Description: A vibrant and architectural landscape by French Post-Impressionist Pierre Neveu, depicting the historic riverside town of Clisson in western France. Known for its terracotta roofs, medieval castle, and Italian-inspired design, Clisson is beautifully captured here in a shimmering composition that reflects the warm ochres and deep greens of its riverside setting. Neveu’s use of watercolour and ink combines structural precision with lyrical spontaneity, creating a work rich in both atmosphere and geometry.
Faint pencil grid lines visible beneath the surface suggest this was a preparatory study for a larger composition, offering insight into the artist’s meticulous working process. The warm sunlight glows across the clustered buildings and their reflections in the Sèvre Nantaise river, while expressive green foliage softens the architectural forms.
Pierre Neveu trained at the École Boulle and the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, later becoming Professor of Drawing for the City of Paris. A celebrated Post-Impressionist, he exhibited at major French salons including the Salon d’Automne and the Salon des Artistes Français. His work is admired for its clarity of structure, brilliant palette, and rhythmic sense of space.
Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation, this elegant French watercolour offers collectors a captivating view of Clisson’s historic charm and Neveu’s mastery of light and composition.

Quay by the Bridge in Paris
By Roland Dubuc
Located in London, GB
'Quay by the Bridge in Paris', watercolour on art paper, by Roland Dubuc (circa 1970s-80s). The broad Parisian river Seine divides the city into the left and right banks. The Left Bank, or Rive Gauche is famous for the Latin Quarter while the Right Bank is better known for attractions like Arc de Triomphe, Montmartre, and the Louvre. A trip here simply isn’t complete without a stroll along this romantic river. And a cruise on the Seine or drinks aboard an anchored boat along the quay is a wonderful experience as well. The artist Dubuc created many artworks with the Seine as backdrop. You can have this one right in your living room. In good overall condition, the piece is newly framed and glazed with anti-reflective glass. Upon request a video of the painting may be provided.
About the Artist: Roland DuBuc (1924-1998), French artist, the sixth of 13 children and son of a construction worker. The very precariousness of the family's financial situation forced him to go to work at the age of 14. In extreme poverty, he moved to Rouen where he was lodged by the Salvation Army. During that time he struck up friendships with several artists who gave him advice and taught him techniques of drawing. He moved to other cities later where he met painters including, among others, Fred Pailhès...
