About the Item

Cesar A. Villacres was known for his impressionistic street scenes depicting France. This painting is a tremendously vivid and alive street scene from Paris in the Early 20th Century of a horse with carriage in the rain with a figure holding an umbrella. The tree-lined street with buildings, and the beautiful architecture from the city is rendered with breathtaking details. The use of thick paint is noted, with quick brushwork and precise attention to detail. An absolutely great work of the times, capturing an ever so fleeting moment from over a century ago. This piece is signed lower left by the artist and it comes housed in a beautiful aged gold tone Newcomb-Macklin frame with hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed. Art measures 20 x 24 inches Frame measures 25.5 x 29.5 inches Cesar A. Villacres was born in Ecuador in 1880, and after leaving Ecuador he became a painter of the "School of Paris”. Villacres was best known for his moody impressionistic Parisian street scenes, with a keen sensitivity and quiet style, using silvery grey overtones to depict the formality of this city scene. The artist was truly a master of expressing the magic and nostalgia of the Parisian life of the "Belle Époque" in France. In his artworks, Villacres mainly portrayed his style as a French impressionistic visual artist. And although there is not much information about him, the majority of his works were produced by capturing the Paris busy street scenes from the Early 20th Century, by mostly using subtle brush strokes of oil on canvas with a wide color pallet. The use of thick paint is frequently noted, with quick brushwork and precise attention to detail. Villacres was a prolific artist in the first part of the 20th Century, having mostly worked in South America and Paris. His mountain landscapes paintings are tremendously vivid and alive, as well as the Impressionist Paris street scenes and figurative paintings. People going about their day; street vendors and flower sellers are alive as horses and carriages are wispily riding along. In the distance, the viewer will usually find some detailed elements like a tree-lined street with cars driving by, and the beautiful architecture of the city. Cesar A. Villacres died in 1941 and his works can be found in many collections worldwide. PROVENANCE: Private collection East Dennis, Massachusetts; Private Collection Manhattan, New York; Lilac Gallery Collection. The piece will be stamped from Lilac Gallery on its verso.
