About the Item

Title: Rudinal Provence Village Yellow Houses Cypress Trees 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: Rudinal 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 vibrant village landscape by French Post-Impressionist painter Pierre Neveu captures the warmth, colour, and architectural charm of rural Provence. The composition centres on a cluster of yellow-painted houses with terracotta tiled roofs — a hallmark of Southern French hill towns — set against a brilliant blue sky and framed by lush greenery. Neveu’s handwritten inscription “Rudinal” at the lower right suggests a specific local setting or hamlet, reinforcing the authenticity of the work as a plein-air study made directly on site. The artist’s distinctive style is immediately recognisable: dynamic brushwork, expressive ink lines, and radiant colour harmonies. The golden façades of the buildings glow under the Mediterranean sun, while dark cypress trees and deep green shrubs punctuate the scene with vertical rhythm and contrasting cool tones. In the foreground, a pale white garden gate and shaded pathway lead the eye naturally into the heart of the village, inviting the viewer to wander through its narrow streets. Neveu’s training at the École Boulle and the École des Beaux-Arts manifests in his ability to combine structural clarity with the freedom of intuitive mark-making. The result is a landscape rich in movement and atmosphere, capturing not only the visual character but also the heat, brightness, and texture of Provence. Ideal for collectors of Southern French landscapes, Post-Impressionist watercolours, or artworks featuring Provençal architecture, this piece offers an evocative and timeless depiction of village life in the Mediterranean. Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation, it adds warmth, vitality, and colour to any interior.

Trees in a French Country Landscape. Watercolor.
Located in Cotignac, FR
A French watercolour on paper landscape by Roger Decaux. The work is signed and dated (as yet undeciphered) bottom right. Presented in a wood frame with cut card mount. A fresh and charming view of trees in a landscape. Decaux has used simple, fluid but strong strokes for this composition. One can feel the influence of 'abstraction of form' that was a part of his later work. The eye is drawn from the trees to the surrounding fields, the touches of colour to the right and then to the silhouette of the hills beyond. The use of watercolour at its best. Roger DECAUX was born in 1919 in Dombasle sur Meurthe in the Lorraine. He studied art in Paris with Gino Severini and Jan Brusselmans...
