Gustav Vidal was a well-respected twentieth century French artist. Born in Avignon and trained at the École des Beaux-Arts there, he developed a style that continued the regional tradition of light, colour and landscape that followed Impressionism. He was a member of the Salon des Artistes Français in Paris and exhibited internationally. His works typically show rich colour and balanced composition, with evocative French light and are popular with collectors today.

This stunning original oil on hardwood panel by Gustave Vidal depicts a summer’s day on the Cote d’Azur. Two young men are fishing from a large flat rock. One is standing, looking out to sea, wearing a shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a dark waistcoat. His companion is seated on the rock with his long fishing rod dangling in the blue waters of the sea. He is wearing a white vest top and wide brimmed straw hat. Along the bay we glimpse the warm stone-coloured buildings of a small town scattered along the shoreline, with majestic hills rising behind. The sea sparkles with a multitude of blues, catching the sunlight and reflecting the blue sky above. This is a delightfully positive and engaging piece, of happy times spent in casual pleasures.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Twentieth-century French coastal paintings often capture regional Mediterranean landscapes using expressive impasto brushwork, vivid natural lighting, and Post-Impressionist stylistic influences.

Artists from the 1930s typically painted using oil pigments applied to stretched linen canvas or wooden panels, presented in carved timber frames finished with gesso and gold leaf.

Authentic period works display organic age-related cracking known as craquelure, period-appropriate timber or canvas construction, original artist signatures, and correct structural wear on the reverse.

Gilt-framed traditional paintings are frequently paired with minimalist modern furniture or positioned against dark wall panelling to create visual contrast between classic and contemporary elements.

Keep the artwork away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity. Clean the surface gently using a soft dry brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
