Reflets au canal, an oil painting from 1950–1960 by Noël Barbry (France), original edition, signed, framed.
Description from the seller
Luminous and serene landscape that depicts a rural scene organized around a road flanked by a stone wall and tall cypress trees, beside a sheet of water that mirrors the surrounding architecture and vegetation. The composition unfolds in depth through a well-structured perspective, guiding the eye toward a Mediterranean-flavored architectural ensemble, with buildings featuring reddish roofs and a tower serving as the focal point.
The work stands out for its vibrant color treatment and a loose, dynamic brushwork, especially visible in the vegetation and in the reflections on the water, where the artist demonstrates notable mastery of light and movement. The palette, dominated by blues, greens, and warm ochres, 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.
Work by Noël Barbry (20th century). Signed and dated in the lower corner. Dimensions: 68 x 94 cm (framed). Framed.
