Autumn Reflections

Oil on canvas – 72 × 50 cm. Artist: Madeleine Defranchi. In this work entitled Reflections of Autumn, Madeleine Defranchi delicately captures the tranquil beauty of a body of water bordered by golden foliage. The eye is naturally drawn to the vibrant reflections of the trees in the water, treated with a highly sensitive interplay of material and light. The composition blends atmospheric depth, an autumnal palette, and diffuse softness to evoke a peaceful and contemplative nature. The artist's free and expressive brushwork brings the foliage in the foreground to life while the wooded horizon gently fades into bluish tones. About the artist. Madeleine Defranchi has been painting since childhood. After years of exploring drawing, pastels, and then acrylics, she had a decisive encounter with Stéphane Beyu, a painter trained at the Moscow School of Fine Arts. For more than ten years, his teaching has deeply nourished her practice. Today, Madeleine works exclusively in oil, driven by a sensitivity focused on nature and emotion. Each canvas is an invitation for her to share her unique view of the world. Technical details. Technique: Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 72 × 50 cm. Signature: Signed lower right "M. Defranchi".
