Impressionism Oil Place De La Madeleine, Émile Boyer 1877-1948
Large Impressionism oil on canvas by listed French artist Émile Boyer 1877-1948 depicting a beautiful evening view of Place De La Madeleine in Paris. The work has a multitude of figures and bustling activity. It is in the manner of Edouard Cortès and Galien Laloue, contemporaries of the artist. Signed lower right and again verso. Provenance, private Paris collection. Boyer is a well collected and sought after painter.
Émile Boyer was from an impoverished family and from childhood designed embroidery patterns and later worked as a printer. In 1912, he met Utrillo and Modigliani, and began to paint. He was invited to exhibit at the Salon d'Automne and the Salon des Tuileries. His work is never anecdotal - he painted only landscapes, flowers, local figures and portraits, and did so in a Naive style. The art collector Paul Guillaume and art dealer Wilhelm Uhde, a specialist in the work of Naive artists, purchased some of his works.
Art has long been regarded as a strong and safe investment. Ellen Kelleher, a personal finance reporter for The Financial Times wrote an article recommending art particularly in the $500 - $50,000 range as a sound long term investment with an impressive current average annual yield of 9.7%.
