George Hobbs
A Garden in Montone, France

1885

About the Item

George Hobbs’ A Garden in Montone, France invites viewers into a serene moment of everyday beauty nestled in the heart of the French countryside. The composition features a narrow lane bordered by blooming gardens, low stone walls, and timeworn buildings softened by ivy and light. Along the path, figures meander unhurriedly, pausing to admire the landscape—each one absorbed in the peaceful rhythm of the village. Hobbs renders the scene with a warm, sunlit palette, capturing the gentle glow of late afternoon and the richness of nature in full bloom. His brushwork blends detail with atmosphere to evoke a lived-in space that feels both intimate and expansive. The garden is not just a backdrop, but a living character—its flowers and foliage mirroring the movement and tranquility of the people passing through. Balancing landscape and human presence, this work speaks to the quiet joy of connection—between people, place, and the passage of time. A Garden in Montone, France is a celebration of simple moments and the enduring charm of rural life.

Hudson River School Large American Impressionist Landscape Wisconsin in the Snow
Located in Cotignac, FR
A large scale American Hudson River School Impressionist landscape of a snow scene, most probably Wisconsin, by Leroy Ferdinand Jonas. The painting is signed and dated bottom right and presented in a fine gilt frame. An imposing view of a snowy landscape most probably the artist's native Wisconsin. Jonas has captured the grandeur of the scene with the contrast between the thick lush snow and the rich colours of the foliage and leaves on the trees. His impasto technique is very characteristic of the American Impressionists as is the subject and sense of scale. A really beautiful painting which because of its scale would be a statement piece in any room. LeRoy Jonas was born in the town of Texas, Marathon County, Wisconsin, on April 18, 1897, son of Johann F. and Marie (Borchardt) Jonas. He was educated in Wausau public schools and attended the Chicago Art Institute, where he studied under John Norton, noted for his murals, Leopold Seifert, noted for his portraits, and William Wilmovsky, a landscape artist. He worked as a commercial artist and Conservator of Fine Arts there. Upon graduating, he painted for a while in Door County, Wisconsin and was then awarded a scholarship to study under Leon Lundmark...
