Jean Béraud, 1849-1935, la belle époque, une époque rêvée, catalogue raisonné (Book) by Patrick Offenstadt, Nicole Castais and Pierre Saurisse. Like New – Delivery Time: 14 Days – in French.
At the end of this century, Paris is changing its appearance, and is adorned with the emblems of modernity. Haussmann pierces wide boulevards, Garnier builds a sumptuous Opera, Eiffel raises its Tower during a Universal Exhibition.
Far from this effervescence, the painters, and among them the impressionists, know how to escape this tumult by taking refuge in the countryside. Jean Béraud is a city dweller at heart. Painter of urban animation, he tirelessly walks the arteries of the capital, from the Champs-Elysées to the Halles, from Montmartre to the quays of the Seine. This meticulous observer even goes so far as to draw aboard a cab. If the work of this talented artist lacks neither charm nor spirit, it had never before been presented as a whole.
Embellished with numerous period photographs, it will offer all lovers of the capital a stroll through 19th century Paris. Béraud is the observer of boulevards and social evenings, the portrait painter of elegant hats, but he is also the painter of busy workers, popular balls and absinthe drinkers in smoky cafes. He is as attentive to historical events as to the vicissitudes of everyday life. It is thus the entirety of a work that is to be discovered, along with the different facets of a bygone world.
