Sunset (Soleil Couchant) - Pierre Bonnard - Canvas Wall Art brings gallery-caliber art into everyday spaces. This landscape oil painting is a 100% hand painted oil painting on canvas, created for buyers who want genuine post-impressionist canvas wall art instead of a mass-produced poster or paper print.
1920
Oil on canvas
In the 1920s, Bonnard spent a great deal of time on the coasts of St. Tropez, Cannes, Antibes and Le Cannet. Captivated by these towns, Bonnard painted evocative and harmonious landscapes exemplified in Soleil couchant. Bonnard's affinity for nature is captured in the background of the composition where brilliant planes of reds, yellows and blues resonate. He carefully renders each band of color to signify water, air and sky.
Michael Terrasse has written, "Under the blazing sun, with the mistral blowing, his palette caught fire without losing any of its subtlety. A born colorist, he was sensitive not only to bursts of color but equally to the quality of the air, to the vibration, the texture, the perfume of things: a red varies depending on whether the weather is cold or warm, a yellow is different depending on whether it comes from a dress or from a mimosa" (Michael Terrasse, Bonnard at le Cannet, London, 1988, p. 11).
Through his involvement with the Nabis at the beginning of the century, Bonnard had grown accustomed to using decorative stylistic elements in his paintings such as flattened patches of color and bold contours. His use of this technique was extraordinarily effective in conveying the texture of the terrain, and igniting canvases with atmospheric color of the remarkable sort seen in the present work.
Every hand painted oil painting in this landscape series is finished on artist-grade canvas and checked against the original before it leaves the studio.
From primer to varnish, the work is done manually on artist-grade canvas. The absence of digital printing is deliberate: it keeps the landscape brushwork visible and gives the post-impressionist oil painting wall decor a museum-like finish.
As entryway wall decor, this canvas brings color and texture without visual noise. It scales well from a small study to a large entryway feature wall, and it is a reliable choice when shopping for landscape oil painting as a gift.
Whether the search term is landscape oil painting, entryway wall decor, or post-impressionist oil painting wall decor, this hand painted canvas delivers the same thing: a real painted surface, made to your chosen dimensions.
