Panel oil measuring 12.5 cm x 21.5 cm, Size with the quality frame: 30 cm x 42 cm. Painting signed MONTICELLI in the bottom left-hand corner. Adolphe MONTICELLI was the greatest Provençal painter of the late 19th century. Great prophetic painter of expressionism. An exhibition in Marseille did put the spotlight VAN GOGH and MONTICELLI by drawing a parallel between their work. He was a good friend of Cézanne. Van GOGH studied the technique with passion to the point he wrote to his brother: I owe everything to MonticellI who taught me the chromaticism of colours. The painting I am offering here is very colourful. The Aubagne auction house, run by Mr GERMAIN in 1988, placed this painting on the front page of the catalogue. This painting comes with a certificate of authenticity issued Monticelli's international expert: Mr Marc STAMMEGNA.
