Louis Emile Charpenne – Animated Scene: The Banks Of The Rhône – Oil On Canvas – Signed

A good-sized oil on canvas depicting the banks of the Rhône in the late 19th or early 20th century.
Identification with the Rhône is encouraged by the suspended point seen in the background of the scene. Several bridges of this type were built from 1825 onwards to cross the Rhône.
The river occupies the foreground of the painting and crosses it diagonally. On the bank, several walkers and a few cows can be seen. Large trees create an imposing mass of color.

The work has been restored (several repairs are visible on the back), but it is nevertheless in good condition and very bright. It is presented in a simple varnished wooden frame.

This work was created by Louis Emile Charpenne, a painter active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He mainly explored peaceful subjects—landscapes of the Rhône Valley and Provence, still life scenes, and religious portraits.
