Description from the seller
Giclée on card on Maurice Legendre board, including a period frame with glass contemporaneous to the era. The work depicts a typical Maurice Legendre theme, a Parisian street scene featuring Notre Dame Cathedral.
The piece with the frame measures 55 cm in width and 40 cm in height. The artwork alone on card measures 35 cm in width and 25 cm in height.
Provenance: private collection of our family.
Born in 1928, Legendre embarked on a high-level artistic path studying under renowned masters. He was a pupil of Robert Couturier and subsequently deepened his sculpture studies with Marcel Grimond. Throughout his career he received important institutional recognitions, including the prestigious Blumenthal Prize for Art in 1954 and the Brantôme Prize for sculpture in 1965.
Maurice Legendre’s works are still highly sought after by collectors and regularly appear in international auctions, mainly between the United States and Europe.
Oil and acrylic paintings (Urban Landscapes): Original works on canvas, depicting flower markets, cafés, or historic views of Paris and the French Riviera, typically fetch prices oscillating between €700 and €1,300 depending on size and subject complexity. Parisian scenes rendered on paper have a commercial value that generally varies between €200 and €500.
The frame is offered gratis as a courtesy. Any damage to the frame during shipping/transport will not be valid grounds for canceling the order.
