Very Large 1930’s French Impressionist Signed Oil – Avenue of Green Wispy Trees

Avenue of Trees French School, circa 1930’s indistinctly signed and dated oil painting on canvas, laid over board painting size: 28 x 39 inches condition: overall very good, some slight wear to the corners and edges where the canvas has rubbed or come over the edge of the board. All this should be fine once framed. provenance: from a very respectful collection of art, Cotswolds, England; previously in a private collection on the Cote d’Azur, France. A very beautiful and original French Impressionist oil painting on canvas. The painting depicts this incredible range of green colors – green with green, green with yellows, green with brown, it really is every shade of green there is! Peeping through the trees at the far end are little red roof tops of village houses, suggesting the location is Provence. The painting had previously been in a private collection on the French Riviera. The brushwork is right up there with the top masters of Impressionism and the surface has a wonderfully thick layer of impasto oil paint, lavishly applied to the canvas creating a texture that makes one want to run ones hands over the paint. The dappled light dances between the trees and plays on the deep grass to the copse floor and in every sense, the painting displays tremendous tranquility and calm.
