About the Item

Title: Church Tower Village Street Scene Watercolour French Post Impressionist Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929) Medium: Watercolour on artists paper, unframed Size (H x W): 5 x 7 inches Inscribed lower right Condition: Good overall with light handling to the sheet edges and the natural deckle of the paper; colours remain fresh and surface is sound, consistent with age. Provenance: From the artist’s studio sale in France; all works by this artist in our collection originate from the artist’s estate. Description: A delicate and atmospheric French village scene by Pierre Neveu, capturing the charm of a provincial street crowned by a tall church spire. Executed in fluid watercolour on textured paper, this work titled Tour et maisons (Tower and Houses) reflects Neveu’s mastery of architectural composition and tonal balance. The central steeple rises gracefully above slate rooftops and sunlit walls, framed by patches of green foliage and the soft movement of passing clouds. Neveu’s loose, expressive brushwork conveys both structure and spontaneity—the essence of the Post-Impressionist approach. His restrained yet vivid palette, combining cool greys, earthy ochres, and flashes of cerulean blue, evokes the shifting light of a quiet afternoon in rural France. The artist’s sensitivity to place transforms this simple streetscape into a lyrical study of form and atmosphere. Collectors of French landscape and architectural subjects will find this watercolour especially appealing for its intimate scale and poetic detail. Pierre Neveu (b.1929) trained at the École Boulle and the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, later becoming Professor of Drawing for the City of Paris. His work has been exhibited widely across France, including at the Salon d’Automne and the Salon des Artistes Français. Known for his confident draughtsmanship and expressive use of colour, Neveu’s paintings celebrate the quiet rhythm of French village life. This unframed work offers a timeless glimpse of France’s rural architecture—elegant, serene, and full of light.
