Felix Eugene Bellenot
Old Boats in Provence Oil on Canvas Painting by Felix Eugene Bellenot

circa 1930

About the Item

This superb oil on canvas painting was created by Felix Eugene Bellenot (1892 - 1963). This vibrant and passionate composition represents the port of Sainte Maxime in France within the foreground of the famous fishing boats typical of the French Riviera. The artwork boasts a very lively and fresh execution with a post-cubist influence, mixing clean lines and very contrasting colors. The signature on the lower right corner reads F. Bellenot The painting is newly installed in an elegant gilded wood frame, constructed with a bleached wood matte. The last three pictures show the painting before framing. Measurements: With frame: 17.32 in high (44.5 cm) x 20.90 in wide (53 cm) x 1.57 in deep (4 cm). Opening view: 12.20 in high (31.5 cm) x 15.35 in wide (39.5 cm). Note: Félix Eugène Bellenot, son of Victor Bellenot and Jeanne Valérie Delduc, was born on February 11, 1892, in Grasse and is a French painter often considered an orientalist painter, having lived part of his life in Morocco. He studied at the Académie Colarossi, like Amedeo Modigliani, in the Montparnasse district from 1920 to 1936. Félix Bellenot was a friend of André Derain, Charles Despiau and Paul Belmondo. He exhibited at the Salon d'Automne from 1920 to 1930, at the Galerie Chéron in 1925, and The Salon des Tuileries from 1925 to 1935. He continued his art in Morocco, where he settled from 1936 to 1961. Félix Bellenot founded the School of Fine Arts in Casablanca and teaches painting. He returned to the region of Provence in France towards the end of his life and passed away on January 2, 1964, in Monaco. He mainly painted nudes, "Leda and the Swan" is one of his favorite subjects. We also owe him many landscapes of Morocco and typical scenes of its inhabitants. We can cite landscapes and views of the Mediterranean coast in the south of France on the Riviera. In 1925, he decorated one of the pillars of the famous Parisian restaurant La Coupole. He is the great-grandson of the Franco-Russian writer Jean-Marie Chopin and the great-grandnephew of the painter Henri Frédéric Schopin.
