About the Item

Title: Brittany Watercolor of Saint-Marie du Menez-Hom Church with Breton Woman by Robert Lepine (French, 1929 - 2017) Signed: Yes Medium: Watercolor painting on artists paper Size: 11.25 x 15 (height x width) Provenance: From the artists atelier collection, South of France Description: This captivating watercolor presents a charming portrayal of Saint-Marie du Menez-Hom, an ancient church in Brittany, France, set amidst gnarled trees, winding roads, and rich historical textures. A traditional Breton woman, dressed in a deep blue regional costume and lace bonnet, spins wool in the foreground, adding a layer of cultural depth and nostalgia to the composition. Key features include: Historic Brittany Church: Saint-Marie du Menez-Hom is a well-preserved 16th-century church, known for its Gothic and Renaissance architecture, nestled in the heart of Brittany. Intricate Architectural Details: The weathered stonework, stained glass, and carved wooden door are beautifully depicted, showcasing the artist’s keen attention to historical craftsmanship. Cultural Narrative: The Breton woman’s attire and activity reflect the traditional way of life in rural France, adding a rich cultural and historical element to the artwork. Moody & Atmospheric Scene: The muted color palette, overcast sky, and twisted trees create a timeless, almost mystical ambiance, making this an evocative and storytelling piece. A unique blend of history, architecture, and traditional Breton life, this watercolor is a perfect addition for collectors who appreciate French heritage, historic churches, and regional artistry.
