Original Description
Jean André Rixens' Déjeuner du Salon, Au Café La Cascade (c.1899) captures the sophisticated elegance of Belle Époque Parisian café culture through a luminous Impressionist lens. This vibrant oil painting portrays well-dressed patrons enjoying afternoon leisure beneath the glass-roofed veranda of Café La Cascade—an iconic establishment nestled within Paris' Bois de Boulogne park. Bathed in dappled sunlight filtering through greenery, the composition masterfully balances intimate social observation with atmospheric plein-air effects, showcasing Rixens' academic training and impressionistic brushwork. As a Salon des Artistes Français regular, Rixens documented transitional moments where bourgeois society embraced modern leisure pursuits—making this work both a charming genre scene and valuable historical document bridging academic traditions with emerging modernist sensibilities in fin-de-siècle French art.
At approximately 28 x 36 inches (typical Salon-dimensioned canvas), this work commands attention as a statement piece for formal dining rooms or executive offices. Its verdant green and cream palette naturally complements spaces featuring late 19th-century reproduction furniture or modern transitional decor with mahogany accents. For optimal visual harmony, hang adjacent to emerald velvets or gilt-framed mirrors that echo the painting's reflected light effects. In contemporary minimalist settings, let it anchor walls painted in Farrow & Ball's "Vert de Terre" to emphasize its lush foliage. Scale works beautifully above sideboards or corporate credenzas—just ensure 58-62" centerline hanging height to mirror the café's seated perspective. For collectors seeking museum-quality conversation starters, this rare Salon piece offers both artistic pedigree and enduring charm that transcends fleeting design trends.
