Sul dipinto
Georges Bellenger (1847-1918) was a French painter, illustrator and lithographer. A pupil of Horace Lecoq de Boisbaudran (1802-1897) at the ‘Petite Ecole’ in Paris, he exhibited work at the Salons in Paris from 1864 and in London between 1875 and 1879. He was notable for his still-life and landscapes but he also produced portraits such as this one. He was perhaps best known for his illustrative work for French writers such as Emile Zola.
Leggi

Ionides’s eldest children: Euterpe, Alexander Constantine called ‘Alec’ and Constantine Albert called ‘Cotz’. They are portrayed in their home, 8 Holland Villas Road, which presents a typical mid-19th century bourgeois interior with a Turkish rug, Neo-Renaissance table and a porcelain vase with floral motifs, items which are representative of their father’s furniture collection. Ionides extensive collection included also over a thousand paintings, drawings and prints and was bequeathed to the museum in 1900.
