G VilletFrench Mid Century Oil on Canvas Equestrian Portrait1962
1962
About the Item
French Mid Century portrait of a galloping horse by Roger Villet. The painting is signed top right and there is another signature and date to the back of the canvas.
A wonderfully energetic portrait of a white horse galloping freely. The artist has manged to capture the abandon of the scene, the wind in its mane, the power of the animal, the feeling of movement. Villet has chosen to set the scene against a dark russet red background which makes the subject jump out at the viewer even more. The artist's technique, impressionistic, quick yet sure, allowing parts of the raw canvas to show through the ground colour and the use of impasto for the white gives the painting a great texture.
