Lagny-sur-marne Bridge, Seine-et-marne, Georges Lordereau 1882–1959

Georges Lordereau (Rennes 1882–1959)
The Lagny Bridge, October 13, 1942
Oil on panel, signed lower right, titled and dated on the reverse.

A charming oil painting depicting the famous Lagny-sur-Marne Bridge, created on October 13, 1942, by Georges Lordereau. A French painter born in Rennes in 1882, he is particularly admired for his landscapes of Île-de-France, especially those of Seine-et-Marne, which he renders with a lively touch and a beautiful sensitivity to light.

This composition offers a peaceful view of the banks of the Marne, enlivened by the bridge and its reflections in the water. The soft tones of the sky, the greens of the trees, and the bluish hues of the river lend the entire scene a serene and luminous atmosphere, characteristic of French landscape painting from the first half of the 20th century.

The painting is titled, dated, and annotated on the reverse in the artist’s own hand, including his Paris address at 77 rue Cambronne, Paris XV, providing an interesting record of provenance.
