Born in Frankfurt, Henri Schlesinger studied at the Fine Arts Academy in Vienna before moving to France where he resided until the end of his life. In Paris he exhibited regularly and successfully at the Salon between 1840 and 1890: this secured him a good success and visibility. He was awarded a bronze medal in 1840 and a silver medal in 1847, and he received the Legion d'Honneur in 1866.At the Salon of 1865, Schlesinger exhibited this set of five canvases, Les Cinq Sens which was then acquired by Napoléon III for his private collection for the conspicuous sum of 25,000 francs. The set was very well-received by the public and the acquisition by the Emperor received a lot of attention by the press of the time, which commented largely on the impressive display of the works which appeared framed all together and on the large sum paid for it (fig 1): 'One of the canvases in front of which the public most willingly stops is the panel composed of several compartments, in which Mr. Schlesinger has represented the Five Senses ... it reigns in all this composition a spirit and a verve of remarkable execution, and the young girls who represent the Five Senses are so harmonious, so elegant and so fresh, that we return with pleasure to this canvas, a sort of oasis amid the mediocrities of the Salon' (translated from 'Salon de 1865', La Semaine des familles: revue universelle hebdomadaire, 1865, p. 572.) In the present series of oils, two elegant and charming models are illustrating the five senses. The set was acquired by Bernard and Joyce Matthews to decorate Great Witchingham Hall, Norwich, possibly in the 1960s.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
