About the Item

Title: French Countryside Farm Landscape with Fields and Distant Hills Panoramic View Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929) Medium: Watercolour on card, unframed Signed lower left “P. Neveu”. Inscribed bottom left illegible. Size (H x W): 5.75 x 16.75 inches Condition: Good overall, with light handling marks and soft edge wear consistent with age. No major tears or losses observed. Provenance: From the artist’s studio sale in France; all works by this artist in our collection originate from the artist’s estate. Description: This expansive panoramic watercolour by Pierre Neveu presents a serene view across the French countryside, capturing a cluster of low farm buildings set amid wide, cultivated fields beneath a soft, atmospheric sky. Executed in 1982, the work reflects Neveu’s mature approach to landscape, where structure, rhythm, and colour harmony take precedence over literal detail. Broad horizontal bands of deep and luminous green dominate the foreground, suggesting fertile farmland and irrigated fields, while a brighter yellow-green strip introduces contrast and depth through the centre of the composition. Beyond, simple farmhouses with warm terracotta roofs are nestled among trees, their forms loosely defined with expressive ink line and confident watercolour washes. In the distance, rolling blue and violet hills dissolve into the horizon, lending the scene a calm sense of scale and openness. Neveu’s handling is fluid and economical, using layered washes to create atmosphere while allowing the paper to breathe through areas of translucency. The panoramic format enhances the feeling of space and stillness, inviting the viewer to take in the landscape as a continuous, unbroken vista. This signed and dated work is an excellent example of Neveu’s countryside scenes from the early 1980s and will appeal to collectors of French Post-Impressionist landscapes, rural European views, and modern works on paper. Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation, it offers both decorative impact and quiet painterly sophistication.
