Jean Louis Prévost Sold at Auction Prices

Flower painter, Landscape painter

Born in the latter part of the 18th century, French artist Jean Louis Prevost has remained among the prominent still life painters since his well-received exhibits at the Academie Royale and the Academy of Saint-Luc. Prevost was associated with Gerard van Spaendonck, a Dutch botanical painter of the same era whose influence can be seen in  Jean Louis Prevost's paintings of plants and flowers. Working mostly with watercolor and oil, Prevost painted with so much detail that his work has often been featured in botanical books circulating in the scientific community.

Some of Prevost's most famous pieces are contained in his Collection des Fleurs et des Fruits, published in 1805. The series of 48 plates featuring flowers and fruit is among the highest valued Jean Louis Prevost paintings and prints, and it was Prevost's hope that the collection would eventually inspire fabric and china patterns. Buyers interested in memorable still life paintings for sale online can find exactly what they're looking for at Invaluable.

        Prevost Watercolor of Reindeer, Moose and Fallow Deer

        Est: $10,000 - $15,000

        PREVOST, Jean Louis (French, circa 1760-1810). Reindeer, Moose and Fallow Deer. Watercolor on paper. Signed lower right: "Prevost". 6 1/2" x 4" sheet,13 1/2" x 16 1/4" framed. Provenance: Marcel Jeanson, 10 June 2000, lot 211. George Louis LeClerq, Le Comte de Buffon (1707-1788), was keeper of the Jardin du Roi, the royal botanical garden, now the Jardin des Plantes, and museum of zoology. Buffon’s great work, Histoire naturelle, générale et particulière (1749–1804), drawn from the extensive royal wildlife collections, was the first modern attempt to systematically present all existing knowledge in the fields of natural history, geology, and anthropology in a single publication. His contributions were so vast, that Louis XVI commissioned a statue in his honor at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris. These exquisite watercolors, commissioned by René-Primevère Lesson (1794-1849), who continued Buffon's earlier work, served as models for the engravings in his Buffon publications. Lesson selected the most noted French natural history painters of his time, including Edouard Travies, Antoine Chazal, Paul-Louis Oudard, Jean-Gabriel Pretre, Jean Louis Prévost, Emile-Theophile Blanchard, and Antoine-Charles Vauthier, for these original watercolors of birds and mammals. Each brilliantly delineated in deeply saturated, intense colors, often heightened with gum Arabic and white, and is so finely drafted that the feathers and fur textures appear highly naturalistic. Each is from the Jeanson collection and mounted with gold borders – displayed royally like the work of their predecessors.

L. Prévost h: 73 w: 59,50 cm Provenance : Vente anonyme ; Londres, Christie's, 28 juin 1974, n° 7 ; Collection Dehaspe, en 1976 ; Collection particulière, Belgique Bibliographie : Michel et Fabrice Faré, 'La Vie silencieuse en France : La nature morte au XVIIIe siècle', Fribourg, 1976, p. 288, fig. 465 Commentaire : Au cours de la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle, les amateurs et collectionneurs français manifestèrent un enthousiasme sans précédent pour les natures mortes inspirées de l'art hollandais et tout particulièrement des délicats tableaux de fleurs de Jan van Huyssum. Certains peintres nordiques comme les frères Gérard et Cornelis Van Spaendonck, ou encore Jan Frans van Dael vinrent s'installer à Paris pour répondre à cette demande et plusieurs Français s'attachèrent également à rendre sur la toile avec une précision de botanistes les fleurs, fruits et petits insectes venus s'y abriter. Parmi ceux-ci figurent en première ligne Anne Vallayer-Coster et les deux frères Prévost, l'aîné Jean-Jacques et son cadet Jean-Louis dit le Jeune. Ce dernier fut placé par Cochin dans l'atelier de Jean-Jacques Bachelier dès novembre 1760 et commença à exposer au salon de l'Académie de Saint-Luc en 1774 où ses tableaux furent rapidement remarqués et admirés. Leur présence parmi de grandes collections de son temps, telles que celle du prince de Conti, celle du peintre Sébastien Leclerc ou encore celle de Blondel de Gagny témoigne de son succès auprès de ses contemporains. C'est avec un grand raffinement que Prévost représente ce bouquet. Dans une harmonie de coloris roses, blancs et ocres, les pétales veloutés et les délicates feuilles se détachent sur un fond sombre à l'aide d'un subtil clair-obscur. Loin de ses prédécesseurs nordiques aux éclatants bouquets où l'œil se perd, et avant les aquarelles de Redouté d'une exactitude toute scientifique, Jean-Louis Prévost traite dans notre tableau de la fragilité des fleurs avec la poésie du crépuscule du XVIIIe siècle français. Estimation 35 000 - 45 000 €

