Charles REVEL
Lyon, 1829 - circa 1880
Oil on wood panel
32.5 x 24.5 cm (38 x 30.5 cm with frame)
Signed lower right "Ch. Revel".

Charles Revel was a painter from Lyon who studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts with Claude Bonnefond. He exhibited genre scenes and portraits at the Salon between 1864 and 1880.
Our painting is a portrait of an "Incroyable".
The "Incroyables" were those Frenchmen who adopted an extravagant style of dress after the death of Robespierre in 1794 and the end of the Terror. They didn't pronounce the "r" for fear of recalling the Revolution!
"The "Incroyables" wear an English frock coat that shortens at the front and lengthens at the back, the vest is shorter, the breeches widen, the collar covers the nape of the neck entirely, and the ruffle is so voluminous that it hides the chin. They no longer wear heels, but flat shoes or high boots. Extravagant hairstyles and wigs were replaced by a new cut: hair fell over the ears and floated to the shoulders. These men always carried a spiral club, which they called their "executive power".
