About the Item

This oil on canvas, signed by R. Béguin and dated 1930, depicts a historic village or old town scene, rendered with a strong pictorial sensibility and careful attention to traditional architecture. The composition is structured around a narrow cobblestone passage, framed by tall, timeworn façades punctuated by irregular windows and wooden shutters. The slightly converging buildings create an intimate perspective that draws the viewer into the heart of the village, lending the scene a quiet, timeless atmosphere. The brushwork is confident and architectural, with visible texture in the rendering of stone walls, plaster surfaces, and the paved ground. The color palette—dominated by ochres, warm greys, soft pinkish beiges, and muted greens—is harmonized by a pale blue sky, bringing light and balance to the composition. Subtle variations of light and shadow suggest a calm moment of the day. Rooted in the tradition of mid-20th-century village and urban landscape painting, the work reflects post-impressionist influences while embracing a more synthetic and structural approach. It stands as an evocative and collectible painting, valued for its authenticity, architectural rhythm, and serene atmosphere. 1930 oil on canvas, historic village painting, urban landscape mid 20th century, architectural painting, figurative modern art, signed dated artwork, European village scene, collectible fine art, vintage urban landscape
