Antique Painting, Edmond His, Landscape With River Painting, XX Century. (qp703)

The Antique Paintings, Landscape with River category features an oil on canvas artwork from the early 20th century,

depicting a tranquil natural scene, a river landscape immersed in nature that evokes serenity and harmony. French School.

In the foreground, a leaning tree on the right stretches toward a clear watercourse reflecting hues of green and gold.

Moss-covered rocks dot the riverbank and bed. Sunlight gently filters through the foliage, creating a soft, natural chiaroscuro,

while the water mirrors the sunlight and the shadows of the trees. Art Deco period.

The antique painting is signed lower right E. René His, a French painter renowned for his landscapes: forests, riverbanks,

ponds, and waterways.

René Charles Edmond His (1877-1960) was born in Colombes, near Paris, and studied under the academic masters Jules Lefebvre,

Henri Biva, Tony Robert-Fleury, and Léon Tanzi. He became a member of the Société des Artistes Français in 1897, earning several

distinctions: honorable mention (1898), third-class medal (1900), and recognition at the Exposition Universelle (1900).

His work adheres more closely to academic and naturalistic traditions than to Impressionism or the avant-garde.

His paintings are held in major museums such as the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rennes, Musée Boucher de Perthes (Abbeville),

Musée de Cahors, Musée de Charleville, Musée de Constantine, and Musée de Senlis.

The oil painting comes with a beautiful gilded frame from the same period, both frame and canvas carefully and professionally restored.
