About the Item

Title: View of Châteauneuf Landscape Provence Watercolour French Post Impressionist Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929) Medium: Watercolour on artists paper, unframed Size (H x W): 5 x 7 inches Signed: inscribed lower right Vue de Châteauneuf Condition: Good overall with light handling to the sheet edges and the natural deckle of the paper; colours remain fresh and surface is sound, consistent with age. Provenance: From the artist’s studio sale in France; all works by this artist in our collection originate from the artist’s estate. Description: A captivating watercolour by Pierre Neveu, titled Vue de Châteauneuf, depicting a picturesque Provençal village framed by foliage and bathed in Mediterranean light. The composition draws the viewer’s eye through the overhanging branches in the foreground to a cluster of pale stone buildings and a church tower with terracotta roofs, nestled amidst the rolling green hills of southern France. Neveu’s skillful layering of translucent washes creates a sense of depth and movement, while his lively brushwork and interplay of light and shadow give the scene an almost musical rhythm. The artist’s use of fresh greens, soft blues and warm earth tones captures the essence of the French countryside in summer—vivid yet tranquil. This work perfectly encapsulates the Post-Impressionist tradition Neveu was known for, balancing structural drawing with expressive, spontaneous mark-making. Collectors of French landscape painting and lovers of Provençal art will find this piece both evocative and timeless. Pierre Neveu (b.1929) studied at the École Boulle and the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris before becoming Professor of Drawing for the City of Paris. He exhibited widely at the Salon d’Automne and the Salon des Artistes Français and is celebrated for his ability to distil atmosphere, architecture, and emotion into his landscapes. This original unframed watercolour is a lyrical and intimate view of Châteauneuf—an enduring testament to Neveu’s mastery of light and place.
