Riverside.

36.5 x 55 cm
Certificate of authenticity.
Antonin FANART (17 January 1831 - 2 September 1903) was a French painter. Born into a middle-class family in Besancon, Antonin Fanart left for Switzerland in 1849 to study art and painting in Geneva. As a landscape painter, he travelled extensively in Switzerland, Savoy and Franche-Comte, regions from which he drew the subjects for several of his works. His first exhibition took place in 1854 in Geneva, before exhibiting at the Paris Salon in 1857. Shortly afterwards, he created a newspaper called Le Doubs, firmly opposed to the Second Empire. He became the sub-prefect of Montbeliard at the fall of the Empire (1871). Antonin Fanart returned to live in Besancon, a city where he was a city councillor, after his marriage in 1866. He founded the Musee du Palais Granvelle as well as the "Union Comtoise des Arts Decoratifs" before dying of heart disease on 2 September 1903 in the city where he was born. A street in Besancon bears his name, in the Montrapon-Fontaine-ecu district.
