Description:
This sweeping French countryside scene by Guy Nicod (1923–2021) captures the quiet rhythms of rural life in exquisite pastel detail. At the centre, a cluster of grazing cows is depicted in a lush green field, flanked by golden tilled earth and meandering paths that draw the viewer deep into the composition. A stately tree in the right foreground anchors the image, its textured foliage rendered in soft greens and browns, while a row of saplings lines the left-hand slope, echoing the land’s gentle contours.
In the distance, church spires rise above a village on the horizon, their blue rooftops contrasting dramatically with the overcast sky above. The fields are divided into vivid bands of colour — ochre, teal, spring green, and plum — capturing both the seasonal richness of the landscape and the geometric beauty of cultivated farmland.
Nicod’s use of pastel here is particularly sensitive, blending loose, expressive strokes with areas of firmer structure and detail. This work speaks to the artist’s deep connection with the French rural landscape, conveying a lived-in familiarity that elevates the scene beyond mere observation. The mixture of naturalistic perspective and abstracted shape echoes elements of post-Impressionism, while his palette and mark-making remain uniquely his own.
This piece would make a striking addition to a collection of European landscape art, offering warmth, movement, and a window into the enduring charm of the French countryside.
