Gouache signed Pierre Eugène Montézin (20th century)

Pierre eugène montézin, french painter, born in october 1874 in paris – died in july 1946, is a post-impressionist painter. Superb original gouache on paper signed lower right, framed and under glass. Houses by the river. After beginning his career as a muralist, he was influenced very early by the heritage of impressionist painters and began painting outdoor landscapes. At the age of 17, he decided to devote himself to his passion: landscape painting. A talented self-taught artist, he is not attached to any workshop. A true lover of nature, he developed exceptional talent as a landscaper thanks to a keen sense of observation. Made aware from his childhood by his father, a great enthusiast of fishing and hunting. During his escapades around paris, he discovered the countryside landscapes and walked along the rivers, where he felt in communion with nature. Strongly influenced by monet, montézin excels in painting with a lively touch that seems to make the canvas vibrate. His touch is made up of successive layers which intermingle with each other and create a sensation of movement. Montézin's painting enjoyed great success. His technique, a distant heritage of impressionism, seduces with its virtuosity. In perfect condition, just a lack of gilding on one corner of the frame.
