Georges Lefebvre (1887-1962)

Georges Lefebvre (1887-1962) - Animated landscape in the Impressionist taste

Charming oil on canvas by Georges Lefebvre, a Belgian painter born in 1887 and died in 1962, whose works have appeared regularly at public sales for several decades.

The painting depicts a lively countryside landscape, crossed by a meandering stream amid flowering meadows. The composition, perfectly balanced, opens onto a delicately treated tree-lined horizon.

This is a seductive ensemble, with a strong sense of harmony.

The overall effect is seductive in its freshness and luminosity, with a subtle palette punctuated by red and white touches enlivening the vegetation. The brushstroke is free and slightly impastoed, translating a beautiful sensitivity to light and atmospheric effects.

This work is part of the early 20th-century landscape tradition, directly inspired by the Impressionist movement and its post-impressionist extensions, much appreciated for its spontaneity and decorative power.

A light cleaning accompanied by a colorless varnish has been carried out, revealing all the depth of the colors and restoring the canvas to its natural brilliance.
