Andre Henri Dargelas
French 1828 – 1906
Born in Bordeaux in 1823, Andre Henri Dargelas was a painter of genre. As a young man, he made his way to Paris, and in 1854, he was admitted to Ecole des Beaux Arts. There he studied with the successful academic master, Francois Picot, who instructed his pupils in a neoclassical style of painting. Within three years, Dargelas began exhibiting at the annual Salon exhibition, creating compositions that demonstrated his mastery.
Andre Henri Dargelas later settled in the little art colony of Ecouen, a town eight miles from Paris. It was here that he evolved his new school and produced the quaint interiors and life-like figures, especially of children. He painted his subjects in a variety of situations, ranging from the schoolroom to the family dinner table, and it is these works that have made his name so famous. He chose not so much to lyricise rural life, as to momentalise it and he found a ready market in the new Bourgeoisie, bringing him both artistic and commercial success.
The Little Flower Seller is a wonderful example of Dargelas’ work. The scene captures a moment in time, set in the comfortable kitchen of a French house. Th

Ecouen is well known in all art circles as the home of Edouard Frère. It was here that the master evolved his new school and produced the quaint interiors and life-like figures, especially of children, that have made his name so famous. Through the intercession of our hostesses, we were admitted to the atelier of Frère, and at a moment when he was at work. Or rather he suffered himself to interrupted so that we might explore the secrets of his treasure-house.” After providing a vivid description of the four rambunctious ‘gamins’ who were posing for Frère at that moment, the writer goes on to describe the ateliers of André Henri Dargelas and his father-in-law Théophile-Emmanuel Duverger, among others. “M.
