Beautiful work by the Avignon painter Louis Agricol Montagné which represents a view of the climb to the old village of Les Angles animated by two characters.
Artist who is used to depicting scenes in Provence using the watercolor technique, Louis Montagné offers us here an animated scene in his village of Les Angles.

Pupil of Paul Saïn and Cormon, he appeared at the Salon of French Artists from 1901, from which he obtained numerous awards during his participation. He exhibited very early in Avignon at the merchants Kassler and Mouret and during this period produced decorative panels in collaboration with the painter Paul Saïn. Wounded during the First World War, he lost an eye.
This will not prevent him from leading a brilliant career.
