About the Item

Title: French Watercolor Painting of “Pin en Gemmage” in Forested Dunes by Robert Lepine (French, 1929 - 2017) Signed: Yes Medium: Watercolor painting on artists paper, unframed Size: 14.25 x 10.25 (height x width) Condition: Very good. Provenance: From the artists atelier collection, South of France Description: This evocative watercolor depicts the traditional practice of "Pin en Gemmage", the harvesting of resin from pine trees, set amidst the serene beauty of a forested dune landscape. The composition is dominated by a weathered pine tree with a collection cup attached to its bark, framed by lush undergrowth and other tall trees. In the background, a wooden staircase rises steeply up the dunes, adding depth and context to the scene. Key features include: Pin en Gemmage: A centuries-old resin harvesting tradition in France, particularly associated with the Landes region, where pine forests are abundant. Forested Dunes: The interplay of natural elements, from dense greenery to sandy hills, captures the essence of a quiet and timeless landscape. Rustic Charm: The detailed depiction of the tree’s textures and the resin collection apparatus reflects the artist’s appreciation for traditional practices and natural beauty. Atmosphere: The muted tones and delicate brushstrokes convey a tranquil and meditative mood, inviting viewers to reflect on the harmony of human activity and nature. This painting is a beautiful tribute to traditional French forestry and the serene landscapes of the dunes, making it an excellent addition to collections focused on nature or cultural heritage.
