Charles F. Berger
American
Charles F. Berger is an American Romanticism painter. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Painter Charles F. Berger worked small, painting intimate portraits on ivory in the 1840s. His Portrait of a Gentleman from 1843 captures a subject in a dark coat against a plain background, the fine brushwork and muted tones typical of the era’s intimate miniatures. This tiny, portable format traveled in cases and was meant to be held in the hand, not hung on a wall. See how the ivory’s natural sheen catches the light in Portrait of a Gentleman.
