Lunch In The Mountains By Marcel Cosson 1878-1956

Exceptional large oil painting on mattress canvas 145cm high by 204cm long with baguette signed lower right COSSON Jean Louis Marcel COSSON born in 1878 in Bordeaux was a genre painter, compositions with figures, interiors, flowers, Post-Impressionist He exhibited first at the Salon des Artistes Français in Paris, of which he became a member, honorable mention in 1901, third medal in 1911, then at the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux Arts and that of the Tuileries. He often treated subjects of opera, ballets, circus. He was a painter of women, of Parisian life, of the world of dance, of theater. He died in 1956 in Paris The painting that I present to you is quite atypical of the artist, I think it is a special commission. It represents a lunch on the grass in a landscape I think Alpine. There are a few small gaps on the left side of the painting and it would deserve a cleaning (it is, as they say, in its own juice). It must be one of the largest paintings that the artist was able to create. Beautiful collector's item, very decorative... free shipping for the European Union.
