Measurements: 79 x 66 cm.; 100 x 87 cm.(frame).
Federico Brandt was a versatile artist, but where his most special sensitivity would become evident would be in the painting of domestic interiors. Here we have an outstanding example of his ability to compose intimate, intimate atmospheres. This interior tells us much, with great economy of means, about the people who live in it: their religiosity, their high social status and their refined but not ostentatious taste. A Persian rug is cut out of the frame, which offers a partial view of two rooms: a leather upholstered chair, a devotional painting with a baroque frame... everything is depicted with careful drawing and an accurate, post-Cezannian colour treatment. A small icon rests on a Louis XVI style hall table, illuminated by two candlesticks.
Federico Brandt began painting in 1896 as a pupil in Arturo Michelena's studio. Brandt then attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Caracas, where he was a pupil of the painters Emilio Mauri and Antonio Herrera Toro. In 1899 he received his first academic recognition: he won the Painting Prize of the Academy of Fine Arts of Caracas. The prize consisted of a scholarship to study in Europe. In Paris he attended classes at the private academies "La Colarosi" and "La Grande Chaumiere" and was enrolled in the course of Jean-Paul Laurens and studied with the great painter Antonio de la Gandara. As a student he spent some time in Belgium and painted his first Impressionist-influenced works in Bruges in 1903. In 1913 and 1914 two important exhibitions were held at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in which Federico Brandt took part, and he continued to execute commissions for El Cojo Ilustrado, now depicting the tragedies of the First World War. In 1922 Brandt travelled to the United States and, together with Luis Alfredo López Méndez, also a Venezuelan painter, painted the docks of New York. Back in Venezuela, in 1925 he began a new series of landscapes, this time of the Izcaragua hacienda near the capital. In 1928 he painted the surroundings of his brother Alfredo's residence, the Quinta de la Casona. His first individual exhibition was held at the Ateneo de Caracas the year after his death. In 1950 the Museo de Bellas Artes in Caracas presented an exhibition of works by Brandt and his daughters, Julia and Mary. An exhibition was also organised at the Sala Mendoza in 1956, a general retrospective of his work at the Museo de Bellas Artes in 1972, and at the Galería de Arte Nacional in Caracas in 1978.
