Fernand Maillaud (1863-1948) – Oil On Double-sided Panel, Crozant School

Fernand Maillaud (1863-1948) – Oil on double-sided panel, Crozant School. An interesting oil on panel, painted on both sides, signed Fernand Maillaud (1863-1948), an important painter and emblematic figure of the Crozant School. One side depicts a rural scene with a Berry-style house, rendered in a luminous palette and with the free brushwork characteristic of the artist. The other side presents a countryside landscape with a haystack and horse-drawn cart, evoking the landscapes of Berry and Creuse that greatly inspired Maillaud throughout his career. The panel is presented in a wooden frame. Dimensions: Panel: 46 x 65 cm; Framed: 60 x 79 cm. Shipping: €30. We are constantly seeking works from the Crozant School (Guillaumin, Detroy, Alluaud, Madeline, Maillaud, etc.). We can travel throughout France for purchase or appraisal. 06 49 41 49 95 Fernand Maillaud was born in 1863 in Mouhet, Indre, and died in 1948. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes Français and later at the Salon d'Automne. Close to the landscape painters of the Creuse Valley, he became one of the leading figures of the Crozant School, alongside artists such as Armand Guillaumin. His work is deeply inspired by the landscapes of Berry, rural scenes, and peasant life, which he conveyed through sensitive and luminous painting. His works are now held in several public collections and museums.
