Yves BRAYER (1907–1990) – “Paysage de Provence”, 1952 Oil on canvas signed lower left – 54 x 65 cm Certificate of authenticity signed by Mrs. Yves Brayer, dated February 19, 1990. Superb composition by Yves Brayer, a major figure in 20th-century French painting, entitled “Paysage de Provence”. Created in 1952, this canvas offers a powerful and stylized vision of Provençal landscapes, both authentic and poetic. It captures all the power of mineral Provence, with its steep reliefs and its massifs of limestone rock bleached by the sun. In the foreground, slender trees stand in an ochre earth with vibrant shades, structuring the composition with elegance and dynamism. The palette, typical of Brayer, combines marked contrasts and powerful flat tints to magnify the luminous intensity of the South. The work is titled, dated and annotated on the back by the artist's hand, and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by Mrs. Brayer on February 19, 1990. Presented in a quality contemporary frame, this canvas is a fine example of the painter's artistic maturity. Dimensions: Canvas: 54 x 65 cm Frame: approximately 70 x 82 cm Provenance: – Private collection – Certificate of authenticity signed by Mrs. Yves Brayer, dated February 19, 1990
