About the Item

A beautiful oil on canvas painting by the French artist, Jean Salabet. Salabet was a Parisian painter known for his colorful cityscapes depicting the times of his generation. His work is comparable to that of Jules Herve, Antoine Blanchard, and Edouard Cortes. This painting is a wonderful example of his work from the prime of his career. Here you see a bustling street scene with figures, cars, a horse and carriage by Place de l'Opéra and Café de la Paix. A bustling street scene filled with life on a crisp Fall day in the late afternoon at twilight, with people walking alongside the streets of Paris under an overcast sky, enhancing the scene's atmosphere. Salabet's signature style uses a diverse and vibrant color palette, blending warm earth tones with cool blues and grays. His impressionistic brushwork creates a sense of movement and atmosphere, effectively conveying the excitement and charm of a busy day in Paris. Figures are depicted throughout the streets, and the city lights flicker and reflect on the wet ground, magically illuminating the scene. The details are magnificent as Salabet captures the architecture of Paris so beautifully; you can feel the energy of the day and the excitement. The piece is signed by the artist lower left, and it comes housed in an elegant wood frame with linen liner and hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed. Art measures 18 × 21.5 inches Frame measures 25.25 x 28.75 inches Jean Salabet was a pseudonym used by the Spanish artist Juan Bayón Salado (1913-1995) in the mid-20th century. Juan Bayón Salado (Jean Salabet) was born in Bilbao Spain on June 24, 1913. He settled in Paris between 1950 and 1969 and when using the pseudonym Jean Salabet between 1950 and 1957 he was mainly selling his works through Mr. Reynald Forgeot's gallery initially, and Mr. André Roussard later.

As a Parisian painter he was mostly known for his colorful cityscapes depicting the times of his generation including the signatures “Bay Sala”, “Bayon” and “Jean Salabet” used by the artist. His work is comparable to those of Jules Herve, Antoine Blanchard and Edouard Cortes. His paintings are a wonderful example of his dedication and passion throughout his of his career. Exemplary depictions of his pieces are city scenes of artist's vendors selling paintings along the view of Notre Dame de Paris, in Paris. People are scattered throughout between the tree-lined Parisian streets. Or like flower vendors walking down the street with a view from the Pont Neuf bridge, the oldest standing bridge crossing the river Seine, with people are scattered throughout with cars depicted in the background.
