Victor Charreton (1864-1936) Canal in Bruges Oil on board signed lower left and located on the back 31 x 40 cm Provenance: > Sale Morelle et Marchandet, Drouot-Paris, 14 June 1996, lot 121 > Private collection, Île-de-France This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Michel Maket dated July 1, 1996 Co-founder of the Salon d'Automne in 1903 with Pierre Bonnard, Victor Charreton, a post-impressionist painter and outstanding colorist, is the figurehead of the Murol school in Auvergne. The vaporous treatment of his landscapes is perfectly reflected in this painting immortalizing a canal in the famous Venice of the North.
