Emile TRONCY
Sétif (Algeria),1859 - Marseille, Bouches-du-Rhône, 1943
Oil on canvas
circa 1910
Signed lower left "E. Troncy
42 x 33 cm (58 x 50 cm with frame)
Stamped by the canvas dealer "L. Besnard" (active in Paris between 1902 and 1912)

The Musée d'Orsay has a painting by Emile Troncy (Coeur simple, 1901), which can be compared with our painting. Again, it depicts a simple scene from the lives of simple people.
Emile Troncy received academic training from William Bouguereau and Tony Robert-Fleury. He exhibited at the Salon des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he won a medal. But what is striking about Eimle Troncy's art is his quest for simplicity in both subject and spirit.
The famous art critic Antonin Proust wrote of Emile Troncy's painting, which he exhibited at the Salon des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1898: "M. Emile Troncy's painting 'L'Equipe de traîne' has a primitive allure. The placement of the men in the boats is ingenious, and the respect for the real which dominates everything in this canvas makes it a most endearing composition." It's this combination of the real and the well-composed that is so appealing in Emile Troncy's paintings, as in our own.
