Amedee Julien Marcel-Clement
Le Pont Neuf - Impressionist Figures in Landscape Oil by Amedee Marcel-Clement

1912

About the Item

Signed and dated figures in cityscape oil on panel by French impressionist painter Amedee Marcel-Clement. The work depicts a view of the Pont Neuf bridge that runs over the River Seine in Paris, France. There is a horse and cart crossing the bridge with a small dog and a woman wrapped in a large scarf on the cobbled road in front of them. Dark figures are moving along the pavements and the shadowy outline of the city's buildings re behind them. Signature: Signed and dated 1912 lower right Dimensions: Framed: 22"x25" Unframed: 15"x18" Provenance: Private French collection Sotheby's - Paris 1998 Amedee Julien Marcel-Clement was born in Paris on 15th September, 1873. He painted various subjects including landscapes, seascapes, wildlife and Parisian scenes. In 1903 he made his debut at the Salon de la Nationale des Beaux-Arts and he continued to exhibit there and at the Salon des Independents for many years. Between 1913 and 1914 he also exhibited in England at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool and at the Royal Scottish Academy. Although Marcel-Clement resided in Paris for virtually all his life, he only painted a relatively small number of views of his native city. The majority of his works are shipping subjects off the French coast and it is for these works that he is best known. His coastal views capture the dramatic atmosphere of light emanating from the sky and bouncing off the sea. His palette is natural and he uses varied greys and blues interspersed with whites and creams to evoke the silvery quality of both sky and sea. Using simplified forms and abstracted surfaces the sails of the boats are evoked with astonishing realism. The viewer is drawn into the scene as if he were actually there.
