Alfred-Arthur Brunel de Neuville
Many of de Neuville's works have been made into prints so that
we all, to some extent, "know" his paintings. There
were two artists named de Neuville both with the initial "A",
so that there is inevitable risk of confusion. Certainly more
than one web-site selling prints does confuse them. Happily not
only were their styles (and subjects) quite different but Alphonse
de Neuville who painted e.g. "the Defence of Rorke's Drift",
signed "A de Neuville" wheras Alfred Arthur Brunel de
Neuville signed (as here): "Brunel Neuville".
Alfred Arthur Brunel de Neuville was born in Paris and specialised
in still life paintings (many in the style of this painting) as
well as paintings of cats. His works were exhibited at the Societe
des Artistes Francais and he was elected a member of the Societe
in 1907. His works are in the collections of museums in Beziers,
Brest, Chateau Thierry and Louviers.
