Oil on canvas. Signed lower right.  76.2 x 96.5 cm and with frame: 90 x 115 cm

This is a view of the port of Venice when the sun is at its highest. The sky is clear. Buildings are visible on the horizon and in the foreground richly dressed people are boarding a gondola, probably to catch the boat. The bright intensity of the colours and the architectural rigour of the scene are typical of this painter as is his free interpretation of reality

Galerie Delvaille. Stand N°5. BRAFA'12 . Du 21 au 29 janvier 2012, à Tour & Taxis.

Fondée en 1858 à Madrid, la galerie Delvaille est installée rue de Beaune à Paris depuis 1955.  Elle est dirigée par Olivier Delvaille. Il succède à sa mère Madame Delvaille, dont l’expérience est aujourd’hui encore précieuse. La galerie est spécialisée dans la peinture des écoles françaises, du milieu du XIXe siècle jusqu’au post-impressionnisme, ainsi que dans le beau mobilier du XVIIIe siècle français. La rigueur avec laquelle elle sélectionne ses tableaux comme ses meubles, lui permet d’entretenir avec ses clients une relation de confiance et d’amitié.
