About the Item

A beautiful oil on canvas painting by the French artist, Jean Salabet. Salabet was a Parisian painter known for his colorful cityscapes depicting the times of his generation. His work is comparable to that of Jules Herve, Antoine Blanchard, and Edouard Cortes. This painting is a wonderful example of his work from the prime of his career. Here, you see "La Place Dutertre a Montmartre" in Paris, a busy street scene filled with life at twilight. We can see an artist set up to paint with his canvas and easel as figures walk alongside the bustling streets of Paris. The lights from the cafes and stores flicker and reflect on the wet ground, magically illuminating the scene. The details are magnificent as Salabet captures the architecture of Paris so beautifully; you can feel the energy of the day and the excitement. The piece is signed by the artist lower right, and it comes housed in a wonderful wood-carved antique frame with name plate affixed bottom center and hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed. Art measures 10.75 x 13.75 inches Frame measures 15.75 x 18.75 inches Jean Salabet was a pseudonym used by the Spanish artist Juan Bayón Salado (1913-1995) in the mid-20th century. Juan Bayón Salado (Jean Salabet) was born in Bilbao Spain on June 24, 1913. He settled in Paris between 1950 and 1969 and when using the pseudonym Jean Salabet between 1950 and 1957 he was mainly selling his works through Mr. Reynald Forgeot's gallery initially, and Mr. André Roussard later. Faithful to the Post-Impressionism style, he exhibited in Montmartre in the gallery of rue Norvins, which would become that of Claude Bussière, then at André Roussard) during his long stay in Paris. As a Parisian painter he was mostly known for his colorful cityscapes depicting the times of his generation including the signatures “Bay Sala”, “Bayon” and “Jean Salabet” used by the artist. His work is comparable to those of Jules Herve, Antoine Blanchard and Edouard Cortes. His paintings are a wonderful example of his dedication and passion throughout his of his career. Exemplary depictions of his pieces are city scenes of artist's vendors selling paintings along the view of Notre Dame de Paris, in Paris. People are scattered throughout between the tree-lined Parisian streets. Or like flower vendors walking down the street with a view from the Pont Neuf bridge, the oldest standing bridge crossing the river Seine, with people are scattered throughout with cars depicted in the background. As well wonderful examples of his works the street scenes with bustling cars and the traffic of the people walking along the sidewalks in front of the storefront view of Parisian cafe's as well as wonderful depictions of the most important Parisian monuments and iconic views of the city of Paris. Including in each one of his works a diverse color palette with vibrant details that Juan Bayón Salado (Jean Salabet) captures in a magnificent way of the architecture of Paris so beautifully; you can feel the energy of the day and the excitement.
