This watercolor captures everything that makes Paul Lecomte's art so interesting and original, starting with his particular love for country life and his depictions of small villages, as seen in the details of everyday life on the right-hand side. But above all, he composes his works admirably: the left side is monumental, with the cross imposing itself on the architecture, almost foreshadowing modern art to come, while the right side, on the contrary, opens up the view with a descending diagonal line, full of life and color. This is what gives the work both its harmony and its strength.
Paul Lecomte was born in Paris on April 15, 1842. He was a painter of landscapes and coastal scenes.
He is considered as one of the last quality representatives from the Barbizon School.
He was the pupil of the painter Emile Lambinet (1813-1877) but the influence of Camille Corot and Henri Harpignies are the most noticeable in the developpement of his style.
His art is deeply influenced by japonism just as his almost exact contemporary Claude Monet.
He painted in Brittany, Normandy or South of France but also in England where he exhibited his works also.
He exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon from 1868 onward, winning different medals and awards.
He died in Paris on March 21, 1920.
Works by his hand are held by the Louvre Museum and the Musée du Petit Palais in Paris the Musée des Beaux Arts in Mulhouse and the Musée Baron-Martin in Gray.
