French School, Hillside Town, Oil Painting on Board, midcentury

A midcentury oil painting, depicting a hillside town with a cathedral in the background, and a bridge and river in the foreground. With compelling historical architectural elements in the church and cathedral or the shape of the bridge, this work portrays a characteristic hillside French town in a pleasurable and evocative way. It features a warm palette of yellow, green, and blue that blends the sand-coloured stone of the buildings with the trees.. Finally, the reflection of the town in the water is rendered with hazy brushstrokes that contrast beautifully with the bold lines and colour blocks of the background. This vibrant work is mounted in a light pine frame and signed R. Floc’h.
