Provenance: Collection of Rudolf Philip Goldschmidt (c. 1840-1914), Berlin, Lugt 2926; Sale Kunstauktionen Prestel, Frankfurt/Main, 4/5.10.1917; no. 706; ill. pl. 90; Sale Kunstauktionen Prestel, 1929, no. 649, ill. pl. 24; Sale, Karl & Faber, Munich, Auktion 58, 7/8.12.1956.; Collection of Philipp Herrmann (1899-1968) Karlsruhe, Lugt 1352a.
Born in Berlin to French parents, Charles Hoguet moved to Paris in 1839 to study with the landscape painter Bertin, who had also been the master of Corot, as well as with the Barbizon painter Eugène Cicéri, and finally with Louis-Gabriel-Eugène Isabey, a landscapist and one of the leading proponents of Romantic school.
In 1833 Paganini settled in Paris. Following the failure of the Casino Paganini, a gambling house in which he had invested, he went to Marseille late in 1839, then to Nice. It is likely that the present portrait, though undated, was accomplished from life during this year.
Hoguet was known primarily as a painter of landscape and genre scenes. Even after the 1850s, while Courbet lead French landscape painting towards greater Realism, Hoguet continued to work in a more Romantic vein, giving his work greater affinities with that of Diaz, Corot, and the first generation of Barbizon painters than to that of his more Realist contemporaries. He exhibited his landscape scenes at the Paris Salon from 1842 to 1853, medalling at the Salon of 1848, a year notable for the dominance of the Barbizon School. After 1848 he continued exhibiting in Berlin, where he medalled in 1859, and gained membership to the Berlin Academy in 1869. His work may be seen in the collections of the Berlin Nationalgalerie; Breslau; Hamburger Kunsthalle; Königsberg; Leipzig; Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Lübeck; Musée Fabre, Montpellier; Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow.
