About the Item
Work on watercolor paper signed and dated 1945
Gray wooden frame with glass pane
Dimension with frame : 94 x 73 x 3 cm
This original watercolor and gouache by Aurèle Barraud, dated 1945, depicts the historic Church of Saint-Étienne-du-Mont, an iconic landmark of Paris’s Latin Quarter.
Rendered from a slightly off-center frontal perspective, the composition emphasizes the church’s architecturally complex façade, where Gothic and Renaissance elements coexist in harmonious balance. The soaring bell tower rises elegantly against a sky animated by broad, expressive brushstrokes—hallmarks of Barraud’s confident and restrained pictorial language.
The palette is composed primarily of cool blue-grays and warm ochres, subtly heightened with white accents. The interplay between the transparency of watercolor and the opacity of gouache creates a nuanced rendering of volume and stone texture, lending the architecture both solidity and atmospheric softness. The surrounding space, treated with economy of detail, reinforces the monumentality and quiet presence of the building.
Executed in 1945, this work belongs to a significant historical moment and offers a sensitive artistic record of postwar Paris. It reflects Aurèle Barraud’s enduring interest in urban landscapes and French architectural heritage, making it a compelling example of mid-20th-century French modern figurative art.
Signed and dated by the artist, this work on paper is preserved in very good condition.

View of Ariccia, a preparatory drawing by Achille Bénouville (1815 - 1891)
Located in PARIS, FR
This very modern drawing presents a view of Ariccia, a small town 25 kilometres south-east of Rome. The Palazzo Chigi (in which the film-maker Luchino Visconti would film a large part of The Leopard a century later) and the adjoining church are seen from the bottom of the ravine that surrounds the town. This drawing is a moving testimony to the attraction of the city for artists of the Romantic period, who established in Ariccia a vivid artists' colony.
