Description from the seller
RIGAUD Jean (1912-1999)
" The mill at Noirmoutier "
Oil on canvas,
Signed bottom left,
Titled, counter-signed and dated on the back by the artist: "Noirmoutier, Jean Rigaud 65",
Cartouche with the artist's name on the frame,
Beautiful work by the French painter Jean Rigaud which depicts a view of a mill on the island of Noirmoutier in the Gulf of Morbihan in Vendée. It is very likely the Moulin de la Bosse built in 1880, surrounded by maritime pines.
The artist has managed to perfectly convey the play of light and the colors typical of the region with a sky in blues and grays.
Son of the painter Pierre Gaston Rigaud, Jean Rigaud studied at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris. He would give painting lessons in his Paris studio and teach drawing in Paris.
In 1937, he painted a fresco "Lot et Garonne - Gers" with his father for the Pavilion of Guyenne and Gascony at the 1937 Universal Exposition and received the gold medal.
Prisoner of war in 1940, he produced during this period numerous sensitive drawings. At the end of the war, he participated with Rose Valland in the artistic recovery commission.
Lover of travel and the sea, Jean Rigaud was appointed Navy painter in 1956 and then full member in 1979. He devoted his work to landscapes and still lifes. His preferred subject remained the landscapes of the Île d'Yeu and Noirmoutier, which he painted as early as 1950. He exhibited annually in most major Paris salons and at the Salon "Comparaisons" in the group of Maurice Boitel.
He participated in the 210th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of the United States in 1986, invited aboard the helicopter carrier Jeanne d'Arc, then to the Armada of Rouen in 1989. Jean Rigaud frequently traveled to Venice to paint the lagoon. He exhibited in numerous galleries: Paul Durand-Ruel, Galerie Carré... and was favored in the United States.
In 1999, a major retrospective of his work was organized at the Musée national de la Marine.
Dimensions: 35.5 x 27 cm without frame and 55.5 x 46.5 cm with its original beautiful gold wood frame.
