Description from the seller
M. CHAPPET (XXe) - The Gotty Chapel in La Clusaz (Haute-Savoie) - Oil on panel
(Format 8F)
Description of the work :
Luminous and lively original oil painting depicting a typical mountain landscape of Haute-Savoie. The composition features the famous Chapelle du Gotty (built in 1691), located in the eponymous hamlet at La Clusaz, along the Étale road.
The traditional chapel steeple rises in the foreground, bordering a winding dirt path that guides the eye toward the background. There, alpine chalets (mazots) are scattered on verdant meadows, all dominated by the steep and majestic reliefs of the Aravis Range under a textured azure sky.
The work is distinguished by its generous post-impressionist brushwork, executed with rich impasto with a knife or thick brush, perfectly capturing the bright light and the authentic atmosphere of the Alps.
The verso of the panel bears period handwritten annotations confirming the subject:
"Chapelle du Gotty, La Clusaz, Hte-Savoie", as well as the mark of the standard format of the time (8F).
• Artist : M. CHAPPET (Landscape painter of the 20th century, signed at the bottom right)
• Medium : Oil on wood panel (Isorel, an era wooden composite board)
• Dimensions : 46 × 38 cm (Standard format 8F)
• Condition : Good overall condition, painting layer sound with nice reliefs. Slight signs of wear along the edge (not serious, ideally framed).
• Provenance : French private collection.
Careful shipping and tracking.
