Jean Marc Labeyrie (1916-2005) - Lago d'Iseo

Evocative and luminous oil painting on canvas, created in 1937 by French artist Jean-Marc Labeyrie. The work transports viewers to the peaceful shores of Lake Iseo in northern Italy, capturing the beauty of its lakeside villages reflected in turquoise waters and the elegance of Mediterranean cypress trees beneath warm, enveloping light. The artist’s masterful composition and post-Impressionist sensibility stand out in his treatment of the atmosphere and natural landscape.

The painting is signed, dated, and located by the artist in the lower right corner (“J. Labeyrie / Iseo, 1937”). The reverse retains the original wooden stretcher, bearing stamps from a Bordeaux fine-art supplies dealer, attesting to its provenance and historical authenticity. It is presented in a period wooden frame with a crackled patina and aged gilding that enhance its presence.

Its dimensions are 58 x 46 cm framed and 46 x 33 cm unframed.

As for its condition, the work is in good overall condition considering its nearly ninety years of age. It has a natural patina of yellowing in the varnish due to the passage of time, as well as a small, almost imperceptible tear, as shown transparently in the images. A wonderful opportunity to acquire a European interwar landscape, ready to hang.
