MICHEL BOUILLON (ERE ?-APRÈS 1670 TOURNAI)
Nature morte aux fleurs, fruits et légumes, avec au centre l'ivresse de Bacchus
Reçu franc-maître à la guilde de Saint-Luc de Tournai en 1638, Michel Bouillon (?-après 1670) participa en 1670 aux décorations de l'entrée solennelle du roi Louis XIV dans cette même ville. Peintre de fleurs, de fruits et de natures mortes avec gibier, les cartouches fleuris réunissant fleurs, fruits et légumes du tableau ci-présent relèvent d'un certain archaïsme et témoignent de son attachement à la tradition flamande.

Français
Le tableau a fait l'objet d'un rentoilage ancien, un peu fort. Néanmoins, le tableau conserve de belles vibrations.
A l'oeil nu, on constate des soulèvements dans certaines parties sombres. Il s'agit probablement de vieux repeints qui se soulèvent. Le tableau est encrassé. On constate également deux enfoncements à gauche, vers le haut.
A l'UV, le tableau apparaît sous un vernis vert épais uniforme. On constate quelques anciens repeints sur la partie gauche de l'oeuvre. Le vernis dissimule probablement d'anciennes campagnes de restauration.
Dans un cadre à motifs d'acanthes et de coquillages (approx. 120 x 110 cm.).
English
The painting has been subject to an ancient relining, slightly firm, but the painting still offers a vibrant material.
To the naked eye, we can see some uplifting in some dark areas. Those are probably ancient repainted areas. The painting carries some dirt. two dips are noticeable in the upper left part.
Ultraviolet examination reveals an even surface green, thick layer of varnish. Some ancient repainted areas are noticeable in the left part of the painting. The varnish layer precludes a more in depth examination of ancient restoration campaigns.
In a frame with acanthus and shells motifs (approx. 120 x 110 cm.).
