About the Item
'Grazing Cattle in Normandy', watercolour on paper, by Genevieve Gallibert (circa 1930s). The artists captures a tranquil scene in Vallée d'Auge, Normandy, which has a typical landscape of the area known for its dairy and apples. It is particularly noted for its cheeses, especially Camembert. Behind the grazing cattle is a traditional Normand barn, now often converted to residential use. It is difficult to date the appearance of the timber framing in France, but by the fourteenth century they became widespread and were found in many regions including Normandy. This timber frame building technique minimised the use of materials, achieving a lightweight form of construction and ease of implementation.
One of the cultural close calls of the Allied Invasion of Normandy was the near-total decimation of the Normande breed of cattle. The breed was brought to northeastern France by Viking conquerors of the 9th and 10th centuries. For more than a thousand years, these cattle supported the residents with meat and milk.
The artwork is in fair overall condition and is framed and glazed. There are small traces of mould near the edges of the painting not affecting the overall outlook of the artwork. Art restorers can rectify these fairly easily. The artwork is signed by the artist in the lower left hand designating its location (Vallée d'Auge). Please enjoy the many photos accompanying the listing. Upon request a video will be provided.
