About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
Step into the tranquil majesty of the French Alps with this exquisite vintage oil painting. Executed in a rich post-impressionist style, the artwork captures a serene mountain scene in detail.
The Subject:
The painting depicts a charming stone chateau nestled on the verdant banks of a turquoise-blue mountain lake. Behind it, a dramatic range of jagged, snow-dusted peaks, identified by the signature as the Aiguille du Midi group near Chamonix, fills the horizon. The composition balances the rustic solidity of the chateau with the ethereal beauty of the peaks and the shimmering water.
The Artist and Date:
The painting is clearly signed and dated "E. COOLS 1960" in the lower-right corner. E. Cools was a skilled Belgian artist known for his evocative landscape and mountain scenes. This specific work, dated 1960, is a prime example of his mature period, showing masterful brushwork and color harmony.
The Frame:
This painting is presented in a truly magnificent, professional gilded plaster frame. The frame is intricately detailed with scrolling acanthus leaves, floral motifs, and a warm, burnished gold finish that has developed a subtle aged patina. It is not just a frame; it is a piece of craftsmanship that elevates the entire work, making it a powerful statement piece.
Condition:
Both the painting and the ornate frame are in good vintage condition. The artwork is clean, vibrant, and well-preserved. The frame is intact and solid, with only the minor imperfections that lend authentic character to vintage gilded pieces. The back of the framed artwork includes a professional wire hanging system and aged brass hooks, revealing a new, clearly visible 'S4' inscription, and is ready for immediate display.
Dimensions (Framed):
Width: 78 cm (30.7 inches)
Height: 70 cm (27.6 inches)
This is a museum-quality piece ready to bring a touch of classic European elegance and mountain tranquility to any home or office. Don't miss the opportunity to own a verified work of art by E. Cools in such a spectacular presentation.
