About the Item

Path to the Beach by Maurice Mazeilie (French, 1924-2021) watercolor painting on artist paper, unframed unsigned stamped verso A glorious summer scene of red roofed cottages lining a steep path down to the beach, with figures making their way to the sands. Measures : Painting: 14.75 inches x 10.75 inches A delightful original painting by the 20th century French Impressionist artist, Maurice Mazeilie. The painting has excellent provenance having come from the artists estate sale in Paris. Mazeilie lived and worked in Montmartre, with a studio on the famous Place du Tertre. His love of the coast led him to also maintain a studio on the Brittany coastline. Born in Clichy, Hauts-de-Seine, Paris in early 1924, Mazeilie painted coastal scenes in Brittany, Parisian landscapes and architecture, Venetian Cityscapes, and portraiture. He moved to the USA in 1957, returning to France briefly for a few months in 1958, then arriving back in early 1959 to settle in San Diego California where he applied for naturalisation and became a longstanding figure in the artist's centre at Spanish Village in San Diego between approximately 1967-1974. He had married in San Diego in 1964. In the late 1970s he returned to France and continued to paint and sketch right up to 2019 (some of his later work is dated). Mazeilie's gentle, impressionist style fits into any interior environment, contemporary or Classic. Condition report: The painting is in good and sound condition, clean. There is some shallow folding to the sheet on edges and corners (the photos of the back show it more clearly), when framed this would be hard to spot as the framing and glass would flatten those areas.
