighting or feuding) groups could gather together under cultural pretext. Indeed, as Soulacroix portrays in the present work, the interior design of the spaces that held concerts was as influential as the music played. Expensive and elaborate tapestries hung as illustrative backdrops for the musicians, while a large, oblong room, devoid of superfluous, potentially distracting furniture or decoration, held rows of seated and rapt listeners; this same decorative strategy translated to the great homes of Soulacroix's patrons. The music room was an important element of large houses of the late nineteenth century. Like the great picture galleries of the finest mansions, the music salon was a room removed from utilitarian necessity, thereby proclaiming the owner's wealth and cultural refinement. Often the ideal private concert space of the nineteenth century emulated that of earlier period's palatial design, with a high and coved ceiling to ensure a satisfactory sound with a varied décor that was neither too heavy or too fanciful (Arnold Lewis, James Turner and Steven McQuillin, The Opulent Interiors of the Gilded Age, New York, 1987, p. 36). Invited to gather in the music rooms of Paris, London, Boston or New York, Soulacroix's contemporaries could reenact the same personal pleasures of past royalty, enjoying a fine concert while demonstrating their support of the arts, refined taste, and sociability.

CHARLES-JOSEPH-FREDERIC SOULACROIX FRENCH 1825-1879 SOFT SATINS AND SILKS MEASUREMENTS 81 by 36 cm Oil on canvas Signed lower right PROVENANCE Louis Pisani's Picture Gallery, Florence (stencil on the reverse) Private collection, Melbourne Charles-Joseph-Frédéric Soulacroix was born in Montpellier on 6 July 1825. He studied in Paris at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts from 1845 ? both painting and sculpture ? and at the Dusseldorf Academy under the German genre painter Peter von Cornelias. He made his debut at the Paris Salon in 1849. Soulacroix achieved great success with figurative compositions in which the sumptuous textures of silk and satin fabrics, the delicacy of lace and the smooth finish of marble are as much his subject as the models themselves. He later lived in Rome and Florence; and for a time at Boulogne-sur-mer to paint frescoes for the local cathedral. Soulacroix did not exhibit frequently at the Salon, evidently preferring private sales and commissions. His work was very popular with American visitors to Europe and he is represented in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
