Cendrillon by Joseph Bail was created in 1900. The painting is in Musee du Petit Palais, Paris. The size of the work is 130 x 89 cm and is made as an oil on canvas.
About the Artist: Joseph Bail was born on January in Limonest in the Rhone region of France. His father, Jean-Antoine Bail, was a trained genre painter who was heavily influenced by the Dutch masters and focused his attention on depicting scenes from daily life. In a period of increasing modernity and industrialization, these paintings glorified the past ways of life in France and found a sympathetic audience in bourgeois patrons.
Just after his sixteenth birthday, Bail debuted at the Salon of 1878 with Nature Morte. The still life tradition in France was invigorated by the work of Jean-Siméon Chardin in the eighteenth century and still lifes continued to be a major interest for many artists and many occupied themselves primarily with this type of painting.
Just as Claude Monet would do, Bail studied the changing effects of light on haystacks in the countryside. But as his style progressed, he showed a stronger affinity with his father’s work and that of the Chardin and the Dutch masters, choosing to portray room interiors illuminated by a strong light source.
