Capitale & Victor ORLY gallery is located at 39 rue Paradis, a place which belongs to Marseille cultural heritage. One of the most old and well known in Provence Jouvène gallery presented artworks of Provençal painters during 150 years here.[1] In 2015, Jouvène was replaced by the Capitale & Victor ORLY gallery.
Following the traditions of Jouvène, the Capitale & Victor ORLY gallery promotes the artworks of a new generation of Provençal painters and also presents international contemporary art.[2]
An art gallery at 39 rue Paradis was established by Eugène Lambert in 1859.[1] At the beginning of its work, the gallery focused on presenting the Provençal painters artworks, first of all a group of artists led by Émile Loubon (1809–1863), later called The School of Marseille:[3] Auguste Auguier (1814–1865), Paul Guigou (1834–1871), Prosper Grésy (1801–1874), Adolphe Monticelli (1824–1886).
Along with the modern Provançal painters, the gallery exposed the works of the Barbizon school artists (Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796–1875), Eugène Boudin (1824–1898), Gustave Caillebotte (1848–1894),[1] as well as the masters of previous epochs, such as Michelangelo (1475–1564), Caravaggio (1571–1610), Murillo (1617–1682), and Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732–1806).[1]
After Eugène Lambert retired in 1923, his follower Alexandre Jouvène became the art gallery manager. In 1923 the gallery was officially named Jouvène.[1] Among other great names exhibited in the gallery during the period of 1923 - 1946, were Paul Cézanne (1839–1906), Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890), Renoir (1841–1919) Félix Ziem (1821–1911), Jean-Baptiste Olive (1848–1936), François-Marius Granet (1775–1849), Théodore Rousseau (1812–1867), James Barry (1741–1806), Joseph Suchet (1824–1896), Joseph Garibaldi (1863–1941), Louis-Léopold Boilly (1761–1845), Jean Roque (1880–1925), Louis Gustav Ricard (1823–1873), Joseph Vernet (1714–1789), Joseph Boze (1746–1826), Vincent Courdouan (1810–1893), and Pierre Puget (1620–1694).[1]
After 1946, with new managers, the Jouvène gallery continued the tradition of presenting the Provençal painters artworks. The gallery worked closely with the contemporary expressionists, such as: Georges Briata (1933–), Yvette Bonté (1925–), Raymond Garnier, François Guy (1940–), Jean-Paul Courchia (1955–).[4]
During all times, the Jouvène gallery has been a place of meetings of painters, art collectors, art critics, and journalists.
