He became a respected artist, known for his Pointillist and Impressionist paintings of French landscapes. He studied at the École d’Arts Graphiques in Bordeaux, where he obtained a degree in lithography, then moved to Paris in 1962. There he devoted his time entirely to paintings and began to display his work in 1964 at the Salon des Indépendants. His painting style is associated with impressionism and pointillism. He is known for landscapes, townscapes, use of vibrant colour, and atmospheric effects like luminous mist. His technique was precise and disciplined, but created visions of almost dream-like quality. His impressionist use of colour often imbue his works with a gentle glow of positivity. Influenced by the likes of Seurat, Renoir and Pissaro, he pursued his own style and adapted it over a long and successful career. His works have been shown in glamourous exhibitions in cities including Paris, New York, Beverly Hills and Cannes. Vollet died in 2015, leaving a rich legacy of work that captures the beauty of the regions in which he worked. © Big Sky Fine Art This is an original oil on canvas by French artist Jean Vollet, painted around 1970 and signed by the artist in the lower right section. The work depicts the River Eure in the Old Quarter of Chartres, France, a scene full of historic character and charm. In the foreground, the view is anchored by the Rue des 3 Moulins bridge, with its rustic railings crossing the flowing river. Further back, the stone Pont Bouju adds depth to the composition, connecting the historic buildings that line the waterfront. Rows of traditional French houses, with steep rooftops and shuttered windows, rise in soft pastel tones, their reflections shimmering on the water’s surface. Autumn trees frame the scene, painted in a vibrant impressionistic style with glowing shades of ochre, orange, and green beneath a radiant, textured sky. Jean Vollet’s masterful handling of colour and light captures both the atmosphere of Chartres’ riverfront and the timeless beauty of its architectural heritage. This piece is not only an exquisite example of Vollet’s artistry but also a highly evocative representation of the River Eure, Rue des 3 Moulins, and Pont Bouju in Chartres, making it a standout work for collectors of French art and Impressionist-inspired landscapes.

It wants for nothing and is supplied ready to hang and display. The painting is signed and dated lower left. Previously with Galerie Jean-Marr, Le Havre, France. Henri Joseph Pauwels was a notable twentieth century Flemish painter, rooted in Impressionist traditions. He was born on 16 December 1903 in Sleidinge near Antwerp. He died on 12 March 1983 in Beveren-Waas. Pauwels trained academically in Paris, then in private studios in Antwerp. His early works demonstrate his academic training, but he was heavily influenced by Impressionism and his later work has a more vibrant palette and airy, loose brushwork. He was known for his plein air technique, as shown in this piece. Pauwels exhibited widely, mainly in Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam and was successful both before and after WWII. Some of his works are held in public collections, including the Ghent Museum. His works were highly collectable amongst his contemporaries in Belgium, France and the Netherlands. He is known for a range of genres but is best known for his large canvases of romantic landscapes and country life. He also painted harbour scenes and some still life. His works remain collectable for their optimistic, poetic and nostalgic views of wholesome country life. © Big Sky Fine Art Discover Paysage Arboré, an original 1966 oil painting on board by Belgian artist Henri Joseph Pauwels (1903–1983).
