ZACHARIE CHARLES LANDELLE (Laval 1821–1908 Chennevières–sur–Marne) Portrait of an Armenian woman. Oil on canvas. Signed lower left: Ch Landelle. 48.6 × 33.2 cm. Provenance: Swiss private collection. The French Orientalist painter Zacharie Charles Landelle is known for his portraits and figure paintings. He studied under the painter of historical subjects Paul Delaroche (1797–1856) and the talented portraitist Ary Scheffer (1795–1858) at the école des Beaux-arts in Paris, and began his training by copying Old Master paintings in the Louvre. In order to earn a living, he began painting portraits, which became especially popular. Some of his portraits were presented in an exhibition at the Salon of 1841, where they attracted the attention of King Louis-Philippe I (1773–1850). Soon thereafter, he was appointed official court painter. From 1865, he made several trips to the Middle East and North Africa. Landelle’s approach to figure painting was marked less by ethnographical interests than by emotional ones, as evidenced by the present work. This portrait of an Armenian woman, which is a smaller version of a painting in the Wallace Collection in London (ill.1), is remarkable for its precise execution. The two paintings differ only slightly, namely in the details of the jewellery and clothing: the bracelet in the present work is made of white materials, while in the larger painting it is darker. Casimir Stryienski, author of the 1911 Paris publication, Une carrière dartiste au XIXe siècle, Charles Landelle, 1821–1908, also reported in 1910 the existence of ‘other, unspecified half-length versions’ of this painting, which probably includes ours. Both paintings were most likely created in Paris using models in costume, before Landelle’s travels to the Middle East. We are grateful to Richard Green for his scholarly support in cataloguing this painting. --------------- ZACHARIE CHARLES LANDELLE (Laval 1821–1908 Chennevières–sur–Marne) Bildnis einer Armenierin. ?l auf Leinwand. Unten links signiert: Ch Landelle. 48,6 × 33,2 cm. Provenienz: Schweizer Privatbesitz. Zacharie Charles Landelle, ein franz?sischer Künstler und Orientalist, ist bekannt für seine Portr?t- und Figurendarstellungen. Unter dem Historienmaler Paul Delaroche (1797–1856) und dem begabtem Portr?tisten Ary Scheffer (1795–1858) studierte er an der école des Beaux-arts und übte sich zun?chst im Kopieren Alter Meister im Louvre. Um seinen Lebensunterhalt bestreiten zu k?nnen, begann er mit dem Malen von Portr?ts, die auf breites Interesse stiessen und in einer ersten Ausstellung am Salon von 1841 pr?sentiert wurden, wo sie die Aufmerksamkeit K?nig Louis-Philippe I. (1773–1850) auf sich zogen. Schon bald wurde er zum offiziellen Hofmaler ernannt. Ab 1865 begab er sich auf mehrere Reisen in den Orient und nach Nordafrika. Die Figurendarstellungen Landelles zeichnen sich weniger durch ethnografische als vielmehr durch eine gefühlsbetonte Malerei aus, wie auch in vorliegender Komposition deutlich wird. Dieses Bildnis einer Armenierin, bei dem es sich um eine kleinere Version des Gem?ldes aus der Wallace Collection in London handelt (Abb.1.), beeindruckt durch seine pr?zise Ausführung. Die beiden Gem?lde unterscheiden sich nur geringfügig, wie beispielsweise in den Details des Schmucks und der Kleidung: So ist das Armband bei vorliegendem Werk aus weissem Material, w?hrend es bei der gr?sseren Version in dunkler Ausführung erscheint. Der Autor der 1911 in Paris erschienen Publikation, "Une carrière dartiste au XIXe siècle, Charles Landelle, 1821–1908", Casimir Stryienski, berichten zudem im Jahr 1910 von der Existenz von "anderen, nicht n?her bezeichneten Versionen in halber L?nge" dieses Gem?ldes, wozu auch das unsrige z?hlen dürfte. Beide Gem?lde entstanden wohl in Paris nach kostümierten Modellen, bevor Landelle den Nahen Osten besucht hatte. Wir danken Richard Green für seine wissenschaftliche Unterstützung bei der Katalogisierung dieses Gem?ldes.
