French school from the end of the 19th century, large oil on canvas presenting a mountain landscape with a torrent, in the background a mountain peak.
The painter masters his effects well and wanted to accentuate an effect of relief and three-dimensional view by treating the rocks and vegetation in the foreground differently by applying the paint in relief as Ravier did when the background of the painting is treated in a more smooth to create a contrast effect and simulate depth. The painting is presented in a beautiful channel frame gilded with gold leaf. Signature of Godchaux, circa 1890-1900.
Eugène Godchaux known as Emile Godchaux (1878-1956), son of the painter Alfred Godchaux. The two artists favor similar subjects.
In addition to its fresh and cheerful colors, our painting is characterized by its large format and its strong decorative effect.
It is in excellent condition: painting (formerly re-canvased) that we had cleaned as well as the frame gilded with gold leaf. No accidents.
