Georges Dominique Rouault
Le Pont Neuf, Paris, Mid Century Oil on Canvas View The Seine Towards Notre Dame

1950s

About the Item

French Mid Century oil on canvas painting of Le Pont Neuf bridge in Paris by Georges Dominique Rouault. Signed lower left, presented in fine gilt and painted wood frame with linen slip. Charming and atmospheric view of this iconic Parisian scene, Le Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge in Paris crossing the river Seine (It has been listed since 1889 as a Monument Historique by the French Ministry of Culture). On the other side of the bridge is the Île de la Cité. The tip of the island seen in the painting is the location of the Square du Vert-Galant, a small public park named in honour of Henry IV, nicknamed the "Green Gallant". The spire of Notre Dame de Paris can be seen in the distance. Rouault has captured the scene of the Seine river barges waiting for their cargoes, as well as smaller sailing vessels on the other shore, all against the backdrop of the wonderful classical buildings under a typical Parisian sky. Rouault, a notable French Impressionist specialized in views of Paris. Rouault exhibited widely and with success and is well-listed in all relevant art reference works, including the Benezit. He mainly painted in watercolour on paper so his works of oil on canvas are more rare and sought after.

  • Orientalist Beach Scene, Chenoua Plage, Algerie, Oil On Canvas.
    Located in Cotignac, FR
    An Orientalist beach scene of the coast of Algeria at Chenoua by French painter Gustave Lino. The painting is signed, located and dated bottom left. Presented in a plain gilt frame. A charming and atmospheric view of a day at the beach. The revellers are enjoying bathing in the Mediterranean, resting under their colourful parasols against the sun and exploring the far off rocks of the cove. The sea gently lapping against the rocks at the shore. A small row boat ready for an excursion. Lino has beautifully captured the feeling of joy and fun that a day at the beach brings. Gustave Lino was born in 1893 in Mulhouse, France. At the age of twenty, he went to Marseille, discovered Provence and the Mediterranean. He was already interested in painting and art from numerous visits to the museum of his hometown, but he had not yet followed any training in this field. In Marseille, far from home and idle, he decides, almost on a whim, to travel to Algiers, without really knowing what he will discover there. He embarked for Algiers at the age of 19 in 1912. He exhibited with his friends Romeo Charles Aglietti in 1914 at 'Herero' in Algiers. Unfortunately in 1914 in Corsica in Ajaccio, being of German nationality and Mulhouse being part of the German Empire since 1871, he was interned as a 'civilian'. He spent the First World War in the Isle of Beauty but spent his time wisely developing his artistic skills. He realised many paintings as well as the historical decorations of the Solferino Hotel in Ajaccio and the religious decorations of the castle of Malaspena-Massa in Belgodère. In December 1918, he returned to Algiers where he was a pupil of Georges-Antoine Rochegrosse. He exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1926 and at the Danton gallery, rue La Boétie in 1927. He settled permanently in Algiers and then in Bou-Saada. Back in Algeria, he took a close interest in the painting of Albert Marquet, which particularly seduced him and with whom he became a close friend. The transparent sharpness, this harmony of lines and tones becomes his ideal of perfection. He specialised in Algerian seascapes and landscapes, a colourist above all. Becoming an adopted member of the group called "Painters of Poetic Reality" (with Jean...