        Prevost, Folio - Mallow Rose. 4

        Est: $2,000 - $4,000

        This beautiful folio stipple engraving is from Jean Louis Prevost's Collection des Fleurs et des Fruits. The work was published in Paris by Vilquin in 1805. It was printed in colors and finished by hand by Ruotte. An exquisite plate from arguably the most beautiful botanical work ever produced, "a work of outstanding importance and interest." Contemporary with the work of Redouté, Collection des Fleurs et des Fruits is one of the earliest examples of stipple engraved and colour-printed botanical illustration. Published in 12 cahiers (or parts) of 4 plates each, the work was compiled to assist designers of porcelain and fabric, with the plates often showing flowers grouped together, usually matched according to their flowering season. The greatest collection of flower books to be sold at auction in the 20th century was the de Belder collection, sold by Sotheby's in 1987. The catalogue was intended as a true reflection of the uniqueness of the collection, and the cover illustration selected to represent the best of the best was an image from Prevost's Collection des Fleurs et des Fruits. Dunthorne describes it as, "a work of outstanding importance and interest...issued for the specific purpose of maintaining the great French tradition for excellence of design and draughtsmanship. Perhaps no other prints are more worthy of carrying on the tradition of Jean Baptiste and van Spaendonck than these fine examples of Prévost. Whether bouquets or sprays of flowers or fruit, they possess a splendour and freshness amounting almost to fragrance, which is largely due to the quality of the colour printing" (Dunthorne, p. 33).

        Collection des Fleurs et des Fruits. Paris: Chez Vilquin, 1805. Folio (21 x 14 inches). 48 stipple-engraved plates printed in color and finished by hand, by Louis Charles Ruotte (one by Chapponnier) after drawings by Prevost of flowers and fruit. Contemporary Havana sheepskin. First edition, bound from the original parts. One of the earliest examples of stipple-engraving used to create a grainy effect with a series of dots or flecks using a finely-toothed "roulette" or wheel. Jean Louis Prevost was a successful and widely renowned flower painter, respected both for his watercolor and oil paintings and for his engraved works. His paintings were consistently exhibited in the Paris Salon, and his original watercolors served as models for a series of exquisite color plate botanical books. "A work of outstanding importance and interest ... issued for the specific purpose of maintaining the great French tradition for excellence of design and draughtsmanship. Perhaps no other prints are more worthy of carrying on the tradition of Jean Baptiste and van Spaendonck than these fine examples of Prévost. Whether bouquets or sprays of flowers or fruit, they possess a splendour and freshness amounting almost to fragrance, which is largely due to the quality of the colour printing" (Gordon Dunthorne, Flower and Fruit Prints of the 18th and early 19th centuries, p. 33).

Contemporary Havana sheepskin. First edition, bound from the original parts. One of the earliest examples of stipple-engraving used to create a grainy effect with a series of dots or flecks using a finely-toothed "roulette" or wheel. Jean Louis Prevost was a successful and widely renowned flower painter, respected both for his watercolor and oil paintings and for his engraved works. His paintings were consistently exhibited in the Paris Salon, and his original watercolors served as models for a series of exquisite color plate botanical books. "A work of outstanding importance and interest ... issued for the specific purpose of maintaining the great French tradition for excellence of design and draughtsmanship. Perhaps no other prints are more worthy of carrying on the tradition of Jean Baptiste and van Spaendonck than these fine examples of Prévost. Whether bouquets or sprays of flowers or fruit, they possess a splendour and freshness amounting almost to fragrance, which is largely due to the quality of the colour printing" (Gordon Dunthorne, Flower and Fruit Prints of the 18th and early 19th centuries, p. 33).
