River Channel

Antique French oil painting: This tableau is from Pierre Waidmann (1860 -1937), French painter and landscaper. He moved to Paris at the end of the 1870s, and his first mentors were Ferdinand Humbert (1842-1934) and Louis Français (1814-1897). In 1890, he was living in Paris, at 66 "rue de Lisbonne", in the 8e Arrondissement. He stayed regularly in Remiremont in the "Vosges", where his grandfather lived and he painted many landscapes of these surroundings. Pierre was part of this transitional period from the romantic movement to the naturalist.

The nuances of this canvas are finely elaborated, thanks to the perspectives of the material and the visible brush strokes. The bucolic effect is impactful to the eye.
