ACHILLE BONNUIT 1833-1906 Still life with baskets of chestnu - Lot 42
ACHILLE BONNUIT 1833-1906 Still life with baskets of chestnuts, 1865. Photograph. Albumen print mounted on card and dated in pencil under the image. Image: 16.2 x 12 cm; mount: 22.7 x 18.4 cm A gilder and decorator, Achille Bonnuit (1833-1906) joined the Sèvres factory in 1858. He took advantage of the artistic effervescence that reigned there to produce clichés, often in collaboration with his father-in-law Derischweiler. He produced tableaux vivants, still lifes and delicately rendered garden views, such as this composition of baskets filled with chestnuts, which he enhanced with a white cloth placed on the chair as a painter would deposit pigment, or the skilful use of lines through the serpentine curve of a staircase.
The Musée d'Orsay holds other prints by Bonnuit (PHO 1984 70).
