About the Item
Paul-Emile lecomte (1877-1950)
Landscape of a valley between Cannes and Grasse (South of France)
Signed lower right
watercolor on paper
25.8 x 33.9 cm
in a vintage frame : 33 x 41.4 cm
Titled and situated on the back of the framing, label of the gallery Le Goupy (active in Paris from 1919 to 1929) see picture
The indications on the back of the frame give two important pieces of information about this beautiful watercolour.
Firstly, its location "Between Cannes and Grasse", i.e. in the hinterland of the French Riviera, and indeed we can recognise luminous landscapes still untouched by urbanisation.
The other piece of information is its provenance, which allows us to date the work from the 1920s, as the Galerie Le Goupy was only active at that time.
The composition is very pure, giving pride of place to the sky, which is enhanced by the light silhouette of the tree. The touch of red on the roof of the Provençal farmhouse subtly balances the overall effect with the tiny silhouette on the back, which, in a very classical way, emphasises the smallness of human activity on the scale of nature.
Paul Emile Lecomte (1877– 1950). Painter of watercolors and oil paintings, etcher, and engraver. He was the pupil of Fernand Cormon and of his uncle Paul Lecomte. He became Offical Painter of the French Navy in 1921.
He painted at the beginning of his career in the same style as his famous uncle, Paul Lecomte (1842-1920) . His first works are often attributed falsely to him as their signature can be confounded. But he soon developped his own style, of which this work is a very good example.
