AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Dreamily beautiful painting of Parisian city life by V. Rooy (signed), oil on canvas, 1970s.
The artist: V. Rooy (J. van Rooy)
The artist is well known in the art trade, particularly at auctions for 20th-century decorative art.
Identity: It is most likely the Dutch painter J. van Rooy (often simply signing as V. Rooy). He is frequently listed as a contemporary Dutch artist, who was particularly active in the 1970s and 80s.
Specialization: Van Rooy is almost exclusively known for his Parisian street scenes. He painted countless variations of Parisian boulevards, flower markets, and landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower or Sacré-Cœur.
Market: V. Rooy paints for the upscale interior design market. His images should depict the flair of Paris.
The motif: Parisian life
The picture shows a classic, almost nostalgic view of Paris.
Location: The white dome in the background is unmistakably the Basilica Sacré-Cœur on Montmartre. This indicates that the scene takes place in the streets below the artist's quarter.
Scene: On the right, you see the typical Parisian flower stalls with colorful awnings. The street is lively with strolling figures, often only faintly suggested.
• Mood: There is an 'autumnal' or misty mood. The sky is gray-white, which is typical for Parisian cityscapes in art (the famous 'Paris gray').
Style and Technique
• Impasto technique: Here too, the paint was applied extremely thickly with a spatula. If you look at the house facades on the left or the tree canopies on the right, you can see the 'block-like' layers of paint. This gives the image a rough, tactile texture.
• Style: This is a commercial Impressionism. The artist is inspired by the great models of the 'Paris School' (such as Edouard Cortès or Antoine Blanchard), but translates their style into a coarser, more expressive palette knife technique that was modern in the 1970s.
• Color palette: V. Rooy skillfully uses earthy tones (brown, ochre, beige) as a base and adds targeted color accents with flowers and awnings (red/orange) to direct the eye.

Seller's Story
Since we can remember we felt attracted to beauty and exceptional things. Aesthetic has always been more than something superficial for us. It was something magic going much deeper than the surface, creating positive feelings and energies.
Harmonies, sacred proportions, colors and materials combined with time, create their very special energies and are mostly things that hardly can be described but always can be felt.
To define beauty would be far to philosophical, but we think, if something touches you by the way it looks and gives you good energy at the same time, then it would define our personal definition of beauty.
And if beauty is something that has no other purpose than making you feel good just by the way it looks, then beauty is something we surely do not want to miss in our lives.
We thank existence for giving us all those unique materials and designs and all the talented designers and craftsmen for bringing their visions and abilities to life and sharing it, to bring us purpose combined with joy.
We are glad to have the platform Catawiki where we can share our passion for extraordinary and beautiful things with like-minded people.
