About the Item

➡️Romantique (2004)⬅️ ⏩It is signed M Lecomte, Michel Lecomte (1935-2011) ⏪ Michel Lecomte’s career was distinguished by a unique versatility. While known for his work as the official painter of the 24 Heures du Mans and for his automotive art, this still life reveals his range beyond motorsport themes. His disciplined training, combined with a deep respect for artistic tradition, is visible in the formal structure and finish of this work. His recognition as Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Palmes Académiques underscores his contribution to arts education, while his international exhibitions and hundreds of press articles attest to his wide influence. This still life can be seen as a moment where Lecomte steps away from speed and engineering, turning instead toward timeless themes of beauty, culture, and mortality. 🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢 This work by Michel Lecomte captures the timeless elegance of the still life genre, presenting a lush bouquet of flowers, ripe fruit, and an open musical score. The composition is classic yet full of vibrancy, revealing the artist’s mastery in harmonizing form, texture, and color. It speaks to a long European tradition—rooted in the 17th-century Dutch and Flemish still life schools—while imbuing it with Lecomte’s own precision and luminous palette. ⭐Composition and Arrangement⭐ The painting’s layout follows a triangular structure, a compositional device that draws the viewer’s eye upward from the base of the fruit to the apex of the floral bouquet. The arrangement balances three visual anchors: ➡️Lower left : An open book of sheet music, rendered with remarkable attention to detail in the curling pages and musical notation. This element introduces a cultural and intellectual note to the otherwise natural setting. ➡️Center : A rich vase overflowing with a variety of flowers in peak bloom: roses, peonies, tulips, poppies, pansies, and other seasonal blooms. The petals are rendered with layered brushstrokes, achieving both botanical accuracy and painterly richness. ➡️Lower right : A pile of ripe fruit green and purple grapes, peaches, and plums symbolizing abundance and perhaps the ephemeral pleasures of life. The warm brown background, subtly shaded, provides depth without distraction, allowing the saturated colors of the flowers and fruit to dominate. ⭐Color Palette and Technique⭐ Lecomte employs a warm, glowing palette. The reds, pinks, and oranges of the flowers contrast vividly with the cooler greens and purples of the fruit. The artist’s training at the École des Beaux-Arts of Rouen is evident in his disciplined yet expressive brushwork: Petals are built with soft gradations and delicate highlights, achieving a lifelike translucence. Fruit features precise color modulation, with subtle reflections that give a sense of roundness and ripeness. Sheet music is handled with crisp, fine lines, showing his draughtsman’s control. ⭐Symbolism and Interpretive Reading⭐ Still life painting has long been a vehicle for layered meanings. In this case, Lecomte seems to weave together three symbolic threads: Nature’s abundance (flowers and fruit) – a celebration of life’s richness. Art and culture (the open score) – a nod to human creativity and intellectual refinement. Ephemerality – flowers wilt, fruit spoils, music ends; all are fleeting moments of beauty, subtly reminding us of life’s impermanence. The sheet music adds a poetic twist: the visible notes suggest that beauty is not only visual but also auditory—art is a multisensory experience. Technique: oil on canvas 46x38 cm / 18.1x15 inch ⏩Signed M Lecomte⏪ ⭐Condition : ⭐- Vivid color. Good condition. Ready to hang. ⭐Provenance:⭐ Private collection - France.
