20th Century French Oil Painting A Beach in the South of France

late 20th century

About the Item

A Beach in the South of France French School, mid-late 20th century unsigned oil painting on canvas textured paper (reverse side is smooth, the painted side looks and feels as canvas), unframed overall 9 x 15 inches We adore the colours in this very loosely painted scene of a beach strewn with stones and old wooden posts where perhaps a mooring platform once stood. There is an indication the weather was changing as the artist painted this scene, the sea retains its vibrant blue which we are used to seeing in the South of France but there is a darker swell in the water indicating stormier weather was rolling in. This painting is from a small collection of work by the same hand, all on the same canvas-textured heavyweight paper. They were purchased by us in France and the scenes all seem to be be from the South of France and Provence. They very much feel as if they were painted "en plein air" as the artist has captured the scene with a very fresh breezy feel to the colours and texture. All are unsigned, are very good quality by an accomplished hand, bear good bright colour and are very clean. The ideal way to display would be to affix it to board and frame it. Condition report: Very clean, stored by the artist for some time we believe. The paint is applied thickly in places, giving a great depth of texture and movement. Small pinholes to the extreme four corners where the artist affixed it to a board loosely to paint the image.

    Leo Mechelaere Bruges, Belgium 1880 – 1964 Erlangen, Germany Belgian Painter 'Swans of Bruges – Beguinage Bridge' Signature: Signed bottom left Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: Image size 65 x 75 cm Provenance: Painting "Swans of Bruges" was exhibited at Salon des Artistes Indépendants Normands in Rouen, France on June 7th, 1956. Biography: Leo Mechelaere, or Leon Mechelaere as he was sometimes known, emerged from the cobblestone streets of Bruges, Belgium, in 1880, destined to leave an indelible mark on the canvas of art history. Born into a world of rich cultural heritage and artistic inspiration, Mechelaere’s passion for painting ignited early, fueling a lifelong journey of creative exploration. His formative years were steeped in the traditions of the Academy of Fine Arts in Bruges, where he honed his craft under the tutelage of esteemed masters. Among them, Edouard Van Hove (1851 – 1913) and Franz Courtens (1850 – 1943) imparted their wisdom, guiding Mechelaere’s hand as he navigated the intricacies of form, light, and color. Under the mentorship of Juliaan De Vriendt...
