Griche la borgne, Ma Ville (One-eyed Griche, My Town)

Marguerite Burnat-Provins’s personality, like her artistic and literary work, encompassed two contradictory facets. She was born in Arras in northern France, married in Vevey, then travelled the Valais, the Far East and South…

Le Criquet suivi de ses serviteurs portant des présents se rend au tombeau de ses ancêtres, Ma Ville (The Cricket, followed by his servants bearing gifts, approaches the tomb of his ancestors, My Town)

Marguerite Burnat-Provins was the eldest of eight children born to a cultivated family in the Pas-de-Calais. She began drawing at the age of four. She showed little interest in toys, dolls, jewellery or…

Portrait d’un arbre indien 1 (Portrait of an Indian tree 1)

This painting of a wooded landscape is typical of French artist Philippe Cognée’s work. It reflects his deep appreciation for nature, his use of a restrained colour palette—blue for the sky, green for…

Programme pour “Père” de Strindberg (Programme for Strindberg’s The Father)

Félix Vallotton made his mark not only as a painter, but also as an illustrator, particularly in the decade from 1890 to 1900 when he worked widely in the press, publishing, and advertising.

Paravent. Baigneuses au bord de l’eau (Screen. Bathers by the water)

Le Colin-maillard (Blind man’s buff)

This painting was shown at the Paris Salon in year V of the French Revolution (i.e. 1796) and purchased in 1798 by Napoleon’s uncle Joseph Fesch a few years before he was appointed a cardinal.

Portière du Char de Triomphe (Portière of the Triumphal Chariot), late seventeenth century

This tapestry, made to hang over a door as a draught excluder, depicts a triumphal chariot face-on, showing the front of the carriage body and the wheels. It bears a large cartouche featuring…

Les Tresseuses de paille (Women weaving straw)

Vaud-born Ernest Biéler first visited the Valais village of Savièse in 1884, moving there to settle in 1900. From 1906 on, he became involved in Art Nouveau circles, developing a new style he…

Paysage aux Ormonts (Ormonts landscape)

Alfred Chavannes trained as an artist with Alexandre Calame in Geneva, then Oswald Achenbach in Düsseldorf. He returned to Switzerland in 1874, building a career locally as a landscape painter. His views of…
