Signed Gere, an artist we have not yet been able to identify, the painting is a charming example of early 19th-century French landscape painting. Presented in a wonderful antique gilt frame with elaborate floral corner decorations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting dates from an interesting period in French art, when Romanticism was beginning to transform landscape painting. During the 1820s, artists increasingly turned their attention to the picturesque countryside, finding beauty in ancient villages, rustic architecture and the everyday lives of rural communities. Rather than depicting an idealised classical landscape, this painting celebrates the character of an ordinary French village, with its uneven roads, humble buildings and quiet human activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood antique condition with age-related surface character consistent with its period.\u003cbr\u003eThe antique gilt frame retains a beautiful historic patina, with expected rubbing, marks and small areas of wear to the gilded decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrench School\u003cbr\u003eDated 1828\u003cbr\u003eOil painting\u003cbr\u003eFrench village landscape\u003cbr\u003eSigned Gere\u003cbr\u003eArtist currently unidentified\u003cbr\u003eOrnate antique gilt frame\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing incl Frame:\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 17.52 inch (44.5cm)\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 20.47 inch (52cm)\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 3.15 inch (8cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing Painting:\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 12.80 inch (32.5cm)\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 15.94 inch (40.5cm)\u003cbr\u003eFREE International Shipping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsurance:\u003cbr\u003eAll products are shipped in good boxes and very well packaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll products are shipped fully insured for international shipping.
