Large C.1930 Oil Painting “the Newborn Child” After Georges de La Tour – Fellman

Listing Title: Large C.1930 Oil Painting “The Newborn Child” After Georges de La Tour – Fellman Brief Description: This is a beautiful, large and extremely decorative early-to-mid 20th-century oil on canvas, after the celebrated 17th-century French Baroque master Georges de La Tour (1593–1652). The painting is a finely executed period interpretation of La Tour's famous composition “The Newborn Child” (Le Nouveau-né), depicting a mother tenderly cradling her swaddled infant. At the same time, a second female figure looks on. The composition is particularly admired for its extraordinary use of chiaroscuro, with the figures emerging dramatically from the darkness and illuminated by a warm, concealed light source. The rich red of the mother's dress contrasts beautifully against the predominantly dark background, producing a wonderfully intimate and contemplative image. Of particular interest, the reverse of the canvas is inscribed “Kopiował Fr. Fellmann” — Polish for “Copied by Fr. Fellmann” — apparently identifying the artist responsible for this period interpretation. The painting also bears the inscription “G. de La Tour” lower right, acknowledging the artist of the original composition. Executed on a substantial scale, the work has tremendous presence when hung and is presented within its attractive decorative gilt frame. A striking and beautifully atmospheric period oil painting after one of the great masterpieces of 17th-century French Baroque art.
