Louis Beysson 1856-1912 Lyon "steam Locomotive And Its Tender" Oil On Canvas Signed Lower Left

Louis BEYSSON 1856-1912 Lyon "Steam locomotive and its tender" oil on canvas signed lower left. 50 x 65 cm Louis Besson, is especially truly fascinated by locomotives, landscapes crossed by trains, large snow fields stained by railway smoke. He follows the fine arts of his hometown in Danguin's studio. He exhibits at the Lyon salon, from 1886 portraits of locomotives under pressure, station interiors with shapes drowned in steam and at the Paris salon, in 1890, "effect of rain on a railway". So many odes to mechanics and speed which are not devoid of a certain nostalgic poetry. He exhibited at the Lyon salon, from 1886 and at the Paris salon, from 1890. He was above all the painter of locomotives, of smoky stations. Please note that our painting has larger dimensions than those usually available on the market. The canvas is in perfect condition, the frame needs to be restored. The place could be Gallieni's bridge in Lyon, France.
