| 'Fish market', oil on canvas by Louis-Robert Carrier-Belleuse (Paris, France 1848 - 1913), dated 1886. | Description: Louis-Robert Carrier-Belleuse grew up admiring his father Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse (Anizy-le-Château, Aisne, 1824 - Sèvres, 1887), famous sculptor and painter. He studied and absorbed his art education through direct observation, on-the-job training, and paternal instruction.
Louis-Robert entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts where he focused on painting. Under the direction of Alexandre Cabanel (Montpellier 1823 – Paris 1889) and Gustave Boulanger (Paris 1824 – 1888), two of the most successful painters of the time, Carrier-Belleuse mastered the academic techniques of drawing from plaster casts of famous sculptures and live models. In 1870 Carrier-Belleuse made his debut at the annual Salon.
Carrier-Belleuse captured the daily life of Parisian streets and Brittany villages, such as in our painting. His images included people of all social classes.
In 1889, Carrier-Belleuse accepted to be appointed as the artistic director of the Hippolyte Boulenger & Cie faience manufactory at Clichy-le-Roi where he designed new models for earthenware sculpture and pottery.
The last decade of Carrier-Belleuse’s career was devoted primarily to sculpture and large-scale faience projects.
The scene of our painting could be set in Normandy or on the banks of the Seine judging by the fishing nets hanging. In an original picture of the time, preserved at the Petit Palais museum in Paris, we can identify the same scene of our painting: Louis-Robert Carrier-Belleuse at work, the fishing nets hanging above the artist and the same steet lamps (http://www.petitpalais.paris.fr/en/collections/painter-louis-robert-carrier-belleuse-painting-open-air-%E2%80%93-street-scene).
Many of his works are preserved in museums in many different countries, such as the Dahesh Museum, New York, the Musee d'Art et d'Archeologie, Moulins, France, the Musée d’Orsay, Paris, the Musée du Petit Palais, Paris
and the Musée de Rochefort, Rochefort, France.
