Original Haitian Painting in acrylic on Canvas by the deceased artist Ismael Saincilus. Scene shows a Major Jonc twirling a baton. The Painting is 16″ x 12″ and is professionally beautifully framed for an overall dimension of 21″ x 16.5″. The painting is in excellent condition. Petite Rivière de l’Artibonite, Haiti, b. 2000 Saincilus Ismael was born in Petite Riviere de l’Artibonite, Haiti. He began to paint in 1958, after visiting the Centre d’Art in Port-au-Prince. In 1967, he was one of a group of artists commissioned to paint the community exhibition hall at Deschapelles. His work bears the influence of Byzantine art he saw in books. Like Gerard Valcin, a Haitian painter who was a tile setter before turning to art, Ismael pays attention to details, a precise, almost manufactured-looking perfection that serves to enhance his subjects. He later became director of the ceramics center in Deschapelles. Painters Michel-Ange Altidort and Carlo Jean Baptiste were among his students. Ismael’s paintings, rendered with the intricacy of a Byzantine icon, are instantly recognizable. He painted scenes of Haitian peasant life, as well as religous-themed paintings that often mixed or combined Christianity and Vaudou.
