Pair of Mid-Century Oil on Canvas Parisian Scenes Paintings Signed A. Blanchard
By Antoine Blanchard
Located in Dallas, TX
Decorate a living room, library, or office with this exquisite pair of Paris street scenes. Painted in France circa 1960, each artwork is set in a beautifully textured and painted frame, and depicts a lively Parisian view rendered in Blanchard’s signature impressionistic style. One composition, Les Quais et le Louvre, captures a bustling riverside scene with pedestrians, horse-drawn carriages, and kiosks under autumn skies; the other, La Porte Saint-Martin, presents a winter view of the famous monument animated with carriages and city life blanketed in snow.
Executed with a thick, textured impasto technique, both paintings reveal the artist’s masterful use of light and movement to convey the vibrancy of everyday Paris. They are in excellent condition and signed in the lower corners by Antoine Blanchard. Authenticity papers from Rehs Galleries accompany the works, each listed in the Antoine Blanchard Virtual Checklist as no. LVQLW1318.0010 and no. PSMBSM1318.0010, along with original receipts from Landsberger Gallery and Lewis Art Gallery.
