Description: Parisian street scene by Antoine Blanchard. Well, it's signed by "Antoine Blanchard". There was a period where Blanchard's work was so popular that he couldn't keep up with the demand. I'll let Heritage Auctions take it from here.... "As Blanchard’s popularity grew and the demand for his paintings became international, art galleries could not acquire enough of his works and would then have another artist paint similar works. The faux “Blanchard” paintings would be signed with the artists name “Antoine Blanchard” and at the time it would not have been out of the ordinary for someone else to use the same name, as *Marcel Masson did not register or copyright it. Additionally, at the time they were being painted patrons were not buying works for their “investment” potential and they were viewed as purely decorative paintings." *"Antoine Blanchard's" actual given name. Yeah, it's not confusing enough, right? Thank you, Heritage, for that. I did not include the entire article. You can visit Heritage Auctions Blogs for the rest of it. This is not to say that those "faux "works don't have value. They do. That being said, we present this painting as "Attributed to Antoine Blanchard". We've spent many hours trying to nail down the actual, legitimate signature characteristics. As a result of that, and in the interest of transparency, we ascertain that this signature looks as good as any of the "authenticated" signatures. However, we can't claim it is, without question, verified, signified and bona-fide Antoine's signature. If you're an expert in this field, you may get the deal of a lifetime. Thanks for looking, and if you read all that - kudos to you. 10% goes to EQUUS, because those 3 white horses appear in 95% or so of his works... Ships for FREE on a 24 x 36 stretcher frame.
