Edmond Henri Théodore de Palézieux, (1850 - 1924)
The Rescue Ship, c. 1885
Oil on canvas
h. 33-1/2 w. 45-1/2 in.
Private collection
His work is known for his views showing storms and sailors fighting the raging elements.
Edmond de Palézieux wanted a career in the navy, but the family pushes him to embrace another vocation that would make him travel: painting.
He became a pupil of Barthélemy Menn. Later, he went to Paris to follow the teaching of Jean-Paul Laurens and Fernand Cormon . After a brief stint in Düsseldorf, he returned to the shores of Lake Geneva. He made frequent stays in Brittany , in Normandy and in the South of France.
In the 1880s, Edmond de Palézieux made many trips to Paris, where he met some of his fellow painters like Eugene Burnand , Charles Giron, Paul Robert, Henry Rodt, Evert van Muyden and Theophile Bischoff. At the same time, he exhibited regularly at the Salon des artistes français for which he will receive critical reviews. Particularly, in 1887, he exhibited Return to market where one sees a peaceful fisherman on his Norman boat , appreciating the calm of the trip.
One can see a certain nostalgia for his homeland in his last years. In 1923 he painted his Souvenir de Régates, where he pictured himself aboard a racing yacht during a Lake Geneva regatta. Full of vigor, this painting presents all the passion of the painter for navigation, just like a certain trace of nostalgia for his years of racing on Lake Geneva. More on Edmond de Palézieux
