Jacques Deveau
French art vintage portrait of Paris, a view from the balcony - oil on canvas

1937-2022

About the Item

Jacques Deveau (1937-2022) "A view from the balcony" (Boulevard des Capucines in Paris). Free US CONTINENTAL Shipping, incl Europe and Asia. Based (or not) on Claude Monet's two paintings of "Le Boulevard des Capucines" 1874,  Deveau was not the only painter to be inspired by Jean Claude Monet’s genius. Another Master, called Camille Pissaro, or Gustave Caillebotte decided to use a similar view from a balcony to realize several scenes of the Parisian Boulevard. The composition from a balcony is one of the emblematic work representing the Impressionism. It depicts a snapshot of Parisian life on this bustling boulevard. It captures the movement and energy of the urban scene with quick brushstrokes and bright colors. The silhouettes of passers-by, carriages and partially bare trees mingle in a visual dance, reflecting the bustle of the city. Light plays a crucial role in this work, with cast shadows and reflections that give depth to the scene. This is a wonderful example of Impressionism's ability to capture the ephemeral beauty of everyday moments. The composition "View from above", is at the same time scarce, eye sensitive and offering the power of greatness. It was indeed chosen to be the emblematic work for the Musée d’Orsay exhibition and commemorating its 150 years in 2024. Today, we offer you this fine painting in a framed format D: 170 cm x 130 cm. Jacques Deveau is a French post-impressionist Parisian painter, who died in October 2022 at the age of 85. His work was devoted to depicting Parisian life as well as leisure life, particularly on the beaches of the Côte Fleurie (Deauville, Trouville, etc.). His works often depict beautiful ladies and children playing on the sand. His rich impasto technique and use of light and color capture scenes of quiet beauty and joie de vivre. Also prized for his scenes of Paris, such as those of the Grands Boulevards, he was able to evoke through his compositions the spirit of the Old Masters, while continuing to depict a more modern society. Here is the work of the painter, who has been represented by many leading galleries and whose works are held in private collections around the world.
