Jules Zingg (1882-1942) “lively Village Under The Snow” Murols School, Doubs, Auvergne, Charreton

Very beautiful oil/canvas by Jules Emile Zingg representing a lively village under the snow, signed lower right. Format of the painting only hirs frame 46x55cm. It is therefore a superb post-impressionist composition with a Fauvist tendency by Jules Zingg who paints here one of his favorite subjects, an animated scene under the snow, probably in the Doubs or in Auvergne. As usual, the painter uses his characteristic touch, in large flat areas, very stylized, because like the Fauves, he simplifies his motif as much as possible; as for his palette, it is also very typical to his snowy landscapes using only whites, pinks, ice blue and petrol blue, yellow and browns. Zingg very often liked to animate his compositions with one or more characters, since he most of the time created rural scenes, here he paints a lumberjack returning to the village. Finally Zingg mainly painted 4 regions, that of his childhood with Doubs and the surroundings of Montbéliard, Auvergne and mainly Murols of which he was part of the school alongside Charreton, Boudal and Pérouse, Véxin where he lived and finally Brittany, especially the surroundings of Ploumanac'h and Perros Guirec where it rubs shoulders with the Denis, Sérusier or Sabbagh.
