Plaque / Woodcut Matrix, "Le Chemineau", France, 1978
We are honored to present an exceptional woodcut matrix titled "Le Chemineau", created in France in 1978-1979.
This rare piece represents a chemineau, a character typical of French peasant culture from the 19th or early 20th century.
The chemineau, a figure often associated with the itinerant lifestyle and the rural spirit of the time, is beautifully captured here in a graphic style of remarkable strength.
Artwork Details:
Dimensions:
Height: 100 cm
Width: 60 cm
Depth: 3 cm
Period: 1978
Technique: Woodcut (a traditional engraving technique that allows for remarkable depth and expressiveness).
Monogram: The work features a distinctive monogram, "DR" (?) topped with a fish. The artist has not been identified.
Style: The piece is in a style reminiscent of Maurice Albe, an artist known for his treatment of the human figure and rural scenes, especially in the early decades of the 20th century. The intensity of the line, the realistic portrayal of the chemineau, and the striking composition suggest the influence of this renowned artist.
Description of the Artwork:
This woodcut matrix depicts the chemineau, a typical figure of the working class and itinerant French peasants. The character, both robust and marked by the wear of rural life, is highlighted, embodying the strength and resilience of the French peasant class of the time.
The artwork seems to capture the essence of these men, caught between light and shadow, in a representation that blends the harshness of daily life with a deeply moving form of humanity.
Condition:
The artwork is in good general condition, having been carefully preserved over the years. It is important to note that, as an antique and fragile object, the matrix shows natural signs of wear but remains in remarkable condition, especially for a piece of this type.
