cLau<strong>de</strong> JosePh fraichot<br />

Besançon 1732 – 1803<br />

Nature morte au melon, raisins, pêche sur entablement <strong>de</strong> marbre<br />

Still life with grapes, melon, <strong>and</strong> peach on a marble plate<br />

Huile sur toile.<br />

Oil on canvas.<br />

65 x 81 cm. Encadré. 25 9 /16 x 31 7 /8 in. Framed.<br />

Par la poétique simplicité <strong>de</strong> sa composition et par son exécution discrète, cette nature<br />

morte peut-être rapprochée <strong>de</strong>s œuvres que l’on rassemble sous le nom <strong>de</strong> Clau<strong>de</strong><br />

Joseph Fraichot et qui lui reviennent, ainsi possiblement qu’à son père Jean, son frère<br />

Jean-Pierre, et d’autres membres <strong>de</strong> sa famille. Il est probable que tous travaillaient<br />

dans le même esprit, proche d’ailleurs <strong>de</strong> celui d’un autre artiste bisontin, François<br />

Vispré, parti par la suite s’installer en Angleterre.<br />

In the poetic simplicity of its composition <strong>and</strong> its sober execution, this still life compares<br />

to the works attributed to Clau<strong>de</strong> Joseph Fraichot <strong>and</strong> may be given to him, but also to<br />

his father Jean, his brother Jean-Pierre <strong>and</strong> other members of his family. It is likely that<br />

they all worked in the same style which is also close to that of another Besançon artist,<br />

Fraçois Vispré, who later moved to Engl<strong>and</strong>.<br />
