About the Item
Title: French Countryside Houses Cypress Trees Mountain View and Sunlit Street
Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929)
Medium: Watercolour on artists paper, unframed
Size (H x W): 6.25 x 9.75 inches
Condition: Good overall, with faint handling marks and slight edge wear consistent with studio storage. Some areas of the sheet show light pencil underdrawing and partially unfinished sections, characteristic of Neveu’s plein-air working style. Colours remain bright and paper stable. No tears or structural issues.
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 vibrant French countryside street scene by Pierre Neveu captures a sunlit cluster of houses framed by deep cypress greens and a sweeping mountain backdrop. Neveu’s architectural and landscape studies are admired for their balance of structure and spontaneity, and this work is an excellent example of his ability to express mood and place with minimal, confident marks.
The composition centres on two contrasting buildings: a striking golden-yellow façade with terracotta doorways, and a pale white house with a tiled roof and lush foliage spilling over its entrance. The warm tones of the architecture sit beautifully against the dense, cool shadows cast by the tall evergreens on the left. Neveu’s ink lines sketch out the underlying geometry, while the watercolour washes add atmosphere and immediacy.
In the background, soft purples and rose tones define a mountain ridge dotted with trees and hillside structures, suggesting a Provençal or Southern French village perched against the landscape. The artist uses transparent sky blues and tonal gradients to evoke the heat and clarity of midday light.
The street in the foreground is painted in loose washes of violet and grey, guiding the eye inward toward the sunlit courtyard. Pencil notations and visible construction lines reveal Neveu’s plein-air process, capturing the scene quickly and directly on site.
Pierre Neveu (b.1929), trained at the École Boulle and the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, exhibited widely at the Salon d’Automne and Salon des Artistes Français—receiving the Gold Medal in 1994. His village and mountain landscapes remain highly sought after for their expressive colour and architectural sensitivity.
Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation.
