MID-CENTURY FRENCH 'MEDITERRANEAN HILL VILLAGE LANDSCAPE' OIL PAINTING

A vibrant Mid-Century French oil on board depicting a sunlit Mediterranean hill village nestled amongst rolling agricultural fields and dark mountain ranges beneath an expansive cloud-filled sky. 

Executed in a confident post-impressionist manner, the composition is characterised by expressive brushwork, rich impasto passages, and a strong interplay of light and shadow. The warm terracotta rooftops of the village contrast beautifully with the surrounding greens and ochres of the landscape, creating a striking sense of depth and atmosphere.

Signed lower right, possibly “Gaynard” , and presented in a simple painted wooden frame.
