The last revolution had caused a political and social upheaval and the city slowly returned to its lively and easy-going everyday life. Almost daily, the entire French capital became a marketplace. The inhabitants of the ever-growing city wanted fresh food and the wealthy middle and upper classes were in search of fine pleasures. Seas of flowers glowed in bright colors and merchants offered finely tied bouquets. The markets were the meeting place of all social classes. Ladies met for a chat, gentlemen took in the hustle and bustle and the wonderful backdrop of Parisian architecture framed the scene. French painter Victor Gabriel Gilbert brings the hustle and bustle of the markets to life. Gilbert had exceptional powers of observation and a realistic sense of detail. The artistic rendering is virtuosic, drawing the viewer into the vibrant life of the Belle Époque.
Victor Gabriel Gilbert was born in Paris and remained loyal to the city throughout his life. Victor showed an artistic talent at an early age, but due to the economic situation of his family, he was not able to start studying. The artist decided to train as a craftsman with a decorative painter. Painting and the lively life in the streets of the city captivated Gilbert and at the age of 26 the artist made his debut in the Paris Salon. His fine and detailed works delighted collectors and critics alike. Gilbert found his inspiration in the city. The markets, the construction of glass and the wrought-iron metal of Les Halles, the market stalls with meat, fish and fruit aroused the desire of collectors. From the paintings of Victor Gilbert, the love of the city speaks with every brushstroke. The artist strolls with his admirers along the boulevards, along the cafés and past the street vendors. He invites you to dance at the sumptuous balls and exudes the heavy perfume of joie de vivre.
The painter Gustave Courbet paved the way for a new realism in painting. The representations were based on a high fidelity to reality. Initially, the realistic painting had a strong reference to historical themes and motifs from literature. Through elaborate research and with great historical knowledge, the first painters of the era achieved a realistic rendering. In the course of the century, realism changed into a truthful representation of the present. Victor Gabriel Gilbert's work built a bridge to Impressionism. Gilbert was a studio painter who was able to bring the light of the Parisian streets into the interior. He is considered a source of inspiration for painters such as Monet and Gauguin, who enriched their personal collections with Gilbert's works.
