About the Item

Title: French Watercolor of a Sunlit Mont Saint-Michel at Low Tide by Robert Lepine (French, 1929 - 2017) Signed: Yes Medium: Watercolor painting on artists paper Size: 11.25 x 13.5 (height x width) Provenance: From the artists atelier collection, South of France Description: This stunning watercolor of Mont Saint-Michel at low tide captures the timeless beauty of one of France’s most iconic landmarks, blending delicate ink linework with expressive watercolor washes. Titled M. St. Michel – Marée Basse, this piece masterfully portrays the expansive tidal flats surrounding the medieval abbey, emphasizing the mystical, almost otherworldly presence of the island monastery. The foreground is filled with textural details of driftwood and eroded land, adding a sense of raw nature contrasting with the serene silhouette of Mont Saint-Michel in the distance. The artist’s skillful use of subtle earth tones and cool blues conveys the movement of water retreating across the vast sandy plains, leading the eye toward the island’s imposing structure. Above, a dramatic sky looms, with deep blues and greys suggesting the changing moods of the coastal weather. The interplay of light and shadow enhances the atmospheric depth, while delicate pen work brings sharp definition to the monastery’s Gothic spires. This artwork perfectly encapsulates the grandeur and isolation of Mont Saint-Michel at low tide, making it a mesmerizing addition to any collection celebrating French landscapes, historic architecture, or coastal scenery.
