About the Item

'The Pond of Flowers', oil on canvas, by Marie-Lucie Nessi-Valtat (circa 1960s). This exquisite oil painting captures the tranquil beauty of a serene pond, its delicate surface reflecting the vibrant hues of the surrounding flowers and verdant landscape. Painted in the 1960s, the piece is a testament to Nessi-Valtat's mastery of light and colour, blending Impressionist influences with a distinctly personal touch. The scene invites the viewer into a quiet, dreamlike world where nature and water coexist in harmony, offering a moment of stillness amidst the flow of time. The soft brushwork and rich palette evoke the warm, golden light of summer in rural France, making this work an ideal addition to any collection that celebrates the elegance of French landscape painting. The artwork is in good overall condition and has been recently framed with a French-style linen slip. It is signed in the lower right hand. Upon request, a video will be provided. About the Artist: Marie-Lucie Nessi-Valtat (1910-1992). Born in Paris, when she had completed high school, then 16 years old, convinced her parents to allow her to attend drawing classes. She completed her training in the atelier of André Lhote at the Académie de La Grande Chaumière and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. With her fellow students she spent many evenings in the company of Jacques Hélion, Kisling and Foujita, whom they used to meet in the cafés of Montparnasse. Although her father-in-law, Louis Valtat, encouraged her, Nessi hardly found time to paint, as she was dedicated to her husband, Doctor Jean Valtat. But that marriage ended in divorce in 1949. Obliged to look after her two children’s needs, the artist started to produce ceramics hoping to turn her talents to profit. From 1958, thanks to the assistance of her mother-in-law, Suzanne Valtat, to whom she remained firmly attached, Nessi-Valtat abandoned ceramics and at last, devoted herself entirely to painting. The Wally Findlay International Gallery signed an exclusive contract with her in 1972 which brought her not only a certain amount of financial security, but also the satisfaction of seeing her work appreciated by an international public. She was the daughter of the celebrated artist, Edouard Nessi. The artist passed away in 1992.
