Description

A beautiful summer landscape by Roger-Antoine Serpanié , a artist from Rouergue, a former province of France which corresponds roughly with the modern department of Aveyron. Roger (1891-1971) who was the son of the painter Marie-Casimir Serpantié, loved the region where he was raised and he became famous for depicting it.

Serpantié showed his work at the Galerie RG in Paris; paintings by the artist are in the National Centre of Plastic Arts in the French capital and in the Denis Puech Museum in Rodez.

Here, we see the ancient Entraygues bridge over the Truyère: its construction was authorised in 1269 by the Archbishop of Bourges, Jean de Sully. Put into service in 1340, it was cut in 1388, repaired in 1524 and restored in 1680.

Signed at the lower right, our oil on canvas measures 38 x 55 cm. The overall framed size in a hand carved with leaf gold is 55 x 72 cm

Skippings Fine Arts has dated this French Impressionist Landscape Painting to the 1940s.

FAQs

French impressionist landscape painting typically focuses on capturing natural light, atmospheric conditions, and everyday scenes with visible brushstrokes and a vibrant colour palette.

These works were traditionally executed using oil paints applied to stretched canvas, frequently housed within hand-carved or molded wooden frames finished in gilt or gesso.

Authenticity is assessed by examining canvas ageing, stretcher frame construction, pigment composition, artist signatures, and the presence of historical framing techniques.

Such pieces add character when hung as focal points against neutral walls, contrasted with modern minimalist furniture, or integrated into a gallery wall arrangement.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity and temperature, keeping canvases out of direct sunlight, and dusting gently with a soft, dry brush without using chemical cleaners.
