Gabriel Roby : “street In The Basque Country”

Gabriel ROBY (1878-1917): “Street in Pays Basque”, oil on cardboard 39.5 x 30 cm mounted by a golden Marie-Louise in a beautiful mahogany frame 54 x 44 cm. As I said about Charles Ogier whose works we regularly present, one of the greatest challenges, but also one of the greatest satisfactions of our profession as art dealers is to rediscover a forgotten painter but whose talent is indisputable and to putting it back in the spotlight for the greatest joy of fans. This delightful painting that we are offering you is the work of the wonderful Basque painter who was a student of Bonnat and died too young at the front. Close to the spirit of his Nabis contemporaries like Maurice Denis or even more Felix Valloton, this narrow street with its typical facades makes us all the more regret that he was unable to continue his work...
