About the Item

Title: Roquebrune Cap Martin Village Stairway French Riviera Watercolour Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929) Medium: Watercolour on artist paper, unframed Size (H x W): 8.5 x 6.25 inches Inscribed lower right “Roquebrune” Condition: Good overall, colours vibrant, minor edge wear 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: An elegant and atmospheric Mediterranean village study by Pierre Neveu (b.1929), depicting a sunlit stairway in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin on the French Riviera. The stepped alleyway, lined with whitewashed façades and trailing greenery, leads the eye upwards towards a deep cobalt sky — a quintessential feature of Neveu’s southern works. Balancing architectural precision with painterly fluidity, Neveu captures both the geometry of the built environment and the warmth of Mediterranean light. His restrained palette of violet-grey, indigo, and terracotta suggests early morning shadow and the cool relief of stone against heat. A student of the École Boulle and the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Neveu built a distinguished career as Professor of Drawing for the City of Paris, later receiving the Gold Medal of the Salon des Artistes Français in 1994. His travels across France inspired a lifetime of plein-air sketches — intimate, impressionistic moments of place and atmosphere. Stamped “Champs Élysées par Pierre Neveu”, this work comes from the artist’s personal studio collection. A serene and sunlit glimpse of the Riviera, Roquebrune distills the spirit of southern France into light, line, and colour.

French Village House Steps Garden Path and Hillside Landscape Watercolor
By Pierre Neveu
Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire
Title: French Village House Steps Garden Path and Hillside Landscape Watercolor Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929) Medium: Watercolour on artists paper, unframed Size (H x W): 8.75 x 6.5 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 lyrical watercolor by Pierre Neveu captures a peaceful French village scene framed by a sunlit garden path, steps, and a cluster of traditional houses set against rolling hills. Neveu’s fluid brushwork and instinctive sense of colour bring instant warmth to the composition. Golden ochres, deep greens, and soft sky blues harmonise to create a vibrant yet intimate view of rural life in France. At the centre of the composition, a set of gently descending steps leads toward a small white house with a sharply peaked roof—one of the characteristic architectural forms found in many historic French villages. Surrounding it, Neveu uses expressive, loosely applied washes to depict dense foliage, casting natural shadows across the walkway. The vegetation, built from layered greens, ochres, and deep blue-greys, frames the scene beautifully and adds depth to the composition. Beyond the houses, the distant hillside glows with warm, earthy tones—suggesting late summer or early autumn light spreading across the fields. Neveu’s characteristic blend of linework and transparency gives the painting a sense of immediacy, as though capturing a moment during a quiet stroll through a village lane. His architectural training subtly informs the structure of the houses, even as the overall work maintains an impressionistic softness. Perfect for collectors of European village landscapes...
