Oil painting by Jean-Claude Barthel, Palazzo Vecchio - XL, original edition, 2026, 80 × 60 cm, signed by hand, in excellent condition, depicting famous sites.
Description from the seller
Oil on canvas, professional keyed stretcher, 80 x 60, unframed.
Jean-Claude Barthel is a self-taught French abstract artist known for his vibrant and elemental paintings inspired by the forces of nature: water, air, earth and fire. A draftsman by training, he devoted himself entirely to painting in the late 1970s after settling in Auvergne. Barthel's works, often in oil or acrylic, feature rich textures, layered glazes, and bold gestures that convey energy and emotion. His art seeks to evoke sensations – light, movement, warmth – through color and composition. Widely exhibited in France and Europe, notably in Paris, Vichy and Vienna, his paintings are held in private collections and presented by several galleries such as ETRU and SIMPARGA. Barthel's work offers a sensory journey to the heart of nature.

Light, impressions on canvases with material effects from the brush fully express his artistic personality. He loves water, air, earth, fire. He builds a world where he escapes, the moment of a canvas. At the end of the path, the meeting of the creator and the spectator in a shared desire, the same quest.
