Paul Mathey Paintings

French, 1844-1929
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.

Impressionist Landscape Painting, Oil on Canvas, Signed 1932

By Paul Mathey

Located in Genève, GE

Signed and dated "Paul Mathey 1932" in the lower right corner. A refined Impressionist landscape depicting a serene countryside set against a backdrop of distant alpine mountains. Painted in 1932, this work captures a peaceful rural scene with gently rolling fields, a line of slender trees, and a wooded foreground rendered in warm autumnal tones. The composition is structured with a strong sense of depth, leading the eye from the textured foreground across cultivated land toward the soft blue and violet hues of the mountains. The presence of tall, cypress-like trees and blossoming vegetation suggests a southern European or alpine setting, evoking a quiet harmony between nature and cultivated land. Executed with confident, visible brushwork, the artist employs a fresh, luminous palette of greens, ochres, and soft blues. The paint handling is lively yet controlled, characteristic of late Impressionist practice, with an emphasis on light, atmosphere, and seasonal color. The painting reflects a sensitive observation of the natural environment and would appeal to collectors of European landscapes, Impressionist works, and tranquil pastoral scenes. impressionist landscape, alpine painting, mountain landscape, countryside scene, autumn landscape, European landscape art, 1930s painting, pastoral scene, rural landscape, impressionist oil painting, nature painting, cypress trees painting...

19th Century pair of French townscape oil paintings

By Henry Schafer

Located in Nr Broadway, Worcestershire

**PLEASE NOTE: EACH PAINTING INCLUDING THE FRAME MEASURES 15 INCHES x 13 INCHES** Henry Schafer German/British, (1841-c.1914) Chartres, France & Metz, Lorraine Oil on canvas, pair, both signed Image size: 10 inches x 8 inches (each) Size including frame: 15 inches x 13 inches (each) A lovely pair of French townscape paintings featuring Cathedrals by Henry Schafer. The first offers a view of Metz Cathedral and other medieval buildings from the river Moselle. On the right, figures can be seen at a market stall whilst others walk down a street. Meanwhile to the left, a boat is shown docking at a quayside in front of an archway. The other painting is of Chartres Cathedral seen from a cobbled town square lined with Medieval buildings. Two figures are depicted next to a market stall on the left as others chat or make their way towards the square along a lane to the right. Henry Schafer was born in Hanover, Germany in 1841. Although little is recorded about his upbringing, he was known to have studied at the l'Ecole National de Beaux-Arts in Paris. After leaving art school, he travelled throughout Europe painting town scenes and buildings of Northern France, Belgium and Germany. By 1864, Schafer had travelled to England with his wife Theresa, to work in London where they settled and started a family. All four of their children were born in England. One of his daughters Emilie Anna Schafer (1871-1937) became a painter and art teacher. Around 1871, the family were living at 53 Vauxhall Bridge Road and in 1881 were recorded as residing at 6, Sophia Terrace, Beulah Road, Thornton Heath in Surrey, with Henry continuing to work as an artist. By 1891, he had moved to 7 St Peters Road in Islington where he lived for the rest of his life. Sometime around the turn of the century, he became a British subject. Schafer is believed to have died in London c1914. Many of his works depict the architecture of gothic cathedrals and churches, as in these two fine examples. He also produced interior studies of churches. Schafer's style resembles that of Alfred Montague...
