"Adolphe Faugeron : "the Villette In Chambery 1912""
Adolphe Faugeron (1866-1944) "La Villette à Chambéry 1912", oil on panel 19 X 27 cm, annotated and dated 1916 on the back, mounted in a pretty old gilt frame 22 X 30 cm (small accidents). I first got to know this artist by buying a small painting representing the sea in Guéthary in the Basque Country and since then I have acquired a lot! Although he is very well known for his "large machines", more or less allegorical large-format paintings at the Salon, we know less that he was a Master of landscape, a genre he practiced from nature during his resorts on small formats, often on cardboard or panel or for slightly larger formats, on canvas. Do not hesitate to ask us for photos or additional information by email or telephone. In partnership with Galerie Lafouresse, we specialize in paintings on the Basque Country, the Landes and the Bassin d'Arcachon.
