About the Item

Pyroengraved Screen – Medieval Mediterranean Townscape, Art Nouveau / Art Deco, 1930 A rare and remarkable three-panel screen, entirely pyroengraved, depicting a landscape of a medieval Mediterranean town. In a style blending Art Nouveau with Art Deco influences, the artist Guyot (signed and dated “Guyot 30”) presents a finely detailed scene, where every element seems captured in a frozen moment of light and stillness. The scene reveals an old fortified town, featuring a two-arched stone bridge. At the center of the bridge stands a prominent fortified gate—perhaps a toll booth or barbican—guarding the entrance to the city. Beneath the arches, an almost dried-up river reveals two thin streams flowing through detailed riverbeds. The work is distinguished by subtle color highlights in certain areas, enhancing the depth of the composition without disrupting the overall harmony of the stained wood. This partial use of color reveals contrasts in shadow, the textures of buildings, the varied stonework, and draws the eye toward a small figure wearing a pink hat entering the city. In the background, tall cypress trees, gentle hills, and large cumulus clouds evoke the timeless charm of a semi-rural Mediterranean landscape—somewhere between the South of France, Italy, or Spain. A characterful piece, both decorative and narrative, ideal for a refined interior or a collection of unique objects. France, 1930 Signed and dated: Guyot 30 Dimensions: Height: 153 cm Total width: 150 cm Depth: 3 cm Condition: Good condition. See photos for details.
