About the Item

Georges Charles ROBIN (Paris 1903 - 2003) Castelnaud seen from Saint Julien de Cénac Oil on canvas H. 80 cm ; L. 100 cm Signed lower left. Located on the back Provenance: Private collection, England Born in Paris, Georges Robin studied with the classical landscape painter and post-impressionist Paul-Michel Dupuy. This light that Dupuy's seaside work gives off is then found in the colorful veins of Robin's landscapes. But before becoming the master in landscapes known today, Georges Charles Robin cut his teeth as decorators, notably for the casino of Dinan in Brittany. It was finally quite late, in 1948, that the painter received his first official honors as a landscape designer, although he had participated in the Salon des Artistes Français since the 1920s, as in the Salon des Paysagistes Français. A few years later, he will receive the gold medal at the Salon des Artistes Français and will be classified Hors Concours until the end of his life, which represents the ultimate reward. A prolific artist until 1981, when he lost his sight, Robin devoted his career to the simple landscapes of the French countryside and seaside. You will not find any fireworks, no surreal light, no historical scenes placed in an imaginary landscape, but many real places. In love with the Dordogne and its rivers, the painter stayed in the department on numerous occasions during his travels which took him from Finistère to the Mediterranean coasts, via the banks of the Sèvre Nantaise, the Charente. , Loing or even Aumance. In the heart of Périgord, he was particularly attached to the Vézère and the Dordogne, close to tourist routes, without showing our great castles as the main subjects. Little documented, the story of this artist, who locally reminds us of the compositions of Lucien de Maleville and Raymond Dufrêne, only asks to be put in the light of local projectors as soon as information on his career reaches us. To date, several English galleries, including Gladwell & Patterson, highlight Georges Charles Robin across the Channel, supporting an important rating. The painter died a hundred years old in 2003. The atypical point of view realized by Robin on this view of the village of Castelnaud and its fortress, is taken from the left bank of the Dordogne, with the cliff of La Roque-Gageac in our back. We are in the town of Saint Julien de Cénac. The main subject as we can hear it today is the castle of Castelnaud, but the painter knows how to attract the eye of the spectator with the boats in the foreground standing out from the reflections of the sky, as from the farm located on the shore. . Realistic as usual Georges Charles Robin painted this canvas most certainly before 1965, when the restoration work on the Château de Castelnaud was started by the Rossillon family. Currently managed by Kléber Rossillon like the Marqueyssac gardens on the other side, this residence is one of the most visited in the region. In 2020, we were offering a work representing the same place with the same point of view, but in a much smaller format. The fishermen were also not there!
