Good condition- needs cleaning - empire frame
Elevé a l'Ecole des Beaux Arts de Lyon Charles Montlevault became a silk clerk for the house of Arles-Dufour, a profession that led him to travel.
Landscape painter, he drew inspiration from his sojourns in North Africa, the Middle East but also France and the Netherlands. He painted numerous panels in the Lyonnais inns and cafés he frequented, notably decorating the Hotel de la Bombarde (Quartier St Jean), the Cafe Hugon and the 19th-century Salle de l'Academie (now the Westminster Bank). Recognized by his contemporaries, notably painters Jaques Martin and Adolphe Appian, for his warmly-colored canvases and exotic subjects, his landscape work also focuses on Lyon and the surrounding region.
Montlevault's touch, often compared to that of Courbet, testifies to the painter's emotion in the face of Nature, an emotion he captured with talent in color and matter.
