Pierre LEPAGE (1906, Épinal – 1983, Paris)
Panoramic view of Paris from the heights of Montmartre
Oil on canvas, signed "P. Lepage" lower left, 54 x 72.5 cm

The composition embraces the whole of Paris from the terrace of the Sacré-Cœur, with its rooftops, a factory chimney, and strollers in the gardens below. The reverse bears a second composition, a Seine riverside view with barges and bare trees, in keeping with his documented Paris views such as "Notre-Dame seen from the Seine quays."

Born in Épinal, in the Vosges, Pierre Lepage studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Nancy under Prouvé, who allowed him to work independently. Two of his youthful canvases, drawn toward cubism, earned him encouragement from Picasso. He then moved to Paris and joined André Lhote's studio.

After travels in southern Algeria, one canvas from which was selected for the 1931 Colonial Exhibition, and later Morocco with André Jacquemin, he was taken prisoner in 1940 and managed to reach Algeria. Part of his work was destroyed in the bombing of Épinal in 1944. After the Liberation, he became an official army painter and settled in Concarneau, his wife's hometown, while keeping Paris as a second base. He exhibited regularly at the Salon d'Automne from 1940 onward. A Commandeur des Arts et Lettres, his works are held in the museums of Algiers, Oran, Constantine, Rabat, Vannes, Pont-Aven, Épinal, and Saint-Dié.

The canvas is preserved on its original stretcher, unframed.

Öl auf Leinwand, unten links signiert "P. Lepage", 54 x 72,5 cm

Die Komposition umfasst ganz Paris, gesehen von der Terrasse des Sacré-Cœur, mit seinen Dächern, einem Fabrikschornstein und Spaziergängern in den darunterliegenden Gärten. Auf der Rückseite befindet sich eine zweite Komposition, eine Seine-Ufer-Ansicht mit Lastkähnen und kahlen Bäumen, ganz in der Art seiner dokumentierten Parisansichten wie "Notre-Dame, gesehen von den Seine-Kais".

Geboren in Épinal, in den Vogesen, studierte Pierre Lepage an der École des Beaux-Arts in Nancy bei Prouvé, der ihn unabhängig arbeiten ließ. Zwei seiner Jugendwerke, dem Kubismus zugeneigt, brachten ihm die Ermutigung Picassos ein. Anschließend zog er nach Paris und trat in das Atelier von André Lhote ein.

Nach Reisen in den Süden Algeriens, von denen ein Gemälde für die Kolonialausstellung 1931 ausgewählt wurde, und später nach Marokko mit André Jacquemin, geriet er 1940 in Gefangenschaft und gelangte nach Algerien. Ein Teil seines Werks ging bei der Bombardierung von Épinal 1944 verloren. Nach der Befreiung wurde er offizieller Armeemaler und ließ sich in Concarneau nieder, der Heimatstadt seiner Frau, während er Paris als zweiten Standort behielt. Ab 1940 stellte er regelmäßig im Salon d'Automne aus. Als Commandeur des Arts et Lettres sind seine Werke in den Museen von Algier, Oran, Constantine, Rabat, Vannes, Pont-Aven, Épinal und Saint-Dié vertreten.

Die Leinwand ist auf ihrem Originalkeilrahmen erhalten, ungerahmt.

Vista panoramica di Parigi dalle alture di Montmartre
Olio su tela, firmato "P. Lepage" in basso a sinistra, 54 x 72,5 cm

La composizione abbraccia tutta Parigi dalla terrazza del Sacré-Cœur, con i suoi tetti, una ciminiera industriale e passanti nei giardini sottostanti. Sul retro si trova una seconda composizione, una veduta della Senna con chiatte e alberi spogli, in linea con le sue vedute parigine documentate come "Notre-Dame vista dai lungosenna".

Nato a Épinal, nei Vosgi, Pierre Lepage studiò all'École des Beaux-Arts di Nancy sotto Prouvé, che gli permise di lavorare in piena autonomia. Due delle sue tele giovanili, vicine al cubismo, gli valsero l'incoraggiamento di Picasso. Si trasferì poi a Parigi ed entrò nell'atelier di André Lhote.

Dopo viaggi nel sud dell'Algeria, da cui una tela fu selezionata per l'Esposizione coloniale del 1931, e successivamente in Marocco con André Jacquemin, fu fatto prigioniero nel 1940 e riuscì a raggiungere l'Algeria. Parte della sua opera andò distrutta nel bombardamento di Épinal nel 1944. Dopo la Liberazione, divenne pittore ufficiale dell'esercito e si stabilì a Concarneau, città natale della moglie, pur mantenendo Parigi come seconda base. Espose regolarmente al Salon d'Automne a partire dal 1940. Commandeur des Arts et Lettres, le sue opere sono conservate nei musei di Algeri, Orano, Costantina, Rabat, Vannes, Pont-Aven, Épinal e Saint-Dié.

La tela è conservata sul suo telaio originale, non incorniciata.
