About the Item
Title: French Village House with Cypress Trees La Maison Churchill Watercolor Landscape
Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929)
Medium: Watercolour on card, unframed
Size (H x W): 6 x 5.5 inches
Inscribed lower margin La maison Churchill
Condition: Good overall, with light handling marks and faint edge wear to the sheet, 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: This atmospheric French landscape by Pierre Neveu depicts a golden stone village house surrounded by tall cypress trees, with distant hills and a soft, luminous sky beyond. Executed in expressive watercolour with fluid ink accents, the work captures the warmth and serenity of the southern French countryside. The handwritten inscription La maison Churchill on the lower margin suggests that the property may have been locally known by this name, though its exact historical reference remains unclear. Rather than a formal title, the inscription offers a glimpse into the personal associations or notes made by the artist during his travels and plein-air studies.
Neveu’s brushwork is loose yet deliberate, combining transparent washes with gestural marks that evoke the textures of Mediterranean foliage and sunlit architecture. Deep greens and blues contrast beautifully with the ochre tones of the building, while the purple-grey mountains in the distance introduce depth and atmosphere. His composition balances structure and spontaneity, revealing both his academic training at the École Boulle and École des Beaux-Arts and his lifelong engagement with landscape painting.
Throughout his career, Neveu explored rural France with a keen sensitivity to light, place, and seasonal colour. This work exemplifies his ability to condense a vivid sense of location into a small format, creating a landscape that feels both intimate and expansive.
An ideal piece for collectors of French village scenes, Provence-inspired landscapes, or expressive modernist watercolours, this painting would sit beautifully in kitchens, hallways, or relaxed living spaces where its quiet warmth can be appreciated.
