Description: This atmospheric French village scene by Pierre Neveu depicts a historic stone bridge crossing a quiet river, surrounded by warm-toned traditional houses and soft greenery. Neveu, celebrated for his architectural sensibility and expressive draughtsmanship, frequently painted rural French towns, capturing their textures, light, and timeless character. This piece exemplifies his ability to translate structure into fluid, loosely layered watercolour.
At the centre of the composition is the sweeping stone arch of the bridge, rendered in muted greys, browns, and olive tones. The subtle ink work outlines the bridge’s masonry and gives form to its elegant curvature. Beneath the arch, dappled reflections and hints of foliage suggest the flow of water and the lushness of the riverbank.
Clustered above the bridge are traditional village houses with ochre and cream facades, accented by terracotta roofs and shutters in cool notes of blue-green. Neveu’s soft washes and broken colour application evoke the patina of old stone, weathered plaster, and the warmth of provincial sunlight. The right side of the scene features a charming elevated balcony structure, adding depth and a touch of rustic character.
The surrounding foliage—painted in natural greens and brownish washes—frames the architecture and softens the composition, grounding the bridge within its landscape. Pencil underdrawing remains visible in areas, offering a glimpse into Neveu’s working process and reinforcing the immediacy of this plein-air study.
Pierre Neveu (b.1929), a distinguished Post-Impressionist trained at the École Boulle and the École des Beaux-Arts, earned significant recognition at the Salon d’Automne and the Salon des Artistes Français, receiving their Gold Medal in 1994.
Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation.
