About the Item

This beautiful oil-on-canvas painting was created by Francois Gentilini (1930 -). This is a small-scale oil painting by the well-listed French Modern painter Francois Gentilini. The graphics are structured with geometric lines depicting abstract architecture. The painter has applied the traditional Chiaroscuro technique in a modern way to create a strikingly contemporary landscape. The painting's color palette features shades of dark greens and browns, with only the points of light on the canvas providing illumination. The tones are sustained, and the colors are vibrant. Francois Gentilini - Les Mesneux Pres Reims - 51 - 1976 is written on the canvas's reverse side. Newly reframed in an elegant wood frame and off-white fabric jutte liner. Measurements: With frame: 12.19 in wide (31 cm) x 14.19 in high (36 cm). Opening view: 7.07 in wide (18 cm) x 9.25 in high (23.5 cm). The last three pictures show the canvas before reframing. Note: Francois Gentilini is a French painter born in 1930. He studied at the College St Joseph in Reims, class of 1949. He was awarded an outstanding scholarship from the city of Reims in 1955 for his exceptional work on various projects undertaken for the town hall of Reims. He taught at the School of Fine Arts in Reims at the end of the 60s and the 70s. He is very appreciated by his students because he advocates respect for the freedom and personality of the artist, even if he is a budding artist. In 1986 the Galerie Winnie du Moriez in Reims devoted a retrospective exhibition of this painter from Reims. Note: Chiaroscuro (Italian for 'light-dark'), in art, is the use of strong contrast between light and dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition. It is also a technical term used by artists and art historians using light contrasts to achieve a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects and figures. Similar effects in cinema with black and white and low-key photography are called chiaroscuro. Chiaroscuro originated from the Renaissance but is most notably associated with Baroque art. Chiaroscuro is one of the canonical painting modes of the Renaissance. (Credit: Wikipedia)
