"Eugène Villon (1879-1951) Watercolor "view Of Douarnenez" Brittany "
Large and beautiful watercolor by Eugène Villon representing the outer port of Douarnenez, signed and dated lower left. Dimensions 61x47cm at sight, and 85x71cm with its frame. Note that the glass in the photo has been replaced by anti-UV/anti-reflective glass. A virtuoso artist, highly honored during his lifetime (gold medal at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1934), he excelled in all pictorial techniques, but was above all a master of watercolor. Brittany and Finistère in particular were a great source of inspiration for him, as our painting shows.
