Edouard Louis Cauvin, 1817 – 1900
THE BANKS OF THE DURANCE NEAR PLAN D'ORGON
Oil on canvas.
43.5 x 79.5 cm.
Signed "E. Cauvin" and dated "1888" lower right.
In gilded frame.
The painting features a low horizon and a wide, airy perspective of the Provençal river. Here, several women look out over the river to do their laundry, while a carriage drives calmly and serenely through the composition. Mountainous and rocky deposits frame the image on the left, while the riverbed defines the center of the composition. The details are sketchy and instinctively rendered with small splashes of color. The palette follows the colors of nature and is harmonized with a masterful use of the play of light and shadow.
Cauvin was the cousin and pupil of Vincent Cordouan (1810 -1893), a famous painter from Toulon. Partially rest.
Cauvin initiated the renewal of Provençal painting with its traditionally recurring themes; he created harmony between man and nature.(1401476) (19)
