French Vintage Naïeve Oil on Canvas Painting

Dimensions: 19 ¾” H x 27 ½”W x 1”D
This French early 20th century oil on canvas painting illustrates a modest stone homestead with terracotta roof in a pastoral landscape below an orange tree. The artist’s technique of thin brushstrokes to build layers of nuanced color adds organic texture to the scene, as if one can touch and feel the trees and earth, drawing the viewer in for a closer look. Written on either side of the door is “vale” and “vade” which might be from Latin (and subsequent Romance languages) as a kind of well-wishing/goodbye. Faint signature and date to the lower right. Sold unframed, wired on the back to hang as-is. Please view the detailed images to see the current condition as they are an essential part of the description.

A mid-20th century French oil on canvas painting of assorted red apples and green pears on a fabric draped table, the composition is a modern and fresh interpretation of a classic still-life arrangement.

Six chandelier-base light bulbs illuminate the fixture. Professionally cleaned and rewired to US electrical standards using UL-listed parts, ready to install in your interior.
