Mid-Century French Paris Street Scene Oil Painting by Antoine Blanchard

Decorate a living room, library, or office with this exquisite pair of Paris street scenes. Painted in France circa 1960, each artwork is set in a beautifully textured and painted frame, and depicts a lively Parisian view rendered in Blanchard’s signature impressionistic style. One composition, Les Quais et le Louvre, captures a bustling riverside scene with pedestrians, horse-drawn carriages, and kiosks under autumn skies; the other, La Porte Saint-Martin, presents a winter view of the famous monument animated with carriages and city life blanketed in snow. Executed with a thick, textured impasto technique, both paintings reveal the artist’s masterful use of light and movement to convey the vibrancy of everyday Paris. They are in excellent condition and signed in the lower corners by Antoine Blanchard.

Decorate a wall with this beautiful and colorful painting. Painted on canvas in Paris circa 1890 and set in a thick carved and gilt frame, the artwork beautifully captures the vibrant atmosphere of La Madeleine in Paris, a neoclassical church known for its imposing columns. The scene is set in front of the church, where bustling market stalls display a colorful array of flowers, and elegantly dressed Parisians walk by. The artist skillfully contrasts the grand architecture with the lively street life, highlighting the charm of daily activities in the heart of Paris. The use of rich colors and detailed brushwork conveys a sense of warmth and vibrancy, encapsulating a timeless Parisian moment. The artwork is signed in the lower left corner by French artist, E. Thioulouze, a follower of Edouard Leon Cortes. The painting is in excellent condition with vibrant colors and dressed in a beautiful and elegant gilt frame. The Church of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine, or less formally, La Madeleine, is a Catholic parish church on Place de la Madeleine in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. It was planned by Louis XV as the focal point of the new Rue Royal, leading to the new Place Louis XV, the present Place de la Concorde. It was dedicated in 1764 by Louis XV, but work halted due to the French Revolution. Napoleon Bonaparte had it redesigned in the Neoclassical style to become a monument to the glory of his armies. After his downfall in 1814 construction as a church resumed, but it was not completed until 1842. The building is surrounded on all four sides by Corinthian columns. The interior is noted for its frescoes on the domed ceiling, and monumental sculptures by François Rude, Carlo Marochetti and other prominent 19th-century French artists. Edouard Léon Cortès (1882-1969) was a French painter of French and Spanish ancestry. He is known as "Le Poète Parisien de la Peinture" or "the Parisian Poet of Painting...
