Beautiful work by the Avignon painter Louis Agricol Montagné which represents a view of Les Baux de Provence. We can completely distinguish the bell tower of the church on the right.
Louis Montagné offers us here a colorful and sunny view of Les Baux de Provence with the ruins of his castle and a view of the valley.
Pupil of Paul Saïn and Cormon, he appeared at the Salon of French Artists from 1901, from which he obtained numerous awards during his participation. He exhibited very early in Avignon at the merchants Kassler and Mouret and during this period produced decorative panels in collaboration with the painter Paul Saïn.
Wounded during the First World War, he lost an eye. This will not prevent him from leading a brilliant career.
He was appointed director of the School of Fine Arts in Avignon from 1920 to 1928. Louis Agricol Montagné is part of the Group of 13.
Dimensions: 65 x 81 cm without frame and 87 x 104 cm with its original wooden frame Golden.
