Item Overview

Description

30 x 23 cm. Verzameling van 88 werkjes (potloodtekeningen, aquarellen en litho's) van verschillende afmetingen, alle gemonteerd op blauw papier plus 1 los bijgevoegd, samen in origineel halflederen album met etiket op de kaft '89 Studiën door J.B. de Jonghe 1818-20'. "Album composé de 90 pièces, maintenant numérotées, dessinées au crayon & au lavis par le peintre J.-B. de Jonghe, de Courtrai. Trois d'entre-elles sont des esquisses peintes, et deux, des lithographies, dont l'une, le n° 84 est signalée comme étant la première oeuvre faite en ce genre par le maître flamand: "Dit is het aller eerste wat J.B. De Jonghe op steen geteekend heeft." Toutes ces pièces sont des études de paysages, d'arbres pour la plupart, représentés-là très-fidèlement, avec le caractère propre à chacune de leur essence. Ainsi, des troncs d'arbres sont crayonnés à part, simplement pour connaître de leurs rugosités particulières (n° 8, 9, 12 & 17). Une série de 7 dessins (21-27) donne l'image d'autant d'instruments de labour employés alors dans les Flandres, depuis la charrue jusqu'au balai, en y comprenant une cahutte tout-à-fait agreste. Enfin, de petites vues de Courtrai ou des environs (30, 38, 45-47, 58, 64, 65, 71 & 77), d'Audenaerde, Haerelbeke, d'Espières (62) ajoutent encore à l'intérêt de ce recueil, rassemblé certainement par De Jonghe même, un de ces artistes dont le talent, apprécié par chacun, n'a plus que faire des habiletés de la réclame."

Notes

J.B. De Jonghe, peintre de paysages, aquafortiste et lithographe, il étudia à Anvers, sous la direction de B.P. Ommeganck. Il obtint en 1812 le grand prix de paysages décerné par la société des Beaux-arts de Gand. Il fut nommé professeur de l'Académie de Courtrai l'année 1826. Paul Colin note que J.B. de Jonghe s'est efforcé de "briser le moule des conventions et de créer une esthétique de plein air". Ad. Siret assure qu'il dessinait admirablement les arbres et donnait à ses paysages la juste tonalité en rendant la nature avec autant de vérité que de bonheur, et il ajoute: "Son coloris est chaud et vigoureux, sa composition sage, ses différent plans fort bien compris, sa perspective savante, ses lointains parfaitement accentués. De Jonghe est un des pères du paysage moderne, et bien souvent il se montre supérieur à ceux qui lui ont succédé". Provenance: Carlo de Poortere
