Georges Planes
French Watercolor and Oil on Board Impressionist Painting, The River Barges.

1930s

About the Item

Early 20th Century view of barges at a riverbank by French artist Georges Planes. The painting is signed bottom right. The painting is very nicely framed in a blue painted wood frame with a deep insert and gilt filet. We have another painting by the same artist, a view of Rouen, in the same framing, which would make a pair with this work. The other painting is dated 1933. A charming view of three barges, or peniche as they are known in France, tied to the river bank, their bulk reflected in the passing river. On the bank a figure is walking towards us, giving some idea as to the large scale of the boats. Planes has introduced colour into his treatment of the riverbank, his beloved mauves and blues and as ever his characteristic drawing to give line under the blocks of colour. A very pleasing and accomplished composition. A noted and accomplished artist Georges Planes was a student of Fernand Cormon. He exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français of which he was a member from 1923.
