About the Item
Lucien Potronat (1905–1981)
“Le Trayas, Côte d’Azur”, circa 1950
Oil on canvas Signed lower right Original French frame
This radiant oil painting by French artist Lucien Potronat captures the sunlit serenity of Le Trayas, a secluded coastal hamlet nestled between the Esterel Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. With its warm, sun-drenched palette and masterful use of light, the work exemplifies Potronat’s deep affection for the southern landscapes of France—an affection shaped by the luminous beauty of Provence and the glittering allure of the Côte d’Azur.
The composition is centered on a traditional stone villa shaded by olive trees and spring blossoms, with a flowering pergola cascading over the terrace. The winding path leads the eye down toward the turquoise expanse of sea beyond, where the gentle rise of the Esterel hills meets the horizon. Every element—from the cypress tree rising confidently behind the house to the loose, gestural brushwork in the foliage—conveys a vivid sense of place and season.
Lucien Potronat was celebrated for his plein air technique, painting directly from nature to capture the fleeting atmosphere of the Provençal countryside. His works gained popularity in postwar France and abroad, admired for their freshness, painterly assurance, and nostalgic evocation of an unspoiled Mediterranean life.
In Le Trayas, Potronat conjures a moment of idyllic tranquility, combining traditional craftsmanship with the sunlit expressiveness of mid-20th-century French landscape painting. This is an elegant and transportive work, equally suited to collectors of coastal scenes and those drawn to the timeless charm of southern France.

American late 20th century Impressionist landscape with figure, cottage, Sheep.
Located in Woodbury, CT
Well painted American Impressionist landscape signed Everet. The artist was a Chinese/American painter who lived and worked in Hackensack, New Jersey.
I met the artist on many occasions in the late 1990s when I lived in New York and he was a very talented and pleasant chap.
I asked him to paint different commissions for a client who wanted a certain color or subject and he was always able to amaze me with what he could produce.
I have many paintings by him in my own collection.
This is an oil on canvas.
The piece was in a private collection towards the late 1990s and has been recently re-framed and revarnished.
The artist worked for an Art Gallery called Art...
