About the Item
*Dimensions include the frame
This oil on canvas by Louis Jacques Vigon captures the essence of Impressionism, a movement originating in France in the 1860s. Impressionism is characterized by small, thin, yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities, and the inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience. Vigon’s painting, with its soft, dappled brushwork and light pastel tones, embodies these qualities, portraying a serene seascape with a tranquil sky above.
The scene is likely en plein air, a common practice among Impressionists who painted outdoors to capture the natural light and its effects on the landscape. The sky, a tapestry of muted grays and yellows, suggests a setting or rising sun, while the cliffs provide a dark contrast, anchoring the composition.
Vigon’s work echoes the techniques of renowned Impressionists like Claude Monet, whose representations of light on water are iconic, and Camille Pissarro, known for his rural and urban French landscapes. Edgar Degas’ influence can be subtly felt in the composition’s framing and viewpoint. This painting invites the viewer to pause and reflect, much like the meditative quality found in Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s works. The painting stands as a testament to the enduring influence of Impressionism, which reshaped the boundaries and perceptions of art.

- Orientalist Beach Scene, Chenoua Plage, Algerie, Oil On Canvas.Located in Cotignac, FRAn Orientalist beach scene of the coast of Algeria at Chenoua by French painter Gustave Lino. The painting is signed, located and dated bottom left. Presented in a plain gilt frame. A charming and atmospheric view of a day at the beach. The revellers are enjoying bathing in the Mediterranean, resting under their colourful parasols against the sun and exploring the far off rocks of the cove. The sea gently lapping against the rocks at the shore. A small row boat ready for an excursion. Lino has beautifully captured the feeling of joy and fun that a day at the beach brings. Gustave Lino was born in 1893 in Mulhouse, France. At the age of twenty, he went to Marseille, discovered Provence and the Mediterranean. He was already interested in painting and art from numerous visits to the museum of his hometown, but he had not yet followed any training in this field. In Marseille, far from home and idle, he decides, almost on a whim, to travel to Algiers, without really knowing what he will discover there. He embarked for Algiers at the age of 19 in 1912. He exhibited with his friends Romeo Charles Aglietti in 1914 at 'Herero' in Algiers. Unfortunately in 1914 in Corsica in Ajaccio, being of German nationality and Mulhouse being part of the German Empire since 1871, he was interned as a 'civilian'. He spent the First World War in the Isle of Beauty but spent his time wisely developing his artistic skills. He realised many paintings as well as the historical decorations of the Solferino Hotel in Ajaccio and the religious decorations of the castle of Malaspena-Massa in Belgodère. In December 1918, he returned to Algiers where he was a pupil of Georges-Antoine Rochegrosse. He exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1926 and at the Danton gallery, rue La Boétie in 1927. He settled permanently in Algiers and then in Bou-Saada. Back in Algeria, he took a close interest in the painting of Albert Marquet, which particularly seduced him and with whom he became a close friend. The transparent sharpness, this harmony of lines and tones becomes his ideal of perfection. He specialised in Algerian seascapes and landscapes, a colourist above all. Becoming an adopted member of the group called "Painters of Poetic Reality" (with Jean...Category
