Description: This evocative watercolour by Pierre Neveu captures the timeless beauty of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, one of the most enchanting villages on the French Riviera, situated between Menton and Monaco. Framed by stone walls and flowering terraces, the scene opens toward the glittering blue of the Mediterranean Sea — a perfect study in contrast between architectural shadow and coastal light.
Neveu’s brushwork combines precision with atmosphere: earthy ochres and siennas describe the narrow passageways, while delicate washes of turquoise and cobalt signal the horizon beyond. A single lantern, perched against the rock face, draws the eye outward to the expanse of sea and sky, embodying the painter’s sensitivity to light, perspective, and silence.
Executed with confident spontaneity, this study reveals Neveu’s distinctive plein-air method — sketching directly from life and allowing colour to dictate composition. The resulting image captures not only place, but the feeling of Mediterranean stillness, where warmth, sea air, and history meet.
A masterful example of mid-century French landscape painting, this piece situates Neveu among the great interpreters of southern light. It stands as a poetic record of a quiet street in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, where every brushstroke conveys the harmony of stone, sun, and sea.
