Early Spring In Monet Country, The Road To Pourville, Normandy 1928 Rene Levrel Large Oil On Canvas
£1,200 $1,606 €1,405
Few places are more closely associated with French Impressionism than Pourville-sur-Mer, whose changing skies and luminous coastline inspired Claude Monet on many occasions. Rather than depicting the famous beach itself, René Levrel (1900-1981) turns his attention to the countryside beyond: a winding road, a solitary figure, bare trees and scattered cottages combine to create a scene of remarkable tranquillity.
The painting''s real strength lies in its remarkable sense of recession into space. The eye begins with the woman in blue, follows the winding road past the horse and cart, and only then drifts into the misty trees and luminous sky beyond. It is a beautifully judged composition, leading the viewer effortlessly through the landscape while capturing the cool, silvery light so characteristic of Normandy.
Signed and dated 1928, the painting belongs to the freshest and most creative period of Levrel''s career. Painted with a light, confident touch, it retains all the immediacy ...of a work executed directly from nature, the artist concentrating on atmosphere and light rather than meticulous finish.
René Levrel studied at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris and exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants and the Salon des Tuileries from the 1920s onwards. In 1928, the year this painting was executed, he was awarded the prestigious Prix Abd-el-Tif, marking the beginning of a distinguished career. He later exhibited at leading Parisian galleries including Galerie Marcel Bernheim, Galerie Charpentier and Galerie Katia Granoff, while major retrospective exhibitions were devoted to his work during his lifetime and posthumously at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nantes and the Château du Puy-du-Fou.
The reverse retains an old exhibition label and a historical label bearing a price of 12,000 francs. The work is presented in an exceptional frame by master framers Goude, Île Saint-Louis, Paris. Signed and dated at the lower left and measuring 60 × 73 cm for the canvas, the overall framed size is 91 x 78 cm.
