Early 1900's Vintage Landscape Painting of Provence Village in Oil on Panel. Signed by the French Artist Marcel Combot.

Marcel Combot (1913-2005) was a distinguished painter from Southern France who created works primarily in the mid-20th century. Combot is a listed artist featured in the Benezit Dictionnaire des Peintres, Sculpteurs, Dessinateurs, et Graveurs and has been the subject of several auctions over the years. His life in Southern France profoundly influenced his work, as seen in his depictions of classic village scenes, portraiture, still lives and everyday living. The exquisite palette, moody hues and abstracted roofs are classic trademarks of Provencal art. The bottom right of the painting displays the artists signature, but unfortunately due to position, is located under lip of frame. This piece has been appraised to be created in the mid 1940's

This particular piece exemplifies Combot’s ability to capture the essence of Southern French life with remarkable authenticity and charm. On the back of the artwork, a label provides the title and the artist's residence, adding an extra layer of provenance and historical context to this exquisite example of Combot’s oeuvre.

Provence has a long-standing tradition of fostering artistic talent. The city is the birthplace of the famous post-impressionist painter, Paul Cézanne, who is often regarded as the father of modern art. His influence is palpable throughout the city, with numerous sites dedicated to his life and work. One cannot talk about Provencal art without mentioning Cézanne, whose unique approach to color and form has inspired countless artists.
