Charles Theller Wilson Art

American, 1855-1920

Charles Theller Wilson was born in San Francisco, California, on October 10, 1855. He first studied painting with his mother, Agnes, who was California's earliest known woman artist and later with Jules Tavernier. Wilson lived in his native city until 1900 when he moved north to Eureka. Sketching trips were made to Mexico, Central America and the west coast of South America, however, it is his paintings of the California redwoods which made him renown. He had a ready market in the East, where his works were reproduced by calendar makers with thousands being sold all over the U.S. Many of Wilson’s paintings were lost in the 1906 earthquake. He produced a set of large paintings for Humboldt County's exhibit at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. The year before he died, Wilson went to New York City to visit relatives.

Dance of the Nymphs
By Paul Desire Trouillebert
Located in New Orleans, LA
This lyrical landscape entitled Dance of the Nymphs was composed by the French Barbizon painter Paul Désiré Trouillebert. A joyful scene of nymphs dancing the morning fog, the work closely resembles an important work by the great Camille Corot, which is now housed at the Musée d'Orsay (Paris). Renowned for his unique individuality that toed the line between the traditional and modern, Corot and his landscapes helped pave the way for an entire generation of Impressionists who followed him. Trouillebert perfectly captures the poetic atmosphere of Corot’s groundbreaking works, while also imbuing this scene with a freshness and character that is all his own. Trouillebert's oil on canvas is exemplary of the tradition of historical painting. The work perfectly combines a realistic depiction of the natural world with a spirited romanticism as his idealized nymph figures frolic playfully beneath a crisp morning sky. As a whole, it is a lovely composition executed with a level of skill and artistry that proves Trouillebert's exceptional talent in the arts. Born in Paris in 1831, Paul Désiré Trouillebert was a student of the academic painters Ernest Hébert...
