A Finely Executed 'Plein Air' Barbizon Style Landscape by Francois Gall

About the Item

A fine & sensitively executed Barbizon 'plein-air' style landscape depicting rural figures in a treed setting. Oil on wood panel, measuring 9" high x 12.25" wide, signed bottom left 'Gall', and set within what appears to be its original giltwood gallery frame, measuring 16" high x 19" wide x 2.25" deep. FRANCOIS GALL (1912-1987) was a Hungarian / French artist who while living in Romania joined a group of other talented artists who studied & worked in a ‘plein air’ style known there as the Baia Mare School; a style strongly influenced by the French Barbizon School approach. Gall then moved to Italy in 1929 where he attended The Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, afterwards in 1936 he travelled to France and studied at The Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Paris under Andre Devambez. During his time in Paris, Gall’s work migrated away from the 'plein-air' style so reflective of the Barbizon School, to that of Post Impressionism. He exhibited often at the famed Paris Salon, where in 1947 he was awarded the Gold Medal for his work titled ‘Bread for the People’. In 1976 he was awarded the prestigious 'Chevalier dans ‘Ordre des Arts de Lettres', which is the highest recognition awarded to a French artist. In 1987 he was elected President of the National Union of Painters & Professional Sculptors.
