Post lot text ROBERT CHARLES LAURENS GUSTAVE MOLS, THE QUAY OF THE LOUVRE, SEEN FROM THE GALERIE D'APOLLON, OIL ON CANVAS, UNLINED, SIGNEDA precocious talent, Robert Mols (1848-1903) was trained at the Antwerp Academy, where, at the age of 13, he was awarded several prizes. After his arrival in Paris in 1886, he became a student of Jean-François Millet (1814-1875) and Jules Dupré (1811-1889). A keen observer, he realized numerous large-scale panoramas where he accurately depicts the topographical landscape. Several of his imposing vistas were bought by the French government, such as his view of the old port of Marseille (1879). Some have since then joined our cultural institutions, like his view of the Sète harbor, painted by the artist in 1891 (Sète, musée Paul Valéry). At the Antwerp Universal Exhibition of 1894, he exhibited a large panorama of actual Stanleyville in Congo, presenting to visitors the distant landscapes of the Belgian Congo. Our view of Paris is a marvellous testimony to the life of the Belle Époque. Crawling with picturesque details of the Paris of yesteryear, we rediscover the laundry boats, pumping water from the Seine at the foot of the Vert Gallant square, or the bath of the Samaritan, recognizable thanks to the clock tower above its sign, and which was destroyed due to floods in 1920. Our painting combines architectural details which we still find today, such as the Morris columns or the coloured benches, with elements that have long disappeared from the urban landscape, like the two-storeyed omnibus and horse-drawn carriages.
