About the Item

Mid Century colourful view of a Venetian piazza, watercolour and gouache on craft paper mounted on paper by Pierre Pruvost. The painting is signed bottom right and titled. This charming and vibrant painting captures a lively Venetian street scene, rendered with dynamic brushstrokes and rich colours. The composition showcases a sun-drenched square bordered by historic buildings, each reflecting the architectural grandeur of Venice. Lush greenery contrasts with the earthy tones of the structures, adding depth and life to the scene. The perspective leads the viewer's eye towards the centre where animated figures are depicted, a man walking his dog, a child holding her mother's hand, a stylish lady with a coat and black handbag all bringing warmth and human presence to the urban landscape. The play of light and shadow is expertly utilized, enhancing the texture and dimensionality of the buildings. Unique detailing, such as chimneys and archways, reveals the artist’s keen attention to the city’s intricate architecture. Overall, the painting conveys a sense of motion and vibrancy, capturing the essence of a bustling Venetian day. Pruvost was a talented colourist, inspired by both the Fauvists and the Impressionists his work is close to that of his friend François DESNOYER. He settled in Antibes, where he established himself as a major artist of the city. He was extensively exhibited in his lifetime and his works are held in collections worldwide.
