Tschaggeny, flemish pastoral landscape, 1849. This oil painting on oak panel depicts a bucolic scene, a landscape with animals and a shepherdess, and is of great pictorial quality. A peasant woman rests in the shade of a tree, a bucket and an amphora lie on the grass to her left. Sitting with her back against a fence, the shepherdess is intent on stroking the muzzle of a complacent cow. At her feet, a sheep and lamb crouch.
the scene in the foreground is framed by a flat rural landscape with architecture in the distance.
in excellent condition, within a carved and gilded wooden frame.
this landscape is signed and dated lower right: charles philogène tschaggeny (brussels 1815-1894); brother of edmond, an animal painter and anatomist, author of the bovine anatomical atlas for the use of artists, whose watercolor anatomical plates are at the catholic university of leuven in louvain-la-neuve. Charles philogène tschaggeny was the protégé of eugène joseph verboeckhaven, the world-famous animal painter of the time, specializing in horses in particular and the animalier genre.
he was active as a painter and engraver in the netherlands, where he won a gold medal at the brussels salon in 1845 and at the antwerp salon in 1846, but also in england, in london, oxford, and cambridge, where he moved in 1848-1849. He established himself as one of the finest romantic artists, animal portraitists, and consolidated an excellent commercial reputation, thanks in part to his patrons, such as king william ii of the netherlands, leopold i of belgium, and marie henriette of austria. Even queen victoria, a great admirer of his, purchased a painting for her collection in 1851.
tschaggeny became a member of the royal academy in 1865. This piece has an attribution mark,
