About the Item

Title: Avignon Watercolor of Pont Saint-Bénézet and Historic River Scene by Robert Lepine (French, 1929 - 2017) Signed: Yes Medium: Watercolor painting on artists paper Size: 13.5 x 10.75 (height x width) Provenance: From the artists atelier collection, South of France Description: This striking watercolor captures the historic Pont Saint-Bénézet, famously known as the Pont d’Avignon, spanning the Rhône River in Avignon, France. The bridge, partially ruined yet rich in history, is accompanied by the medieval chapel of Saint Nicholas, creating a dramatic and evocative composition. A traditional river barge glides beneath the stone arches, while bare trees frame the scene, enhancing the sense of depth and movement. Key features include: Pont Saint-Bénézet (Pont d’Avignon): One of France’s most iconic historic bridges, dating back to the 12th century. Medieval Chapel of Saint Nicholas: A beautifully preserved Romanesque structure that adds architectural and historical significance. Atmospheric Lighting & Reflections: The interplay of stormy skies, diffused sunlight, and shimmering water reflections adds a dramatic quality. Masterful Ink & Watercolor Detailing: The delicate inkwork highlights the stone textures, riverbank foliage, and architectural depth. A captivating tribute to Avignon’s rich medieval heritage, this painting is ideal for collectors drawn to historic landmarks, French architecture, and atmospheric river scenes.
