Description from the seller
THE WORK AND THE ARTIST: Hippolyte MADELAINE (1871-1966) - Large original watercolor with gouache highlights - View of Brignais (Rhône)
Beautiful and large original watercolor with gouache highlights, kept under its original glass. This luminous and spring-like work presents a bucolic view of the fortified village of Brignais, located in the Rhône department. It is signed by the artist in Bordeaux-colored ink at the bottom right.
The author, Hippolyte MADELAINE (1871-1966), is a renowned history painter, landscape painter, and watercolorist of the Rouen School. A member of the French Artists, he produced between 2,300 and 2,500 works during his long life, traveling extensively across France to capture its most beautiful landscapes.
FASCINATING HISTORY AND PROVENANCE:
This work has remained completely fresh, unpublished, and preserved from the art market. Its verso bears precious handwritten period notes in pencil: “Guny le jardin,” “à Père de Claude,” as well as the geographic inscription “Brignais.”
This painting was personally saved from debris beside trash at the foot of a housing estate in Le Blanc-Mesnil (93150). Its patrimonial value and historical authenticity have been officially validated from photos by the prestigious Paris auction house MILLON, with a confidence estimate of €600–€800 for their prestige sales.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS & CONDITION:
• Overall dimensions (with frame): 73 cm x 61.5 cm.
• Weight of the artwork: Between 3 and 4 kg.
• Watercolor condition: Very good overall; colors have retained their freshness.
• Frame condition: Magnificent antique carved and gilded wooden frame, deliberately left as-is with its old and authentic patina.
LOGISTICS AND SHIPPING SECURITY:
• In-person pickup: The item can be collected free of charge in person at my home in Le Blanc-Mesnil (Greater Paris area). The buyer can leave with the artwork immediately.
• In case of shipment: highly secure shipping. The painting will be protected by a double armor of large 85 cm bubble bags, cushioned with foam corner protectors, and tightly fitted into a large professional shipping carton (cardboard box No. 6) to prevent any movement and ensure perfect protection of the glass during transport.
