Léon Georges CALVES (1848–1923) A Seed Sowing in Champagne Oil on canvas, signed lower right Canvas: 151 x 241 cm Frame: 189 x 245 cm (Damage and restorations) History: Léon Georges Calvès (1848–1924) was a French painter trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. A student of Daubigny, Boulanger, and Guillaumet, he made his debut at the 1870 Salon, where he initially exhibited watercolors before turning to oil painting. He specialized in depicting rural scenes, countryside landscapes, and farm work, with a particular focus on draft horses. His style follows in the tradition of the masters of the Barbizon School, such as Troyon and Millet, combining naturalistic precision, a keen sense of light, and a deep attachment to rural life. The painting we are presenting was exhibited at the 1880 Salon and listed as No. 595 in the Salon catalog.
