French Vintage Landscape Painting with Cathedral
$895.0025.50"H x 32"W x 1"D
Dimensions: 25 ½” H x 32”W x 1”D
This French early 20th century oil on linen painting illustrates a rustic landscape with a dirt road in the foreground leading the eye through the treeline to a cathedral just beyond. The rocky outcropping benefits from the artist’s impasto technique of thick brushstrokes in a hazy palette with the trees more finely rendered. These organic textures of the scene draws the viewer in for a closer look, as if one can touch and feel the trees and earth. Signed to the lower left and sold unframed, there is some loss of pigment around the edges. We believe this item to be in good antique condition considering its age. Please view the detailed image gallery for the current condition and message us with any questions.

French Vintage Framed Landscape Painting
$2,200.0020.13"H x 42.38"W x 2"D
Dimensions: 20 ⅛” H x 42 ⅜” W x 2” D
A charming vintage French landscape painting, elongated to a wide panorama, to appreciate the unspoiled beauty of the Ain countryside (Ain is a department in Eastern France). In the center of the frame one sees where a mother, two children, a goat and perhaps the grandmother are walking a dirt path through a clearing in the tree line. Gently rolling hills and pastures are seen toward the background under thin cloudcover. The framed work includes a small plaque dedicated to a Madame Juillet for her work with Children’s Mutual. Please view the detailed images to see the current condition and exceptional talent of the artist.

French Vintage Framed Painting of a Cross
$250.0011"H x 9.88"W x 0.88"D
Dimensions: 11” H x 9 ⅞” W x ⅞” D
A petite French vintage cityscape painting on panel of a large cross in the center of an unidentified Iberian town, the artist’s colorful technique abstracts the perspective to say for sure where and when. The tight composition might be depicting a stop on the Camino de Santiago, the pilgrimage route through Spain, as the viewer can observe a figure leaning against the base of the monument–its elaborate field cross towering above–and modest buildings of terracotta roofs lining the roadway. Set within a narrow frame of mottled color and texture, ready to hang in your interior. Please view the detailed images to see the current condition.
