About the Item

A pair of French Impressionist landscape views by Georges Planes. (Dimensions given are for each painting.) The first painting: is an early 20th Century drawing and watercolour view of the city and riverscape at Rouen. The work is signed and dated bottom right in red ink. There is also a watermark and oval stamp for 'Arches' paper. The painting is very nicely framed in a blue painted wood frame with a deep insert and gilt filet. A charming atmospheric view of the iconic French town of Rouen painted from the viewpoint of the high surrounding hills so giving an aerial view of the river, city, bridges and in the distance the towers of the cathedral so beloved of Monet. The main ground is mainly painted in blues and mauves with a highlight of yellow colour, representing the grassy hill, in the bottom right corner. This moves the eye across the work and allows us to enjoy the long perspective. Planes has allowed his pencil to give definition to buildings and structures and then allowed the colour to flood over it in the Impressionist style. A very accomplished and mature painting. Rouen has always been an inspiration to the Impressionists. Claude Monet painted the cathedral there over 30 times. The second painting: an early 20th Century view of barges at a riverbank. The painting is signed bottom right and is also very nicely framed in a blue painted wood frame with a deep insert and gilt filet. A charming view of three barges, or 'peniches' 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.
