Title: French Watercolor of Château de Chenonceau: Perspective from the Northeast by Robert Lepine (French, 1929 - 2017) Signed: Yes Medium: Watercolor painting on artists paper, unframed Size: 14.25 x 20 (height x width) Condition: Good. Provenance: From the artists atelier collection, South of France Description: This stunning watercolor captures the iconic Château de Chenonceau, gracefully spanning the River Cher with its elegant arches. Renowned as one of the most enchanting castles in France, this architectural marvel is rendered in exquisite detail, from its Renaissance-inspired façade to the reflection on the river below. The artist skillfully balances light and shadow, accentuating the castle's majesty and the serene waterscape. Key features include: Historic Significance: Chenonceau, often referred to as the "Ladies' Château," is celebrated for its rich history and association with prominent figures like Catherine de' Medici and Diane de Poitiers. Architectural Precision: The depiction of the arches, turrets, and intricate windows highlights the artist's attention to detail. Reflection on Water: The mirrored image of the château in the River Cher adds depth and tranquility to the composition. Autumnal Atmosphere: Subtle touches of fall foliage lend warmth and contrast to the cool tones of the sky and water. This painting would be a cherished addition for collectors drawn to French châteaux, historical architecture, or scenic landscapes.
