Nineteenth century oil painting by Gustave Danthon "Sunset on the River Loire".
Gustave Danthon was one of the late 19th century impressionist artists. He was a member of the Barbizon School of French landscape painters. They aimed to paint en plein aire - fresh realistic scenes that were painted in the open air. Members included John Francois Millet, Theodore Rousseau and Charles Daubigny.
Gustave Danthon exhibited at the prestigious Salon des Independants and the Salon d'Automne amongst others. His work was represented by the famous Joseph Seligman in Paris, who also represented many of the famous impressionsist artists of the 19th century. Seligman also had a gallery in New York and to the reverse of the frame of this painting is attached a very early US customs label, which would indicate that the painting has either been exhibited in the US or sold to an American client.
This painting retains its original fine quality water gilded frame, the canvas and paint are in good condition, Danthon has handled the light and colour to excellent effect. Including the frame the measurements are 62" by 44" or 158cm by 112 cm
