Oil on canvas: large building in Brittany by Pierre Peress

Beautiful and significant oil on canvas by the French painter Pierre Peress (1919-1990), depicting a charming stone house surrounded by a flower garden, set in a landscape reminiscent of Brittany. This work captivates with the richness of its texture, the vibrancy of its brushwork, and the quality of its light. The impasto, the nuances of the granite stones and slates, as well as the treatment of the vegetation, testify to an expressive and highly accomplished painting. The painting is signed at the bottom right and presented in its elegant gilded wooden frame. Provenance: the work was acquired directly from the estate of close friends of Pierre Peress, who kept several of the artist's paintings in their personal collection. Dimensions: * Canvas: 80 × 60 cm. * With frame: 92 × 76 × 4 cm. Condition: Very good state of preservation. The canvas is sound, colours are fresh, and the frame shows a beautiful period patina with some slight signs of wear consistent with its age. Pierre Peress, a French painter known for his landscapes, views of Paris, bouquets, and scenes of everyday life, develops a painting style with a free and colourful touch, influenced by Fauvism and Expressionism. His works are included in numerous private collections and are regularly presented on the art market. A work of character, decorative and luminous, ideal for a classic or contemporary interior.
