Emile René MÉNARD (1861/62-1930). - Lot 52
Emile René MÉNARD (1861/62-1930).
Bathers at Cap Bénat (Var).
Pastel signed lower right.
Height : 61.5 cm - Width : 84 cm
Antique handwritten label on the back mentioning the title and Havard framing in Paris.
Note: a major figure in French neoclassicism, Emile René Ménard, the son of a painter-philosopher surrounded by the painters of the Barbizon School, was immersed in a humanist culture that sensitized him to nature. Inspired by Antiquity and the Old Masters, he developed an art in which nature and the human figure interact in a quest for harmony and serenity.
Our work perfectly embodies this ideal, the scene featuring female bodies shaped by the glow of the setting sun.
