Très Galant

Très Galant before 1914 by Italian Painter Cesare Detti (1847 – 1914); who is best known for his late 19th century and early 20th century historical genre scenes of the 17th and 18th century, inspired by the Troubadour Art Style.

This is a beautiful period piece of a time of when chivalry and gallantry were the expected norms of the society from both men and women.

It shows an aristocratic young man that is outfitted with a blue cap with a red feather on the top, wearing a matching blue jacket and white ruffled shirt, and a yellow cape draped over his right arm and shoulder, with brown knee high pants, and knee high socks tied off with pink ribbons into a bow on the side, with black low cut shoes.

Cesare was borne to Davide Detti an engineer and amateur painter on November 28, 1848 in Spoleto Italy; and showed from an early age an interest in art, that was encouraged by his father.

When he was 13 years old he met the Italian Painter Francesco Coghetti (1801 – 1875), a painter from Rome, who was creating murals at the Teatro Nuovo Gian Carlo Menotti; Coghetti, seeing the young boys talent made the suggestion that Cesare should attend the Accademia di San Luca where he was a professor, for formal artistic training.

He studied at the academy until 1866, coming under the influence of Spanish Painter Marià Josep Maria Bernat Fortuny i Marsal (1838 – 1874); who was the leading Spanish painter of his day with an international reputation, who was more commonly known as Marià Fortuny or Mariano Fortuny.

Fortuny, introduces Cesare to the Macchiaioli; who were a group of Italian painters active in Tuscany during the second half of the nineteenth century, who did most of their paintings in the outdoors, in order to capture the natural light, shading and color; which strayed from the conventions that were taught at the Italian art academies of the time.

Upon the completion of his studies Cesare began to travel extensively, spending several years in Naples, Italy and exhibiting there in 1872; the in 1876 he traveled to Paris, France and met the French Painter Jean-Baptiste Adolphe Goupil (1806 – 1893); who was a leading art dealer of the time and who agreed to exhibit his artwork, as well as making arrangements to have his artwork engraved for his bourgeois customers.

Eventually settling in Paris, he exhibited at the Salon in 1877; and then in 1880 married Juliette-Emilie Filieuse, with whom he had two daughter and a son.

When he and his family moved to the commune of Bourron-Marlotte, just outside of Paris in 1883, he became a member of the Groupe de Marlotte; an independent society of landscape painters.

Five years later he participated in the Italian Exhibition in London, and the following year in 1889 he had showings at the Exposition Universelle, where he was the Vice-President of the Italian Committee; he also exhibited at the Exposition Universelle in 1900 where he was awarded a Silver Medal.
