La Bastide et le Champ de Coquelicots, Provence, French Rural Scene by JP George

1969

About the Item

French 1960's gouache and watercolour view of a Provencale bastide, its surrounding farm, countryside and fields of poppies, by J P George. Signed and Dated bottom right. A super charming and colourful scene of French rural life. George has painted in a naive way reminiscent of folk art. It is in the style of his contemporary Yves Brayer who captured the countryside and rural scenes, such as this, in his beloved South of France. The touches of colour throughout representing the fields of poppies, the roof tops and the tractor move the eye through the composition. The Cyprus and other trees also give a rhythm to the scene enhanced by the charming animals, sheep, sheep dog, horse and of course the shepherd or 'berger'. Monet was also fascinated by the colour of poppies in the landscape and used them in his compositions of the 1880's

  • Gentlemen at the Races, Point to Pointing
    By Sir Alfred James Munnings
    Located in Cotignac, FR
    Early 20th century watercolour of a gentleman on horseback with other riders in the background apparently signed or titled 'Count A de Monthaus'. Signed or titled bottom left. Presented in fine period gilt frame under glass. The artist has captured a moment of pause, the gentlemen rider in his fine clothes and bowler hat regarding his surroundings as his fellow riders continue the chase behind him, possibly a 'point to point'. Monthaus has captured the stance of the standing horse as well as the movement of the other horses. He has used white to give light and definition to the costume of the rider and the background. A lovely atmospheric and dynamic watercolour very much of its period and in the spirit of equine portraiture made famous by the likes of Sir Alfred Munnings. Sir Alfred James Munnings, KCVO PRA RI (8 October 1878 – 17 July 1959) was known as one of England's finest painters of horses, and as an outspoken critic of Modernism. Engaged by Lord Beaverbrook's Canadian War...
