About the Item
Work on canvas
Dimensions with frame : 45 x 55 x 4 cm
This work, a captivating impressionist painting, features a serene and enchanting natural landscape. Bold, expressive brushstrokes delicately capture the raw beauty of rock formations lining a tranquil body of water. The artist knew how to play with light subtly, creating a delicate contrast between the shadows of the cliffs and the clarity of the sky. The green vegetation running along the crest of the rocks adds a lively and dynamic dimension to the scene. The reflections in the water are rendered with almost poetic precision, inviting the viewer to lose themselves in this gentle natural symmetry. The color palette, dominated by the intense greens and soft grays of the rocks, gives the work a visual harmony, reinforcing the feeling of tranquility that emanates from the painting. The impressionist technique is used at its best here, capturing a fleeting moment with elegant spontaneity. This painting stands out for its ability to evoke a peaceful atmosphere while demonstrating the artist's technical mastery.

Paul Mathey
Paul Albert Mathey is the son of Charles and Elisa Beaujon. Orphaned at 14, he was taken in by an uncle and spent his childhood in New York. In 1931, he married Claire-Lise Monnier, a painter like him. They have exhibited together several times. Between 1905 and 1910, he took evening classes at the Art Student's League in New York. From 1910 to 1916, he attended the School of Fine Arts in Geneva and was a pupil of Barthélemy Menn. During this period, he received several awards and mentions. In 1916-1917, he worked with Ferdinand Hodler. In 1918, he became a member of the Society of Swiss Painters, Sculptors and Architects (he participated in all of its exhibitions until 1967) and of the Gottfried Keller Foundation (1954-1961). He mainly painted landscapes and still lifes. He also made some theater sets in Geneva. In 1967, he became a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters. A large part of his works can be found at the Monnier Foundation in Cartigny.
