Artist/ School: Guy Benard (French b.1928) signed lower corner. Painter from Rouen, Normandy, exhibited throughout France. Title: Gordes (Luberon Valley, Provence) Medium: signed oil on canvas, unframed and inscribed verso size: 39 x 39 inches Provenance: private collection, France Condition: The painting is in overall very good and sound condition. Arles is a historic city located in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of southern France. It is situated on the banks of the Rhône River and is known for its rich Roman heritage, picturesque streets, and vibrant cultural scene. Arles has a fascinating history that dates back to Roman times. It was an important Roman provincial capital and became a major trading center. Many well-preserved Roman monuments can still be found in the city today, including the Roman Theater, the amphitheater known as the Arles Arena, and the Alyscamps, an ancient Roman necropolis. The Arles Arena is one of the most iconic landmarks in the city. It is a well-preserved Roman amphitheater that was built in the 1st century AD and could accommodate over 20,000 spectators. Today, it serves as a venue for bullfights, concerts, and other cultural events. Another notable attraction in Arles is the Roman Theater, which was built during the reign of Augustus. Although it is smaller than the Arles Arena, it is still an impressive structure and hosts various performances and concerts during the summer months. Arles is also famous for its association with the renowned Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh. The artist lived in Arles for a period of time in the late 19th century and created some of his most famous works there. The city has several locations that are featured in his paintings, such as the Café Terrace at Night and the famous Sunflowers series. In addition to its Roman and artistic heritage, Arles offers a charming old town with narrow streets, medieval buildings, and traditional Provencal architecture. The Place du Forum is a popular square where visitors can enjoy outdoor cafes and soak up the atmosphere of the city. Arles is also known for its vibrant cultural scene. The city hosts the annual Rencontres d'Arles, an international photography festival that attracts photographers and art enthusiasts from around the world. The festival showcases a wide range of contemporary photography exhibitions in various venues across the city. Furthermore, Arles is surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes, including the Camargue region, known for its unique wetlands, salt marshes, and diverse wildlife. The Camargue is famous for its white horses, black bulls, and pink flamingos, making it a popular destination for nature lovers.
