Oil on canvas – Provençal village and lavender field – Late 20th century

Beautiful oil on canvas depicting a southern village bathed in light, viewed from a vast lavender field. The rows of lavender in the foreground, treated in a succession of purple, blue, green, and ochre tones, structure the composition and naturally lead the eye towards the village. The artist captures with great freedom the houses with red tiled roofs and the silhouette of the village dominated by a tall tower. The brushwork is lively and expressive, with a particularly bright and colourful palette, giving the whole a warm atmosphere typical of landscapes in the South. A figurative painting of character, created in a free and spontaneous style, straddling post-impressionism and expressionism, characteristic of a certain regional painting from the late 20th century. Artwork: 46 × 38 cm. Dimensions with frame: 49.5 × 57.5 cm. Beautiful gilded wooden frame. A lovely piece for lovers of Provençal landscapes, lavender fields, villages in the South, and French painting from the late 20th century.
