Y.Gonez
Mid-Century Impressionist French view of La Madeleine Paris, France

Circa 1960

About the Item

Y. Gonez (French, mid-20th century) Flower Market at La Madeleine, Paris, ca. 1950s Oil on canvas, in a Montparnasse-style frame With bold strokes and a flourish of color, Y. Gonez captures the quintessential charm of Parisian street life in Flower Market at La Madeleine. The neoclassical columns of L’Église de la Madeleine rise majestically in the background, while the foreground bursts into life with a flurry of market stalls overflowing with vibrant blooms. Figures bustle through the scene, their forms sketched with the spontaneity and energy that defines mid-century French painting. Gonez, working in the rich tradition of Parisian street painters, transforms this everyday moment into a celebration of color, movement, and atmosphere. The lively textures and dynamic brushwork echo the legacy of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists, who found endless inspiration in the rhythms of urban life. His focus is not on architectural precision but on the sensory experience—the crispness of morning light, the scent of fresh flowers, and the hum of a city alive with commerce and conversation. Framed in a classic Montparnasse-style frame, known for its rustic elegance and artisanal charm, the piece is perfectly contextualized within the aesthetic of mid-20th-century Parisian art culture. These frames, favored by artists and galleries alike, complement the informal vibrancy of works like this, blurring the line between fine art and the artistic spirit of the street. Gonez’s painting stands as a joyful homage to Paris—where even a simple flower market becomes a scene of timeless beauty and artistic expression.

"The Lake & Plaza Hotel New York" Impressionist Oil Painting in Central Park
By Johann Berthelsen, 1883-1972
Located in New York, NY
A stunning jewel and pertinent example of Berthelsen's charming New York City scenes. Here we find a The Plaza hotel and the Manhattan buildings depicted in the far background with pops of colors shinning through the lights and magic of the city. The artist was truly a master of capturing New York in all of its glory throughout the seasons. This piece is executed whimsically, yet dramatically evoking an emotion of wonder and beauty. This piece is signed lower right by the artist and it also bears the reproduction right's stamp on the reverse. It is titled on the back and it comes housed in a beautiful French giltwood frame with linen liner and hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed. Art measures 6.5 x 8 inches Frame measures 12 x 14 inches Johann Berthelsen was born in Copenhagen in 1883, the 7th of seven children, to Conrad and Dorothea Karen Berthelsen. His parents were involved in artistic and professional circles. In 1890, his mother brought the children to America, settling in Manistee, Michigan, with her sister's family. They would eventually move to Manitowoc, Wisconsin, a city on the shore of Lake Michigan. As a teenager, Johann was actively involved in choirs and singing groups. And he always loved to draw and paint, and while he was too impatient to take well to schoolwork, and never went beyond the 5th grade. Although he worked in several trades, Johann's mind and heart were always with the arts. As his voice matured, he also always wanted to be an actor, and at the age of 18 moved to Chicago where he reconnected with an old friend who was studying voice at the Chicago Musical...
