About the Item
Title: Provençal Village Houses Stone Walls Terracotta Roofs French Landscape Watercolor
Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929)
Medium: Watercolour on artist paper, unframed
Size (H x W): 6.25 x 8.5 inches
Inscribed lower right: Rubert
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 lively Provençal village scene by French Post-Impressionist painter Pierre Neveu captures the charm and architectural character of Southern France. The handwritten inscription, “Rubert,” likely refers to a local hamlet or specific place name within Provence, anchoring the work within Neveu’s favoured geographical region. The sunlit façades, terracotta roof tiles, and cascading greenery together form a quintessential Mediterranean setting, painted with Neveu’s signature energy and immediacy.
Neveu’s palette is rich and warm: golden stone walls glow beneath an intense turquoise sky, while shadows fall in cool greys and indigos. The cluster of houses is depicted with a combination of expressive ink linework and confident, fluid washes, giving the composition both structure and spontaneity. A narrow set of stone steps rises between the buildings, drawing the viewer deeper into the village’s quiet, lived-in spaces. Olive-green shrubs and leafy trees frame the architecture, breaking up the scene with colour and texture.
As with many of Neveu’s watercolours, the work reflects his formal training at the École Boulle and École des Beaux-Arts, balancing observational accuracy with free, gestural mark-making. The composition is intimate yet atmospheric, capturing not just a view but the feeling of a sun-drenched afternoon in a small Provençal village.
This is an ideal piece for collectors of French regional landscapes, Mediterranean architecture, or expressive plein-air watercolours. Bright, warm, and evocative, it offers a beautiful slice of Provence and would suit both modern and traditional interiors. Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation.
