Description: | Signed: yes Description: A history and genre painter, Alfred Gues was a pupil of Charles Gleyre (1806-74). Although he exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1863 to 1881, he seems to have achieved little success in his lifetime. This still-life of flowers on a china vase set against a dark background on a green tablecloth is thickly painted with great detail and the colours offer a brilliant contrast. Little is known about this artist, who is under-represented in museum collections worldwide. | Subjects: | still life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Gues, Alfred (French artist, 1837-1908) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8518... | Go to resource |
