Original Description
As dusk descends upon Bougival, Auguste Anastasi's Etude De Ciel, Riviere Neuve (c.1850s) captures poetry in motion. The oil sketch reveals his mastery of atmospheric effects where muted violets and golds bleed into the Seine's shimmering surface, reflecting shifting clouds above. This spontaneous plein-air study epitomizes the transitional phase between Corot's lyrical landscapes and early Impressionism, showcasing Anastasi's role as a bridge painter within the Barbizon School circles. Though lesser-known than his contemporaries like Daubigny, the work’s loose brushwork and obsession with fleeting light reveal why museums like Musée d'Orsay preserve his studies – they are vital documents of open-air painting's evolution in mid-19th century France.
For contemporary spaces, this 8" x 10" gem thrives when treated as a luminous focal point. Frame it in a slender walnut floater frame to emphasize its sketch-like vitality, then position against deep slate walls to make its pearly highlights glow. Perfect above a minimalist console in a study or as part of a salon-style corridor display alongside other Barbizon works, its horizontal format balances vertical elements like bookshelves. The painting’s soft mauve and celadon tones harmonize with linen upholstery and bleached oak furnishings, while its silvery accents elevate metallic finishes in Modernist interiors. For offices, pair with matte black fixtures to underscore its antique patina – proving how 19th-century sky studies can feel strikingly fresh when curated with intentional contrast.
