 Raspal

Antoine Raspal, L’Atelier de couture, vers 1780. Huile sur bois. Collection Musée Réattu.

Antoine Raspal was the uncle of Jacques Réattu, whose paintings are also hung in the mus­eum named after him. Raspal painted the aristocracy and high bourgeoisie of Pro­vence on the eve of the French revolution. He re­ceiv­ed
a classical art training and imbibed the work of the Renaissance masters, but his por­traits and genre paint­ings reveal a unique style. Many of these meticulously detailed paintings feature garments made by his sisters in their workshop in Arles. This show is a moving journey back in time; Raspal bears attentive witness to his age.
