Large French Landscape Painting of a Hunter and Hillside Village, Dated 1962
About the Item
Purchased from a chateau in the South of France, this large landscape painting of a hunter walking outside of a hillside village is over 10 feet tall and seven feet wide. The canvas is signed and dated in the lower right-hand corner, indicating that the artist completed the massive painting in 1962.
Based on the apparel of the hunter and the condition of the surrounding vegetation, it appears to be an early autumn day. Our hunter is walking through a forest clearing with his dog, possibly an Irish Setter with a long, ruddy coat. The man is clad in a green fedora and similarly colored pants with black knee-high boots and an olive jacket, with his rifle slung over his right shoulder. Seven ashen trees with sparse leaves of green, brown, and yellow line the bank of a small stream in the foreground. Several rocks can be seen on the other bank, just upstream from a thick, green canopy of trees. The vivacity of the grass has faded, with blades of yellow interspersed amongst the green. A row of bushes, situated at the base of a large hill, has begun to turn brown. The side of the hill is covered with cream houses with tan roofs, as a meandering road leads up to the peak beneath a blue sky with white clouds.
Our large landscape painting would be a focal point of any wall on which it hangs. The frame was previously removed, allowing the canvas to be placed on a curvature, such as the back wall of a spiral staircase.

- Pair of Large 18th Century French Boiserie Overdoor PaintingsLocated in Dallas, TXOnce installed architecturally in a chateau in Normandy, France, this large pair of overdoors was painted in the 1700s and executed in a technique known as verdaille. Verdaille utilizes various shades of green to achieve a mesmerizing monochromatic effect. This technique’s rich history traces back to the 12th century when it was initially employed to create stained glass for Cistercian monasteries, where colorful art was prohibited, making these overdoors not only aesthetically captivating but also a piece of living art history. Interestingly, there is a hand-written transport note on the back of one of the overdoors (see detail photo) that mentions the paintings were to be shipped to a Madame DeFrance in Paris, at the rue St. Honore corner of la rue Dufour (freight pre-paid). These exquisite pieces are encompassed by wood frames adorned with lavish foliate carvings, beautifully painted in a soothing French gray hue. Each overdoor encapsulates a unique musical scene that transports you to the heart of 18th-century Europe. In the first painting, a man plays the uilleann pipe, a unique instrument with a bellow-driven mechanism that distinguishes it from a bagpipe. The musician has quite an audience, as two women, one cradling a sheep, and four more sheep next to a dog have gathered nearby. In the second painting, witness a captivating moment of courtship as a gentleman kneels before a woman with a tambourine in her hands. He presents a long woodwind instrument, possibly a carnyx, while a faithful dog rests nearby amidst a backdrop of gardening tools. These stunning French verdaille overdoors were once part of a themed boiserie room (most likely green in color and centered around music). They can once again be used to create a theme above a pair of interior doors or they can be hung as a unique set of artwork.Category
