Amédée BAUDIT (1825–1890) - Lot 207
Amédée BAUDIT (1825–1890) A Shepherdess from the Landes and Her Sheep Near Lacanau or Before the Storm, 1883 Oil on canvas, signed and dated in the lower right corner. Bears a handwritten label reading “No. 141 on the back” on the stretcher. Bears a handwritten label reading “No. 899” on the back of the frame. Titled on the frame “Before the Storm” and bears the notation “Guest” twice. 110 x 161 cm Exhibition: Société des Amis des Arts de Bordeaux, Bordeaux, Gounouilhou, 1885, no. 29, p. 20. A student of the painter François Diday (1802–1877), Amédée Daudit is, as Jean-Roger Soubiran notes, one of the three great names of the “Bordeaux Trinity” alongside Martin Léonce Chabry (1832–1882) and Louis-Auguste Auguin (1824–1903). A rival of the latter, Daudit devoted himself to painting landscapes that “come alive” and are influenced by the great masters of the Barbizon School. Between 1870 and 1886, the artist devoted himself to creating a “storm series” painted around Lacanau. Drawing on the teachings of his mentor, Baudit placed great importance on the solitude of the subjects he depicted. Conversely, in his large-scale works, he conveys a vivid emotion in the face of nature’s fury to present a natural and realistic vision—unlike Auguin—of the living conditions of the inhabitants of southern Gironde and the Landes region.
