Framed Oil Painting on Canvas by Emma Croteux

Price: $980

Framed Oil Painting on Canvas by Emma Croteux is a splendid example of post-impressionism, with the artist using bold strokes to evoke motion and a three dimensional effect.  The composition is a common scene in rural areas of what is now eastern Belgium with a simple shrine in the foreground at left along side a country road with a weathered cottage creating a balancing focal point on the opposite side of the canvas.  Croteux has also skillfully contrasted the sky with the rolling foreground separated by the azure hazy mountains in the distance.  Set in its original frame.
