Évariste LUMINAIS (1821 -1896)
Est: €4,000 - €6,000
Évariste LUMINAIS (1821 -1896) Chasse à courre sous Charles IX, épisode de "La Reine Margot" d'Alexandre Dumas Huile sur toile, sur sa toile d'origine, signée en bas à gauche H. 52 cm L. 63 cm HVS Important cadre en bois et stuc doré de style Louis XV. Pendant une chasse à courre, à l'épieu, le roi Charles IX, n'ayant pu servir l'animal au ferme, tombe de cheval et se retrouve à la merci du sanglier; ce qui fait dire à Alençon, son jeune frère, " Je crois que le duc d'Anjou est roi de France et que moi, je suis roi de Pologne" . La scène se clôture par l'intervention d'Henri de Navarre qui sauve Charles IX, in extremis. "Charles était trop bon chasseur pour ne pas avoir prévu cette attaque. Il enleva son cheval, qui se cabra ; mais il avait mal mesuré la pression le cheval, trop serré par le mors ou peut-être même cédant à son épouvante, se renversa en arrière. Tous les spectateurs jetèrent un cri terrible : le cheval était tombé, et le roi avait la cuisse engagée sous lui. _ La main, Sire, rendez la main, dit Henri. Le roi lâcha la bride de son cheval, saisit la selle de la main gauche, essayant de tirer de la droite son couteau de chasse ; mais le couteau, pressé par le poids de son corps ne voulut pas sortir de sa gaine. _ Le sanglier ! le sanglier ! cria Charles. A moi d'Alençon ! à moi !" Alexandre Dumas, "La Reine Margot", volume I, Calmann-Levy, s.d., p. 359.

Evariste Vital Luminais (French Mural Painter : 1821-1896) "The Wreckers"
Est: $10,000 - $30,000
Enormous original, signed oil on canvas. This work was exhibited at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art from 1903-05 and was on loan, No. 553 in the 1905 Cataloged. 64 x 87. Luminais worked in the genre and historical modes. He was among the academic painters who satisfied a social demand for aggrandizing, even propagandistic historical works in the early years of the Third Republic, after the defeat in the Franco-Prussian War. As such, he shared in their condemnation by the advocates of modern art. Luminais was one of five artists who collaborated between 1886 and 1889 on a monumental fresco, more than 1,500 square meters (16,000 sq ft) in area, for the interior of the dome of the Paris Commercial Bourse, representing the history of intercontinental trade. It includes a scene representing America which features Indians, slaves, laborers, cowboys, and a steam train representing the modern world.

Gaspard Félix Tournachon, dit Nadar Paris, 1820 - 1910 Evariste Luminais (1822-1896) Fusain, estompe et rehauts de gouache blanche On y joint les portraits-charges d'Auguste Jean Baptiste Lechesne (1815-1888) et de Henri Nicolle (1819-1863), Panthéon Nadar 244. Ensemble de trois dessins Sans cadres h: 24 w: 15,50 cm Commentaire : Evariste Luminais Né à Nantes (Loire-Atlantique). Peintre. Elève de Léon Cogniet et de Troyon. Dès ses premiers Salons, il expose des scènes de genre et des sujets puisés dans la vie des pêcheurs et dans l'histoire de l'Ouest. Après 1848, il devint " le peintre des Gaules ". " Il montre un dynamisme à la Daumier, une force proche de celle de Carpeaux ; sa vision schématique, sa pâte généreuse, ses tons contrastés comme sculptés par l'ombre et la lumière accusent une audace rare. La véhémence de certaines scènes de chasse presque monochromes est celle d'un expressionniste avant la lettre… " In : 1820-1920, page 48 tome I. Auguste Jean Baptiste Lechesne Né à Caen. Sculpteur animalier. Il a réalisé de nombreux travaux dans des hôtels et constructions de particuliers. Il expose au Salon de Paris de 1848 à 1878. Obtient une deuxième médaille en 1848. Lechesne modèle ses sujets avec esprit et goût ; il leur donne tant de finesse et d'entrain que l'attrait de ses créations est presque irrésistible. Ce n'est pas le grand art, mais c'est la sculpture accessible à tous ; aimable et charmante. Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur en 1855. Sources : Vapereau, page 1085. Henri Nicolle Né à Paris. Journaliste et écrivain. " Dans ses contes invraisemblables, il y a deux histoires on ne peut plus saisissantes : celle de Surcoût et celle du Tueur de Mouches. Ce tueur de mouches est un homme fort distingué, disciple de Gall, qui s'étant reconnu avec effroi la bosse du meurtre, se dévoue aux fonctions de procureur du roi et fait ainsi tourner au profit de la justice ses instincts féroces, c'est saisissant et bien fait. " Monselet.
