Description: Item Description: Jean Alexis Achard (France 1807 - 1884) Oil painting on canvas mounted to masonite, stormy Seascape of frigate in rough seas, Signed lower right "Achard". In velvet lined wood frame. With copy of older appraisal documents. 10lb (we have a companion piece to this painting of the same size and subject matter.) Born in Voreppe, Isère, into a farming family, Jean Alexis Achard was self-taught and started his career as a clerk for a lawyer. He began his apprenticeship by copying paintings at the Museum of Grenoble. He then attended the free municipal school of Grenoble, and met the Lyon school painters who gave him his first tutelage. Isidore Dagnan was his teacher from 1824 to 1830. At 27, he moved to Paris and copied the Dutch masters at the Louvre. He made an expedition organized by the St. Simonians and thus lived in Egypt between 1835 and 1837 with his friend Victor Sappey. He bought landscapes and genre scenes when he came back to France. Thus, he exhibited at the Salon (Paris) in 1838, Vue prise aux environs du Caire, and then regularly thereafter, as in 1843 with Vue de la vallée de Grenoble. In 1846, he attended the Barbizon School and became friends with the painters Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Théodore Rousseau, Charles-François Daubigny and Narcisse Virgilio Díaz, on whom he had a certain influence and who taught him to paint in the pattern of the Paris region. He also stayed in Auvers-sur-Oise for a while. Approx. Measurements: Painting 37 x 26 inches; frame 38.5 x 27.5 inches Condition: Painting in great condition, restorations and rebacked. Frame has wear to velvet lining.
