More about this artwork

Welcome to the colorful and engaging world depicted by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen in his 1893 masterpiece "Mothu Et Doria – Scènes Impressionistes." This intriguing piece offers a glimpse into the imaginative jest and lively scenes that characterize much of Steinlen's work.At the heart of the painting are two distinct figures, captured in a moment of theatrical exchange. On one side, we see a tall gentleman dressed sharply in a top hat and a conspicuous plaid overcoat. His poised demeanor contrasts sharply with his companion, a shorter man adorned in a simple red scarf and dark jacket, whose expressive gesture and facial expression imbue the scene with a sense of animated dialogue.This work is set against a dimly lit background that suggests an evening setting, illuminated only by the soft glow of a street lamp and the distant shimmer of lights in the backdrop. The use of muted yet warm tones further enhances the intimate and somewhat mysterious vibe of the encounter."Mothu Et Doria – Scènes Impressionistes" not only captures a vibrant interaction between its characters but also reflects the essence of Steinlen's artistic perspective, one that often delved into the depths of Parisian social life with both humor and subtlety. As viewers, we are invited to ponder the story behind this encounter: a snippet of daily life turned into a lasting impressionist scene.

Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, was a Swiss-born French Art Nouveau painter and printmaker.

Born in Lausanne, Steinlen studied at the University of Lausanne before taking a job as a designer trainee at a textile mill in Mulhouse in eastern France. In his early twenties he was still developing his skills as a painter when he and his wife Emilie were encouraged by the painter François Bocion to move to the artistic community in the Montmartre Quarter of Paris. Once there, Steinlen was befriended by the painter Adolphe Willette who introduced him to the artistic crowd at Le Chat Noir that led to his commissions to do poster art for the cabaret owner/entertainer, Aristide Bruant and other commercial enterprises.
