Forêt

Original oil landscape painting from France: Oil on hardboard signed Pierre Gustave René (1875-1939) in the lower left corner, and titled "Forêt."
 
The surface is smooth with thick brushstrokes, and the colors are bright and pure. The greens give off a beautiful light and add significant life to the landscape. The double gilding on the frame is the perfect addition to create a romantic finish.
About the artist: Gustave René attended the School of Beaux-Arts in Paris during his youth. He then became a member of the Society of French Artists and participated in the Salon as an exhibition exhibitor every year between 1893 and 1933. He was a medalist three times. The Reims Museum of Fine Arts holds five of his paintings, including a large panel. He was named Knight of the Legion of Honor in 1933.
