Simon Dickinson, Inc., London (purchased at the above sale)EXHIBITEDNew York, Simon Dickinson Inc. and Newhouse Galleries Inc., Rome and the Campagna, Oil sketches by Auguste Jean-Baptiste Vinchon and other French Artists, May-June, 1999, no. 1, illustratedLITERATURECATALOGUE NOTEAs the first prize winner of the Prix de Rome contest for painting in 1814, Vinchon was awarded the opportunity to continue his studies at the French Academy in Rome, located at the Villa Medici. In this charming oil sketch, the artist depicts himself in his room at the villa. In contrast to the rather spartan accommodations, the glorious view from his window shows the garden-side façade of the villa looking northwest towards the Pincio Hill. Other examples of paintings with this same format, depicting pensionnaires in their Villa Medici rooms looking towards an open window, include Jean Alaux’s Portrait of Louis-Vincent-Léon Pallière of 1817 (Wrightsman Collection, New York) and Léon Coignet’s Self-Portrait of 1818 (Cleveland Museum of Art).SUGGESTED LOTSDiscover more upcoming
