ALEXANDRE LOUIS JACOB | Feuilles d'Automne
Oil on Board
14 x 23 cms / 5½ x 9 inches
In Feuilles d’Automne, Alexandre Louis Jacob captures the fleeting melancholy of autumn through a delicate orchestration of light and texture. Painted en plein air, the work demonstrates Jacob’s distinctive method of layering thin veils of pigment over textured ground, creating a hazy luminosity that softens form and distance. The rhythmic brushwork suggests a mist rising from the riverbank as figures and horses dissolve into atmosphere. Jacob’s sensitivity to tone and transience transforms this quiet rural scene into a poetic meditation on season and memory.
Alexandre Jacob's tranquil and subtle landscapes show a masterful evocation of light, atmosphere and colour, transporting the viewer into the peaceful countryside of rural France.
He gained an understanding and love for nature through studied inspection, transferring his unique observations skilfully onto canvas.
Making his name in the French Salons of the 1920s and 30s, his immense talent was immediately recognised by his peers and then by the establishment.
