Broquet M
Mountain village and mazots in front of the Matterhorn.

1936

About the Item

This painting, signed M. Broquet and dated 1936, depicts an Alpine village landscape. The scene shows traditional wooden and stone houses, with sloping roofs, set on a green slope. The buildings, painted in shades of beige, brown and gray, harmonize with the surrounding natural landscape. In the background, the Matterhorn can be seen under a cloudy sky, accentuating the rural, isolated character of the location. The colors are rich and contrasting, with vibrant greens for the hills and darker hues for the buildings. The style of the painting, with its slightly geometric shapes and strong contours, suggests a modernist approach influenced by the Expressionist movement. The overall mood of the painting evokes a peaceful, timeless atmosphere, typical of mountain villages.
