About the Item

Contemporary impressionist pastel of a garden in full bloom by Belgian artist Francis Besson. Signed to the very bottom left and to the backboard. Presented in a plain contemporary frame under glass. A whirl of colours and floral designs shape this gorgeously sumptuous painting of a garden in full bloom. The use of pastel softens the whole effect and gives an impressionistic feeling. The painting is almost pointillist as the artist has applied brief marks of pastel again and again to form an overall image. An enchanting work of art to lose yourself in. Besson was born in Dundee (Scotland) in 1943 however as a young child moved to Belgium where he later became famous as an actor. His family kept a second home in Cotignac in Provence which he visited often until finally going to live there himself in the early 2000's. Francis Besson now lives and works in the beautiful village of Cotignac in Provence in the south of France. His often impressionistic almost pointillist work is inspired by the nature he sees around him in this lovely part of the world. The intensity of the light , the rocks and forests of Provence all feature in his paintings. He is known for both landscapes and abstract works and has often collaborated with other local artists.
