Alfred Charles Weber
Biography
Details of the life of Alfred Charles Weber are sketchy but despite his clear German origins his work as we know it sets him squarely in the French School of the late 19th Century.
Clearly schooled to the highest standards in drawing available to scholars of the Belle Époque period Weber subscribes to the figurative tradition and produced a considerable body of work predominantly in oil on panel with the occasional watercolour.
As with his contemporaries Brunery, Vibert and Marias-Milton Weber achieved recognition with his highly finished interiors often depicting the Lords of the Catholic Church at unexpected pursuits which become highly fashionable with the collecting cognoscenti generally and with the Americans in particular and a large number of his works found their way to America at this period and frequently appear on the art market there these days and are still sought after today.
Titles of works include ‘Cardinals drinking Champagne’ and ‘Musical Cardinal playing the Lute’. The art gallery in La Harve, Holland holds a work entitled ‘Portrait of my Brother’.
