The Dore Valley

Landscape painting from France: French School of the 20th-century oil on wood attributed to Frank Bal (1876-1960) and dated on the back 1936. The landscape represents the Dore Valley in the south of France (Puy-de-Dôme). The panel is textured in the foreground and the surface is smoother in the background.

An Impressionist work with a beautiful depth and a lively palette carried by a beautiful natural light. The golden frame and its foliage perfectly match the bright colors of the landscape.

About the artist: Bal was a French landscaper who lived in St Cloud (Paris region). He exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants in 1909 and 1910. Some of his works are also at the Paris International Exhibition in 1937 from May to November. This major Parisian event is the first universal exhibition organized in France.
