Beautiful work by Cannes painter Marius DALON depicting a view of Mont Chevalier with the church of Le Suquet in Cannes and the islands of Lérins in the background, taken from the Croix des Gardes.

The painting was produced around 1885/1890 in an Impressionist style with its small touches of color.

A student of painters Léon Bonnat and Allbert Maignan at the Ecole des Beaux-arts de Paris, Marius Dalon mainly depicted floral compositions "very warm in color" and landscapes of Cannes: "Rue à Cannes" and "Pins de la Roubine".
From 1892 to 1902, he was appointed curatorial advisor to Philippe Pinatel at the Musée des Beaux-arts de la ville de Cannes.
Attached to his native town, he took an active part in exhibitions by Cannes artists and in local life as a Member of the Comité des fêtes de la Ville de Cannes.
American painter Edward B Fuld benefited from the painter's enlightened advice during his stay in France in 1895.
