Rau presents a distinguished Art Nouveau Style collection that captures the spirit of one of the most innovative aesthetic movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Flourishing between approximately 1890 and 1910, Art Nouveau emerged as a deliberate departure from historical imitation, embracing organic forms, sinuous lines and a visionary fusion of art and design that transformed decorative arts across Europe and the United States.\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1015\" data-end=\"1523\"\u003eAt its core, Art Nouveau reflects a deep reverence for nature’s expressive potential — curves that echo vines, blossoms and animal life, and motifs that suggest motion and vitality.

This stunning oil on canvas is imbued with a misty, hazy romanticism that characterizes many of his landscapes and portraits, and it is an exceptional example of Lévy-Dhurmer’s ability to transport the viewer into an imaginary journey of the senses. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Partly obscured by a rose bush, the Persian city of Isfahan, in present-day Iran, forms the expansive vista. The painting's title is taken from the poem by Charles Leconte de Lisle, which was famously set to music by Gabriel Fauré in 1884. Lévy-Dhurmer's incredible brushwork and mastery of color bring the vista to life with thousands of feathery strokes, perfectly evoking the allure and mystery of this legendary city. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Born in French Algeria in 1865, Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer studied drawing and sculpture in Paris as a child and began his artistic career as a decorative painter at a porcelain manufactory in Golfe-Juan. Throughout his long career, Lévy-Dhurmer experimented with different artistic styles and mediums, succeeding as a ceramicist, painter, pastelist and furniture designer. Perhaps his most celebrated work, the famed Wisteria Dining Room, which is now held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a brilliant example of the artist’s remarkable range of skills in various media. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e His trip to Italy in 1895 would change the course of his life and interests. It was there that he discovered an interest in German and Florentine Renaissance—resulting in paintings that fit in nicely alongside those of the English Pre-Raphaelites. That same year, Lévy-Dhurmer officially began his painting career. In 1896, he held his first solo exhibition at the Galerie Georges Petit in Paris, where he appeared for the first time under the name Lévy-Dhurmer, adding to his surname Lévy part of his mother’s maiden name, Pauline-Amelie Goldhurmer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e His unique blend of Academic detail with Impressionist color and technique garnered the artist considerable attention. He was drawn to the ideals of the Symbolist movement, which offered an intellectual alternative to the purely visual pursuits of the Impressionists. After 1900, Lévy-Dhurmer’s work explored the emotional and lyrical possibilities of landscape and atmosphere. Similar landscapes by Lévy-Dhurmer from this period reside in the Denver Art Museum and the Musée d’Orsay in Paris. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Circa 1910 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Canvas: 23 3\/4\" high x 32\" wide (60.33 x 81.28 cm)\u003cbr\u003e Frame: 30\" high x 38 1\/8\" wide x 2\" deep (76.20 x 96.84 x 5.08 cm) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Provenance:\u003cbr\u003e Private collection, London\u003cbr\u003e M.S.

Schneider Glassworks used the \u003cem\u003eLe Verre Français\u003c\/em\u003e to identify their two or three-layered cameo glass vases, bowls, ewers and lamps that were forged in a style that combined Art Deco and Art Nouveau features. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Charles and Ernest Schneider were a generation younger than Emile Gallé and the Daum brothers, whose glassworks were created in the same area of France. The Schneider brothers worked for Daum from the early 1900s and honed their skills as glass artisans. In 1912, the brothers left Daum to set out on their own to make original high-quality cameo vases and lamps. The \u003cem\u003eLe Verre Français\u003c\/em\u003e line was first introduced in 1918 and was sold in their own retail gallery in Paris. Charles served as the creative force in the operation while his brother Ernest took the helm of business operations. When identifying \u003cem\u003eLe Verre Français\u003c\/em\u003e items, the Schneiders sometimes adopted the portmanteau signature “Charder” — an amalgam of CHAR from Charles and DER from Schneider. The Schneiders were brilliant and versatile designers and businessmen and their superb designs appealed to an elevated clientele. They were very successful in marketing their glass to major high-prestige retail stores both in Paris and also throughout Europe and overseas in the United States. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Circa 1930 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 14 3\/4\" high x 5\" diameter","brand":"M.S.

The new style of Art Nouveau had begun to appear, and the movement's aesthetics and devotion to nature appealed greatly to the young Gallé. In 1894, Gallé built a manufacturing plant in Nancy and began creating his own designs from inception through production. Gallé personally developed many of the designs, and he was known to actively make alterations and approve the designs of his talented team of designers and craftsmen he employed at the \"Cristallerie D'Emile Gallé.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Signed \"Gallé\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Circa 1900 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 17 1\/2\" high x 13\" wide x 6\" deep","brand":"M.S.
