Francis Sachy "Church in Andorra" oil on canvas signed

Francis Sachy is a French painter born in Roye, in the Somme, in 1953. A Picard artist, he set up his studio in Saint-Sauveur, near Amiens. His first gallery exhibition dates back to 1978, at the Galerie des Beaux-Arts in Amiens. He has since exhibited notably in Paris, Alençon, Saint-Quentin, and Deauville. His painting is figurative, in a post-impressionist or regional impressionist vein, with a preference for the landscapes of Picardy, the Bay of Somme, undergrowth, views of Amiens, and landscapes encountered during travels. He has also painted bouquets, portraits, and several landscapes from Morocco or other regions. His public exhibitions seem to have stopped in 2017. The work represents a Romanesque church in a mountainous landscape of Andorra. The painting is worked with generous material and beautiful impasto, particularly in the vegetation, the stones of the church, and the path in the foreground. Oil on canvas. Signed Sachy in the bottom right. Titled and dated on the back: "Église Andorre – 2001" Dimensions: 33 × 41 cm.
