About the Item

Title: French Village Landscape with Church and Farmland Bourgogne Watercolor Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929) Medium: Watercolour on paper, unframed Size (H x W): 19.75 x 25.5 inches Signed lower right P Neveu. Inscribed verso with what appears to be a location note, possibly Narcy, France Condition: Good overall condition. Light handling marks and gentle undulations to the paper consistent with age and medium. No major losses or damage observed. Provenance: From the artist’s studio sale in France; all works by this artist in our collection originate from the artist’s estate. Description: This evocative French landscape by Pierre Neveu captures the quiet rhythms of rural village life, likely depicting the countryside around Narcy in the Bourgogne region of central France. A low horizon line stretches across cultivated fields, punctuated by a cluster of village rooftops and a slender church spire rising subtly against a softly layered sky. The composition conveys both openness and distance, drawing the viewer’s eye gently through the landscape. Neveu’s confident use of watercolour and gouache creates a nuanced interplay between structure and atmosphere. Broad washes of muted greys, ochres, and soft greens establish the expansive farmland, while darker ink and brush lines articulate architectural forms and hedgerows with clarity and restraint. The sky, rendered in translucent veils of colour, lends the scene a contemplative, almost timeless quality. The verso bears an inscription that appears to reference Narcy, a rural commune in France, adding an additional layer of geographic interest and authenticity. Works such as this exemplify Neveu’s enduring fascination with compositional balance and the poetic possibilities of the French landscape. Pierre Neveu was a well-established Post-Impressionist painter who exhibited widely across France, including at the Salon d’Automne and the Salon of French Artists, where he later became President of the painting section. His works are held in private collections and are increasingly sought after for their expressive colour, assured draughtsmanship, and strong sense of place. An excellent acquisition for collectors of mid-century French landscape painting, regional French village scenes, or works on paper that combine painterly freedom with architectural clarity.

Mid-20th Century Watercolor of Trees in a French Landscape, Framed

Mid-20th Century Watercolor of Trees in a French Landscape, Framed

Located in Cotignac, FR

A French watercolour on paper landscape by Roger Decaux. The work is signed and dated (as yet undeciphered) bottom right. Presented in a wood frame with cut card mount. A fresh and charming view of trees in a landscape. Decaux has used simple, fluid but strong strokes for this composition. One can feel the influence of 'abstraction of form' that was a part of his later work. The eye is drawn from the trees to the surrounding fields, the touches of colour to the right and then to the silhouette of the hills beyond. The use of watercolour at its best. Roger DECAUX was born in 1919 in Dombasle sur Meurthe in the Lorraine. He studied art in Paris with Gino Severini and Jan Brusselmans...
