About the Item
A beautiful and huge mid 20th century French oil on canvas depicting Saint-Florent in Corsica, by Maurice Loirand. Striking and excellent quality work from the 1960's on exhibition scale by this very interesting artist.
Maurice Loirand is featured in Anatole Jakovsky;s "Peintres Naifs" which is considered to be the bible on French Naif painters. In the publication he describes Loirand as "better than Lefranc" and "among the best naive artists" because he "tackles large compositions". This is certainly such a composition.
The work is signed lower right and comes from a collection of Maurice Loirand paintings that we attained from the collection of a friend of the artist. Insribed with location on the reverse
