Dog Painting: "Portrait of a Chihuahua with Red Bow"
Zacharias Noterman (Belgium, France 1824-1890)
Circa. 1870s
Oil on wood panel (mahogany)
Original stucco and gilt frame
13 1/2 x 9 1/2 (22 1/4 x 18 1/4 frame) inches
With the charming dog's undeniable presence, askance gaze along with the loose, open brushwork, this piece looks strikingly similar that of the work of Édouard Manet (Paris, 1832 - 1883). The similarities most come to mind when considering most notably the painting "Chez Tortoni" circa 1875 (10 14 x 13 3/8 in.) which was stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in 1990. Both Manet and Noterman were creatures of the Parisian art world during throughout their respective lives and careers, it's not too much of a stretch to think they had been acquainted. More importantly, that Manet was such a luminary and was instrumental in the radical changes to Modern art in Paris in the later 19th century, Noterman would have undoubtedly been familiar with Manet and his ground=breaking painting style.
Zacharias Notermann (1820 in Ghent – 1890 in Paris) was a Belgian painter and printmaker who specialized in scenes with monkeys engaging in human activities (the so-called singeries), as well as in paintings of dogs. He also produced images and scenes of traveling circuses.
Zacharias Noterman was born in Ghent in the family as the son of an artist-decorator. He was originally trained by his older brother Emmanuel Noterman, genre and animal painter active in Antwerp. Noterman continued his art education at the Academy of fine arts Antwerp. Zacharie Noterman lived with his brother in Antwerp. Later he moved to Paris where he showed his work at the salon. His last participation at the Paris modern salon with 1879 and 1880.
Noted for painting mainly scenes with animals including portraits of dogs and cats, Noterman was particularly interested in the subject of singeries, which are humoristic paintings and etchings of monkeys engaging in human activities. The monkeys in the scenes are often dressed in costumes which adds comedy to their 'aping' of a specific human action (often a vice such as smoking or gambling) or occupation such as a dentist, lawyer, painter, art critic, etc. Noterman's work shows a growing interest in realism in painting in Belgium. In particular, his singeries were very popular and between 1863 and 1866 he was commissioned by the publisher Cadart in Paris, to make three original etchings on this subject.
His work can be found in several museum collections such as the Netherlands Institute of Art History, National Museum of Canada, British Museum, etc.
