Title: Italian Hilltown Street Scene with Church Tower and Mountain View Watercolour

Medium: Watercolour on artists paper, unframed
Size (H x W): 9.75 x 6.25 inches

Description: This captivating Italian hilltown street scene by Pierre Neveu captures the intimacy and rhythm of Mediterranean life. The viewer’s gaze is drawn along a winding cobbled street framed by ochre and terracotta façades, toward distant whitewashed houses that climb the foothills of a deep green mountain range. A church tower rises to the left, anchoring the composition in light and structure.
Neveu’s mastery of colour and contrast animates the scene: the warm glow of sunlit plaster walls meets cool mountain shadows and flashes of Mediterranean blue. His characteristic looseness of brushstroke balances with the underlying architectural precision, revealing both painterly sensitivity and observational accuracy.
Figures drift through the composition — brief, gestural marks suggesting movement and the quiet hum of village life. The setting evokes the Ligurian or Piedmont region, where pastel-toned houses cling to steep terrain and every corner opens onto a new vista of hills and sky.
This work exemplifies Neveu’s fascination with southern European architecture and atmosphere, blending structure with spontaneity. It stands as a lyrical study in light, place, and human scale — a timeless depiction of the everyday poetry of Italian village life, rendered through the expressive eye of a French modernist painter.
