About the Item

➡️Provence Landscape from Argenton (1908-1990)⬅️ This lovely artwork is landscape painting...looks to a Vincent Van Gogh painting ⭐Structural Analysis⭐ This piece depicts a rustic rural scene with a small, humble stone building—perhaps a shed or a cottage—set against an expansive landscape. The foreground shows textured, earthy fields, while the background features rolling hills with a mix of muted green and brown tones, suggesting late autumn or early spring. A leafless tree stands next to the building, adding a stark vertical element to the composition. The building is slightly off-center, creating an asymmetrical balance that draws the eye. The diagonal lines of the field lead the viewer’s gaze toward the structure, guiding us through the landscape. The horizon line is placed relatively high, emphasizing the broad expanse of land. ⭐Color Analysis⭐ The colors are earthy and subdued—browns, greens, and grays dominate the landscape, with the sky a pale, washed-out blue. Light is soft and diffused, perhaps suggesting a cloudy day or the gentle light of dawn/dusk. The rough, impasto application of paint on the building’s roof captures light nicely, adding a subtle focal point. The artist uses thick, textured brushstrokes, particularly in the foreground and the building. This impasto technique gives a tactile quality to the earth and the stone structure. The sky and distant hills are more smoothly rendered, contrasting with the rougher texture of the foreground. The thick texture of the painting catches the light, making the artwork luminous. ⭐Style & Influence:⭐ The style leans toward post-impressionism, focusing on expressive brushwork and the emotional quality of the landscape rather than photographic realism. There’s a bit of a Van Gogh vibe in the swirling, dynamic strokes and the expressive handling of paint and also heavy texture from Lucian Freud Technique: oil on wood panel 40x26 cm / 15,7x10,2 inch With a golden frame: 50,5x35,5cm /19,8x14 inch ⏩It is signed Argenton.⏪ ⭐Condition : ⭐- No deformation.
