<meta charset="UTF-8" />
In this work bathed in light, painter André Suzanne, a figure attached to the town of Menton, delivers a poetic view of the old town and port, observed from the Italian border. The canvas, with its bright, vibrant colors, reveals the Mediterranean coast under a clear sky, where palm trees stand like torches of light and warmth.
Painted in January 1971, this oil on canvas embodies the richness of the Mediterranean palette and the vivacity of the pictorial gesture. The brushwork is dynamic, the impasto fresh and the light omnipresent. The whole evokes a living postcard, imbued with nostalgia and sunshine.
The work is signed lower right, and bears the following handwritten inscriptions on the reverse:
"735 Menton Vieille Ville
"January 1971 - View of Menton from the Italian border".
Framed in a beautiful patina finish, this painting offers an authentic yet luminous atmosphere, faithful to the artist's southern universe.
