Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929)
Medium: Watercolour on artists paper, unframed
Size (H x W): 8.25 x 6.75 inches

Description: This atmospheric watercolor by Pierre Neveu captures a sunlit Mediterranean village nestled at the foot of a dramatic mountain range. Neveu’s expressive, confident handling of colour and form brings the scene to life: bright terracotta roof tiles glow warmly against crisp whitewashed walls, while deep blues and greens create a striking interplay of shadow and light throughout the narrow streets.
The mountains in the distance—painted in layered washes of slate blue, mauve, and smoky grey—provide a compelling backdrop. Their rugged silhouettes contrast beautifully with the soft, warm tones of the buildings below, suggesting a location in Provence or along the southern French foothills. Neveu’s brushwork is fluid and intuitive, capturing the essence of heat, elevation, and southern light. The village’s architecture is sensitively observed, with sloping tiled roofs, shuttered windows, and a small streetlamp hinting at a quiet, timeless community.
The presence of cool blue shadows in the foreground adds depth and perspective, inviting the viewer into the intimate hillside passageway. Neveu’s architectural training underpins the structure of the composition, yet his impressionistic treatment of foliage and stone keeps the scene lively and spontaneous.
This painting will appeal to collectors of Mediterranean landscapes, French village scenes, and expressive watercolour work. Unframed and ideal for bespoke presentation, it offers a vivid and serene depiction of Southern European charm—perfect for adding warmth and escapism to any interior.
