Le Village

Antique oil painting: A large scale and dynamic oil painting on hard carton, produced in 1943 and signed Jean Lasnier.

This unique painting is part of the large collection coming from Lasnier's Parisian atelier.

The village in this painting takes us to a town in the south of France, struck by the midday sun. There is heat emanating from the artist's color choice, layered with vivid energy and magical reliefs of natural matter, beloved by Lasnier. The houses seem overwhelmed by a powerful light and a fascinating swirl of peacock blue and copper gradients. The lines are masterful and perfectly contain this abundance of nuances and natural materials.
