A 20th-century oil painting on wood panel from the atelier of the Normandy painter Emile Tremblay (1855-1935). The piece is monogrammed in the lower right corner and features the atelier's stamp on the reverse. The piece is dated 1905 on the back and is located in the Valley of Saint Peter, on the island of Jersey, the largest of the Channel Islands.
This is a very small format painting. In its charming horizontal format, and with the lush greens of the landscape and rolling sky, it would make an exceptional accent piece to a painting wall or even focal point for a shelf or special space.
Emile Tremblay is an artist with no available biography online. However, through extensive research of old archives and letters, we have uncovered some context about his closest associates. Emile had a brother, Louis Tremblay, who was a published poet, author, and painter. Emile was also a dear friend of the famous Swedish artist, art critic, and museum manager Richard Bergh (1858-1919), to whom he inscribed a painting with the dedication, "To my brother Bergh." The remainder of what we know about Emile Tremblay comes solely from his exquisite atelier works.
