About the Item
Title: Revestel Provence Mountain Landscape with Stone Houses French Watercolor
Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929)
Medium: Watercolour on artist paper, unframed
Size (H x W): 6 x 8.25 inches
Condition: Good overall, with visible graphite grid lines and light handling marks typical of an artist’s preparatory study
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 and gouache landscape by Pierre Neveu captures the rugged beauty and atmospheric light of Revestel, a small Provençal hamlet nestled among rolling hills and dramatic mountain scenery. The artist’s handwritten inscription “Revestel” at the lower right confirms the exact location depicted—adding strong SEO value and making the work especially desirable for collectors of Provence landscapes and French regional scenes.
The painting is structured around a cluster of pale stone houses, their warm terracotta roofs glowing beneath the Mediterranean sun. Behind them, dense green vegetation rises into shadowed pathways and rocky outcrops, suggesting the steep terrain characteristic of the region. Neveu paints the mountains in layered blues ranging from soft lavender to deep cobalt, giving the sense of vastness, heat haze, and shifting afternoon light across the valleys. The foreground is an interplay of cool greys and sunlit yellows, capturing a quiet rural path or courtyard leading into the village.
A distinctive feature of this work is the clear graphite grid drawn across the composition—a hallmark of Neveu’s method when preparing a study for a larger, more finished painting. The grid provides rare insight into his process, revealing how he planned proportion, scaling, and spatial structure. Rather than diminishing the image, it enhances its value as a working document from the artist’s studio, showing the intersection of technical draftsmanship and expressive plein-air colour.
Collectors who appreciate Provençal hill villages, Post-Impressionist landscape studies, Mediterranean architecture, and artist-process works will find this piece particularly compelling. Its combination of bright colour, lively brushwork, and structural clarity exemplifies Neveu’s mastery in capturing the spirit of southern France.
Pierre Neveu (b.1929), trained at the École Boulle and the École des Beaux-Arts, later became Professor of Drawing for the City of Paris. He exhibited widely at the Salon d’Automne and the Salon des Artistes Français, gaining recognition for his luminous landscapes and architectural studies throughout France.
Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation, this is a charismatic and location-specific Provençal study with strong appeal for collectors.
