Paul Emile Lecomte (1877-1950) "landscape" Great French Painter And Watercolourist, Brittany, Ye

Beautiful original watercolor by Paul Emile Lecomte representing a landscape signed lower right. Frame size included 22x27cm. Superb watercolor by Paul Emile Lecomte who here creates a landscape with a bridge or tunnel and a path lined with trees. Great technical mastery, but logical because Lecomte is one of the greatest post-Impressionist French watercolor painters of the 1890/1950 period, in the same way as Rivière, Bertram, Guérin etc... He will also produce very beautiful oils and his subjects favorite will be Brittany and the Basque Country, but he will paint throughout France. Paul Émile Lecomte, pseudonym of Paul Lecomte, born October 29, 1877 in Paris where he died September 19, 1950, is a French painter.
