Product description
Oil on cardboard “View of the Coast at Villefranche,” René Charles Edmond His, 1903 – France This captivating work by René His transports you to the coast of Villefranche, an idyllic corner of southern France, where nature is revealed in all its splendor. The painting presents a stunning panoramic view from a height, probably a sandy cliff, which opens onto the vast immensity of the sea on the left, while, to the right, the beach extends into a landscape of weeds in shades of green and ochre, where the transition between sand and vegetation reveals the stillness of a place far removed from human intervention. The perspective is sublime: the cliff that dominates the scene in the foreground rises in the right corner, marking the lower level of the composition. From there, the gaze gently recedes, losing detail in the distance and giving way to a series of boats faintly outlined on the sea, while the horizon marks the subtle line between water and land. This encounter between these two natural elements is treated with a delicacy that only a master like René His could achieve, revealing his special ability to capture the interaction of light on the surfaces of the water and the surrounding landscape. The signature "René-His 1903" in the lower left corner attests to the authenticity of this piece, which, like many of his works, displays the technical perfection that characterizes this French painter's work. His detailed style, notable for its meticulous depiction of nature, turns each element into a work of art in itself. René His, born in 1877 in Colombes, is known for his dedication to accurately capturing natural landscapes, especially those related to water, such as rivers and coastlines. The influence of Henri Biva, his teacher and mentor, is clearly evident in his treatment of light, a defining aspect of this painting that earned him recognition in both France and the United Kingdom. This work is a reflection of the serenity and depth of René His's work, whose talent for observing nature and his mastery of technique have established him as one of the most outstanding landscape artists of his time. The painting is not only a testament to his artistic skill, but also a portal to a natural world where calm and beauty are found in every stroke.
