About the Item
This mid-20th century painting was found in southern France; set in the original wooden frame with white wash finish, the colorful painting features sailboats in harbour with housing in the background. The work of art is signed by the artist J.C. Wright on the lower right, and dated 1958. The piece is in excellent condition with rich and vivid colors.
James Couper Wright was born in Kirkwall, Scotland on March 21, 1906 and grew up in the Orkney Islands. Wright studied at Edinburgh College of Art, graduating with top honors. After graduation, he went to France and Germany on scholarship to study the design of stained glass windows. While studying this art form, he worked with transparent painting mediums and became particularly interested in watercolor painting. Following his art studies, he came to the U.S. in the 1930s. After working for seven years in Santa Barbara, he settled in Pasadena, where he taught at the Otis Art Institute, City College, Occidental College and Coronado School of Fine Arts.. During the 1930s, his still lifes and landscapes were considered bold and modern and garnered 48 awards. Wright died in Los Angeles on December 25, 1969.
Transparent watercolors were his favorite medium, and while he often went out on location to sketch, he preferred to paint his final works in the studio. He also conducted private classes in watercolor painting for many years.

1932 French Riviera Oil on Canvas Landscape by Gregoor Van Puyenbroeck
Located in Dallas, TX
Set in its original silvered leaf frame, this vibrant oil on canvas captures the sunlit charm of the island of Porquerolles on the French Riviera, painted in 1932. The scene depicts a Provençal village with terracotta rooftops, a church steeple rising over the clustered houses, and vineyard rows in the foreground, all set against a backdrop of deep blue waters and distant mountains under a luminous, cloud-filled sky. The artist’s rich brushwork and warm palette convey both atmosphere and place, creating a work full of depth and natural harmony. Signed in the lower right corner by Gregoor Van Puyenbroeck and dated on the verso, the painting remains in very good condition commensurate with age and use, with fresh, lively colors and appealing surface texture.
Gregoor Van Puyenbroeck (Belgium, 1906–1982) was part of a family of artists, the brother of painter Jan Van Puyenbroeck. He studied at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts and the Institut des Beaux-Arts in Antwerp, where he was a pupil of Walter Vaes...
