The Old Master Paintings category, Landscape with French Heath, features a 19th-century oil painting on canvas.

Old landscape paintings, a work depicting a naturalistic setting, a gentle, luminous valley crossed by a river.

In the foreground, a field covered with flowering heather bushes adds vibrant color to the scene.

In the background, in the distance, a hilltop village with a bell tower can be seen, bathed in the warm,
diffuse light of sunset or sunrise.

These landscape paintings depict nature and are painted with warm, luminous colors, the atmosphere is serene and poetic.

Plein-air painting is typical of the Barbizon school tradition.

The old work is signed lower right: E. Pail, French landscape painter.

Édouard Pail (1851 – 1916) was born in Corbigny, in the Nièvre region (Burgundy). He studied in Nevers and later in Paris,

where he came into contact with the artistic scene associated with landscape painting and the 
Barbizon and Impressionist schools.

He was a student of Lavoignat and Léon Bonnat. He began exhibiting at the Paris Salon in 1878,
receiving praise and becoming a member.

He exhibited regularly in Paris and the surrounding provinces.
He received medals at the Salon and official awards in 1887 and 1893.

His paintings are exhibited in several important French museums: the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Brest,

Musée d'art et d'histoire Romain-Rolland, Musée d'art Roger-Quilliot, and Musée Hyacinthe-Rigaud.

The oil painting is presented in a original gilded frame.
