About the Item

A beautiful mid 20th century French naïf oil on board depicting Place de la Concorde in Paris, by Jean Fous. The work is signed lower right and framed. Jean Fous is a well known French naïf artist who was featured in Anatole Jakovsky's ''Les Peintres Naïfs'', known as the bible of French naïf artists. A similar work by Fous depicting Place de la Concorde is featured in the book "Guide Naif de Paris". Artist: Jean Fous (French, 1901-1971) Title: Place de la Concorde Medium: Oil on board Size: 11 x 9.5 inches (28 x 24 cm) including the frame Jean Fous was the son of a picture framer living in the Rue du Dragon in Saint-Germain-des-Pres. Instead of following in his father's footsteps, he chose adventure; he travelled to the South of France and finally set up a stall in an open air market in the shade of St. Sernin Cathedral in Toulouse. Later he returned to Paris and continued to sell in the flea-market of the Porte de Vanves. He is therefore the second 'naive' artist who was a seller in a second hand market, for Paul Lefebvre was another. Fous's art is very personal, full of pictorial qualities. He is almost the only artist to have painted the Paris flea markets.

20th C View in Paris, Place de la Concorde, people by the Fontaine des Mers
Located in Woodbury, CT
M. Leveque (French, 20th Century) Place de la Concorde, Paris Oil on canvas, circa 1980 25 x 28 inches (framed) This vibrant view of the Place de la Concorde in Paris captures the bustling life and atmosphere of one of the city’s most celebrated landmarks. At the centre is the magnificent Fontaine des Mers, its cascades rendered with lively brushwork, while beyond rises the monumental Luxor Obelisk, a gift from Egypt in the 1830s that remains a defining feature of the square. The architectural backdrop of the Hôtel de Crillon and the Hôtel de la Marine situates the scene firmly within the grandeur of Paris’s historic heart. Painted with broad, impressionistic strokes, the artist animates the square with colourful figures in motion, their bright coats enlivening the composition and evoking the vibrancy of Parisian life. The fluid handling of paint and expressive use of colour are hallmarks of M. Leveque, a painter of mid- to late-20th century Paris street scenes...
