Description
FRENCH SCHOOL late 19th or early 20th century attributed to Eugène Boch (?) Flowers composition Oil on canvas (missing material around the edges) 46 x 38 cm Provenance: Former Eugène BOCH Collection, then by inheritance. Eugène Boch was born into a family of entrepreneurs in Belgium, founders of Villeroy & Boch. He stayed in the studio of the French painter Léon Bonnat in Paris in 1879. Boch then worked in Fernand Cormon's studio. Dodge MacKnight introduced him to Van Gogh, who painted his portrait, now in the Musée d'Orsay. He was the younger brother of Anna Boch, a painter who took part in the 1907 Salon des Beaux-Arts in Ostend with Anna De Weert, Louise Danse and Marie Antoinette Marcotte. Anna Boch had one of the most important collections of Impressionist paintings of her time. She promoted young artists, including Vincent van Gogh, whom she admired for his talent and who was a friend of her brother Eugène Boch. She bought him The Red Vine for 400 francs, the only work Van Gogh managed to sell during his lifetime. Anna Boch died in Brussels in 1936 and is buried in the Ixelles cemetery. Anna Boch's collection was sold at auction after her death, where the Russian collector Sergei Shchukin notably acquired The Red Vine, painted by Vincent van Gogh. The hitherto unpublished works presented in this sale come from the descendants of the French family who inherited her collection. For an identical provenance see : Maître BONDU, Drouot-Richelieu, 18 March 1996 room 2, Estate of Mme X. Former Eugène BOCH Collection.
