Rabbit - Antique Oil Painting

1940 - 1960
Description

Signed oil on panel by the French artist Charles Betremieux (1919 - 1997) who was a creative artist. The still life shows rabbit and is signed by the artist in red.

Betremieux was born in 1919 and was predominantly inspired by the 1930s. He studied at the Ecole Beaux-Arts in Valenciennes with Raymond Debieve where their work was quickly noticed and rewarded:

The period of the 1930s is characterised by the clashing of many political ideologies, including Marxist Socialism, Capitalist Democracy, and the Totalitarianism of both Communism and Fascism. Surrealism continued to dominate in Europe, and had influence internationally. Artists such as Frida Kahlo and Diego Riviera in Mexico, worked to integrate the ideas posed by Surrealism into their radical political ideologies, developing a new kind of magic realism.

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Game and animal still life paintings originated as a prominent genre in seventeenth-century European art, representing hunting traditions and kitchen scenes. Over time, the subject evolved through modern movements into studies of form, colour, and texture.

Twentieth-century oil paintings are typically created using oil-based pigments mixed with linseed oil, applied onto stretched linen canvas, cotton duck, or hardboard panels.

Original pieces display authentic brushwork, impasto texture, artist signatures, natural surface ageing, and characteristic wear on the canvas or mounting board.

Animal still life paintings complement modern interiors when framed in minimal wood moulding or mounted on neutral, textured walls alongside modern ceramics.

Dust the surface gently with a dry, soft-bristled brush. Avoid water, chemical solvents, direct sunlight, and extreme humidity to prevent cracking or darkening of the varnish.
