About the Item

This charming carnival scene by Charles Leroux, a 20th-century French painter, offers a beautiful glimpse into the joy and spirit of French cultural life. The painting, with its lively depiction of a festive gathering, is a wonderful example of the Impressionist style, capturing the moment's energy and atmosphere through vibrant brushstrokes and a soft, dynamic use of color. The blurring of figures and motion creates a sense of movement, making the viewer feel as though they are a part of the celebration. The piece also carries significant decorative appeal. The rich colors and detailed composition invite a closer look, while the ornate golden frame adds an air of elegance, making it a stunning focal point in any room. It brings warmth and a sense of joy to the space, evoking the happiness of a shared celebration. Additionally, owning a work by a French painter from this period, especially one who embraces the legacy of Impressionism, is an opportunity to hold a piece of art history. The universal theme of community and celebration in this artwork makes it resonate on a personal and emotional level, offering a timeless connection to the viewer. The painting is framed in a new hand-made Impressionist style frame.

Pietro Sansalvadore was active during the early to middle of the 20th century. He painted in an Impressionist manner and on a small scale.

Funfair - 1950's French Expressionist Mid Century Oil on Canvas Painting
Located in Sevenoaks, GB
A wonderful 1950's French expressionist oil on canvas depicting figures at a busy funfair, by Parisian artist André Beaucé. Excellent quality work painted with thick impasto brush work. Signed lower centre. Artist: André Beaucé (French, 1911-1974) Title: Funfair Medium: Oil on canvas Size: 25.5 x 21 inches (65 x 54 cm) André Beaucé was a French painter born on May 23, 1911 in Rennes and died on January 2, 1974 in Paris . A pupil of the School of Fine Arts in Rennes, a graduate of the National School of Decorative Arts where he was admitted in 1932, André Beaucé was a pupil in the workshops of André Lhote and Simon, with Yves Brayer . He won the Abd-el-Tif prize in 1946 and was a regular at the Salon d'Automne. After having lived for several years in Algeria, and in particular at Villa Abd El Tif where he was a scholarship holder from 1946 to 1948, André Beaucé returned to France in 1949 and resumed his teaching at the Schools of Paris. His painting is then powerfully expressionist, free from any system. In the 1950s, we notice vigorous, uncompromising, intense portraits, captured in an almost caricatural way. The tones, always very mounted, are opposed with force in a composition cut with vigor. After the dark years of the war, Beaucé’s art reflects a violent vision of a certain reality that is always brutal and yet magnificent.
