French Impressionist Watercolor Landscape Village Scene Upon a Hilltop

20th Century

About the Item

Title: "Village Scene Upon a Hilltop" Artist: Maurice Mazeilie (French) Medium: Watercolour on paper, unframed Size: 5.3 x 8.2 inches (Height x Width) Signed: No Stamped Verso: Yes Condition: The painting is in good condition. The top edge is uneven, as the piece appears to have been removed from a sketchbook. On the back, there are some practice strokes that do not show through to the front. Provenance: All the paintings we have by this artist have come from the artist's estate. Description: A captivating original watercolour painting by the 20th-century French Impressionist artist, Maurice Mazeilie. This piece looks down a hill to a charming village scene with several buildings. The warm earthy tones of the village contrast beautifully with the cool blues of the hills and sky. Mazeilie's expressive pencil lines and bold brushstrokes bring energy and life to the scene, creating a tranquil yet dynamic atmosphere. Maurice Mazeilie (French, 1924 - 2021): Mazeilie lived and worked in Montmartre, where he had a studio on the famous Place du Tertre. Place du Tertre, located just a stone’s throw away from the Basilica of Sacré-Cœur, is known for its vibrant community of artists and is considered one of the key locations in Montmartre's artistic history. Since the late 19th century, Montmartre has been a haven for artists, housing greats like Picasso and Modigliani, and providing inspiration with its scenic streets and bustling cafés. Place du Tertre and Montmartre Art Scene: Historical Significance: Place du Tertre became known as an artist's hub during the Belle Époque era, with painters such as Toulouse-Lautrec, Renoir, and Degas frequenting the area. By the 20th century, it became synonymous with art and creativity. Artist Colony: The square remains one of the few places in Paris where artists can publicly display and sell their works directly to tourists and collectors, keeping the artistic tradition alive. Mazeilie's Legacy: His works often depict urban and coastal landscapes. He had a love for Montmartre, Paris, and the Brittany coastline, where he also maintained a studio. His impressionistic style and vibrant scenes reflect his dedication to portraying the world around him. This piece provides a glimpse into Mazeilie’s unique ability to capture the spirit of historical architecture and nature. We have a vast collection of his paintings and look forward to offering them to you over the coming weeks.
