19TH CENTURY EUROPEAN PAINTINGS AND SCULPTURE

20 September-31 October 2012
5-7 Dover St, London W1S 4LD
Alon Zakaim Fine Art is delighted to announce an exhibition of 19th Century
European Paintings and Sculpture, to be held at our Dover Street gallery. The show
will feature a collection of works by key artists of the period, exploring the range of
styles and depth of content employed during this century of rapid change, evolution
and progress, combined with the enduring influence of the Classical age.
The captivating coastal scene portrayed in Franz Richard Unterberger's
work Arnalfi, Golfo di Salerno forms a striking contrast to the monumental vista view
of Paris by Victor and Joseph Navlet. Two works by Jean-Lon Grme reveal the
delicate and emotive brushwork of this pivotal artist, one being a sketch for his
highly important work of the same title, Cloptre et Csar.
The contrasting representation of high society and working class life, subjects
explored in great depth during this era, reveal the dexterity and powers of
observation of artists of this period. Pierre Carrier-Belleuses large pastel
work, Jeune Femme Ajustant son Corset investigates the theme of a woman at her
toilette so masterfully explored by Degas; whilst paintings by Charles Soulacroix,
Vittorio Reggianini and Delphin Enjolras reveal the luxury of 19th century society. In
contrast to this, Thodore Grards Market Day and Petrus van Schendels Evening
Market employ tonal depth and strong lighting contrast to observe the lives of the
workers.
Demonstrating a wealth of variety including sculpture, portraiture and landscape,
the exhibition provides a broad overview of a period in which both classical and
social content played a key role.
19th Century European Paintings and Sculpture will run at Alon Zakaim Fine Art at 5-7
Dover Street, W1S 4LD from 20 September to 31 October 2012. Gallery opening
hours are 9am - 6pm, Monday - Friday, or by appointment.
