About the Item
Title: Hilltop Village Trees Sunlit Houses and Mediterranean Landscape Watercolor
Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929)
Medium: Watercolour on artists paper, unframed
Size (H x W): 6.5 x 8.5 inches
Condition: Good overall, with light handling marks and minor natural toning 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 vibrant watercolor by Pierre Neveu captures a sweeping view of a sunlit Mediterranean hilltop village, painted with the artist’s unmistakable blend of expressive colour and architectural sensitivity. Neveu layers warm ochres, terracotta reds, and soft creams to describe the tightly clustered houses cascading down the hillside, each structure outlined with swift, confident linework that gives the scene both rhythm and clarity. Cypress trees punctuate the composition, rising like dark vertical markers that draw the eye through the town and hint at its distinctly Southern European character—likely inspired by Provence or the hill villages of the French Riviera.
Beneath the village, Neveu paints a richly textured expanse of trees and gardens, rendered in bold washes of deep greens, sunlit yellows, and subtle marine tones. His brushwork is loose and instinctive, creating an impression of dappled light moving across the landscape. The play of dense shadow and brilliant colour infuses the piece with energy and Mediterranean warmth, while the distant blue hills provide a sense of depth and calm.
This work demonstrates Neveu’s mastery in balancing structure with spontaneity. His architectural studies, developed early in his training at the École Boulle and the National School of Fine Arts, merge seamlessly with his later Post-Impressionist sensibilities—resulting in landscapes that feel both grounded and lyrical. Collectors of French village scenes, Mediterranean landscapes, and expressive watercolor works will find this a particularly captivating piece. Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation, it offers a vivid evocation of Southern European charm and colour.

Trees in a French Country Landscape. Watercolor.
Located in Cotignac, FR
A French watercolour on paper landscape by Roger Decaux. The work is signed and dated (as yet undeciphered) bottom right. Presented in a wood frame with cut card mount.
A fresh and charming view of trees in a landscape. Decaux has used simple, fluid but strong strokes for this composition. One can feel the influence of 'abstraction of form' that was a part of his later work. The eye is drawn from the trees to the surrounding fields, the touches of colour to the right and then to the silhouette of the hills beyond. The use of watercolour at its best.
Roger DECAUX was born in 1919 in Dombasle sur Meurthe in the Lorraine. He studied art in Paris with Gino Severini and Jan Brusselmans...
