Jules Petroz and his wife Aicha made the discovery at Geneva's Plainpalais flea market in 1997. \"I'd seen this ordinary pastel-on-paper sitting on the ground for some time. No one wanted it,\" he said. But this time I noticed a small tear in one corner and glimpsed what appeared to be an oil painting underneath. I hid my excitement and bought it for 15 Swiss francs (10).\" Back home, he ripped off the pastel and he and Aicha gasped at the quality of a painting that revealed a red-headed beauty with bare breasts. Petroz, who freely admits he is not an expert on impressionists, immediately took the painting to the Geneva offices of Christie's and Sotheby's. Both houses pronounced it a likely masterpiece and said it resembled the work of Edouard Manet. But they stressed the only way it could be sold or auctioned was to get a certificate of authenticity from the Wildenstein Foundation in Paris, which has exclusive rights to attribute the works of the 19th-century master. Petroz immediately wrote a letter to what he would discover was one of the world's most powerful and secretive art houses. He enclosed an enlarged photograph of the painting and offered to pay all expenses if Daniel Wildenstein would come to Geneva to inspect it. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Manet\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.eu\/j4Qil7o\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"251\" width=\"155\" alt=\"Un Manet si bien caché\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1734\/1149\/files\/Edouard_Manet_93069441-5446-4113-81cd-e1e8a89364ea_2048x2048.jpg?v=1520061210\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.appleboutique.com\/pages\/edouard-manet-portrait-of-mery-laurent\" title=\"Edouard Manet portrait of Mery Laurent\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eEDOUARD MANET PORTRAIT OF MERY LAURENT\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.appleboutique.com\/pages\/1-une-exposition-particuliere\" title=\"1 Une exposition particulière.\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 UNE EXPOSITION PARTICULIÈRE.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.appleboutique.com\/pages\/2-mery-laurent-aux-seins-nus\" title=\"2 Mery Laurent aux seins nus.\"\u003e2 MERY LAURENT AUX SEINS NUS.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.appleboutique.com\/pages\/3-un-americain-a-paris\" title=\"3 Un americain à Paris.\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 UN AMÉRICAIN À PARIS.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.appleboutique.com\/pages\/4-mery-laurent\" title=\"4  Mery\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 MERY\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.appleboutique.com\/pages\/5-l-automne\" title=\"5  L’automne.\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e5 L’AUTOMNE.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.appleboutique.com\/pages\/5-l-automne\" title=\"6.

Lorsque la famille s'installa à Paris en 1873, leur fils, alors âgé de cinq ans, fut envoyé vivre chez ses grands-parents à Schwanden afin d'y achever sa scolarité primaire et secondaire. Après sa confirmation, Ruch rejoignit ses parents à Paris, où il exprima le désir de fréquenter une école d'art. Son père encouragea les aspirations professionnelles de son fils ; entre 1884 et 1886, Ruch suivit des cours de dessin et de peinture auprès d'Émile Auguste Mons. De 1885 à 1886, il étudia à l'Académie Julian et, dès 1886 — à l'âge de dix-huit ans —, Ruch s'inscrivit à l'École des Beaux-Arts, où il poursuivit sa formation artistique sous la direction de Jean-Léon Gérôme pendant six ans. En 1889, à l'âge de vingt et un ans, Jakob Ruch fut invité à exposer au Salon pour la première fois. En 1890, il participa à la première Exposition nationale d'art de Suisse, organisée à Berne.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"fr\"\u003eTravaillant comme artiste indépendant à Enghien-les-Bains (au nord de Paris) à partir de 1892, il entreprit des voyages d'étude en Normandie et dans la basse vallée de la Seine. Tandis qu'il vivait et travaillait à Paris durant l'hiver, il passait ses étés à Schwanden. Dès 1889, il exposa régulièrement au Salon de Paris, tout en présentant également des œuvres aux expositions itinérantes de la Société suisse des beaux-arts. En 1900, Ruch participa à l'Exposition universelle de Paris ; en 1901, il se vit décerner la médaille d'or de deuxième classe lors de l'Exposition internationale d'art de Munich. En 1902, désormais artiste confirmé, Ruch s'installa dans son atelier d'hiver à Montmartre et épousa, l'année suivante, Marie Frachet. Plus acclamé que tout autre artiste originaire du Glaris à son époque, il participa également à l'exposition annuelle du Carnegie Institute de Pittsburgh, aux États-Unis. En 1911, il prit part à l'*Esposizione Internazionale di Roma*. Dans la nuit du Nouvel An 1913-1914, il mourut subitement à Paris, à l'âge de 45 ans seulement, des suites d'une crise cardiaque.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"fr\"\u003eRuch connut sa percée artistique grâce à des scènes de la vie rurale. Celles-ci consistent en des représentations sans prétention de bétail au pâturage et de paysans vaquant à leurs travaux quotidiens ; les paysages purs et les panoramas de montagne y sont rarement dépeints. Le schéma compositionnel évolua très peu au fil des ans, présentant généralement des vues rapprochées de vaches, de moutons et de bergers dans les alpages, ou de paysans se tenant devant un village. Des montagnes enneigées — ou, moins fréquemment, des crêtes herbeuses — servent de toile de fond. Bien que la réception contemporaine l'ait associé aux peintres de *plein air*, les compositions de Ruch furent réalisées exclusivement en atelier. Les portraits ne constituent qu'une part minime de son œuvre et furent exécutés sur commande. Pour ses portraits et ses compositions en pied, l'artiste eut parfois recours à la photographie comme source documentaire, bien que l'arrière-plan fût par la suite modifié lors de l'exécution des œuvres en atelier. Ses dessins témoignent de l'étude approfondie de la nature menée par Ruch et servirent principalement d'esquisses préparatoires à ses peintures à l'huile. Ils démontrent la sûreté du trait de l'artiste et rivalisent avec ses tableaux — exécutés selon une technique d'*impasto* — par la vivacité de leur rendu.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"fr\" class=\"Y2IQFc\"\u003eRuch connut sa percée artistique grâce à des scènes de la vie rurale.

Bien que la réception contemporaine l'ait associé aux peintres de *plein air*, les compositions de Ruch furent réalisées exclusivement dans son atelier. Comparée à l'avant-garde parisienne de l'époque, l'œuvre de Ruch demeura imperméable aux courants artistiques de la peinture de la fin du XIXe siècle, tout comme au milieu culturel de la capitale française. Encouragé par ses premiers succès, il s'en tint aux thèmes picturaux qu'il avait établis dès ses débuts. Sa fidélité thématique aux paysages de montagne de sa patrie apparaît saisissante, étant donné que la majorité de ces représentations furent créées dans son atelier parisien. Bien que l'on puisse observer dans son travail une tendance vers une palette plus lumineuse et plus colorée, ses peintures — tant sur le plan thématique que formel — doivent être considérées comme conservatrices dans le contexte de leur époque. **Œuvres :** Berne, Confédération suisse, Office fédéral de la culture ; Genève, Musée d’art et d’histoire ; Kunsthaus Glarus ; Kunstmuseum Luzern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"fr\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"APPLE BOUTIQUE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43246708260982,"sku":null,"price":5000.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1734\/1149\/files\/JacobRuch1_7708c87f-15c2-40e8-b48f-5ce9b85291f4.jpg?v=1774953635"},{"product_id":"large-19th-century-oil-portrait-emile-zola","title":"Large 19th century oil portrait - Emile Zola ?","description":"\u003cp\u003eLarge 19th century oil portrait painting Emile Zola ?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOil on canvas 96cm x 80cm unsigned.
