Oil painting by Noël Barbry (XX), Reflets au canal, dating from the 1950s, a landscape in France, original edition, signed, framed, 68 × 94 cm.
Description from the seller
A luminous and serene landscape that depicts a rural scene organized around a path flanked by a stone wall and tall cypress trees, beside a sheet of water that reflects the surrounding architecture and vegetation. The composition unfolds in depth through a well-structured perspective, guiding the eye toward a Mediterranean-style architectural ensemble, with buildings featuring reddish roofs and a tower that serves as the focal point.
The work stands out for its vibrant handling of color and a loose, dynamic brushstroke, especially evident in the vegetation and in the reflections on the water, where the artist shows a notable command of light and movement. The palette, dominated by blues, greens, and warm ochers, reinforces the tranquil atmosphere of the landscape and places the work within the tradition of European landscape painting of the 20th century, with clear Post-Impressionist resonances.
